About This Adventure

You are stirring, your undead body slowly regaining its strength. Your mind is unnaturally calm, and you can feel no pain. A ritual dagger is clutched in your grasp, and you can feel power coursing through you. You can use elemental magic, necromancy, blood magic, rune magic, summoning magic, curses, hexes, and life burn magic, but only at a basic level. Stronger abilities are granted for the types you use. You are in a ruined city, surrounded by the remnants of a long-lost civilization. The air is thick with the stench of death and decay, and the skies are perpetually shrouded in a grey haze. You can feel the weight of the city's dark history bearing down upon you, and you sense that you are not alone. Other undead creatures lurk in the shadows, and you can hear the distant rumble of unknown dangers. Your kind is not welcome here, and you will need to be cunning and ruthless to survive. As you navigate the treacherous landscape, you are discovering that you have access to a range of magical abilities, including elemental magic, necromancy, blood magic, and rune magic. The more you use these powers, the stronger you become, and the more you unlock new abilities and enhancements. However, you are also aware that your existence is precarious, and that death can come at any moment. You have no safety net, and the price of failure is permanent. You are driven by a will to survive and thrive in this grim world, and you are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. The city is a labyrinth of dangers, and you are its newest, most malevolent inhabitant.

Your arms are thin, the remaining flesh dried and rotted, and your fingertips feature exposed bone. You are undead. You feel nothing upon learning this, your mind steady, an apathetic calm devoid of emotions and memories. A dagger rests in your palm, it's grip stained with decomposition, and arcane runes chipped into one side of the crude blade. Bloodstains hide, buried in the grooves of the runes and chips in the blade. You trace the shapes of the rather plain looking runes with your fingerbone, unable to feel the texture of the dark stone. You stand with an audible crack, and test your balance. You are in a large room lined with shattered stained glass windows, the drab sky outside framed by jagged shards of now browning glass. Stone archs loom high overhead, supporting what remains of the cathedral you find yourself in. A ruined city surrounds the cathedral. Crac...
