The End of Time and Other Bothers
Summary: An improvised fantasy roleplaying game set in the world of Alba Salix, Royal Physician. We use the Dungeon World roleplaying system and improv to weave a tale of flightless fairies, half-demons and cafeteria line workers, dystopian empires, magical waterfalls and mysterious books. Oh, and the end of time—that's in there somewhere too.

On the trail of the Shattering, the party drive towards the mysterious Mount Zirma, but meet resistance along the way – and discover that they aren't the only passengers on board the Blatavan. Content Warning: Kidnapping, confinement, violence, drug use, unwanted advances, and do I need to mention screaming?

We leave our three adventurers for a moment and journey to a far-off island. Long ago, Ananka and Moira's youngest sister Tekmar ran from the Nexus and went into hiding.
