About This Adventure
Orario rises around you like a living monument—eight districts circling the impossible tower of Babel, its base a mouth that swallows throngs of hopefuls each dawn and spits out the bruised, the wealthy, or the dead by dusk. You have only just arrived in the Labyrinth City with little more than traveler’s coin and the distant rumor that gods walk among mortals here, offering divine blessings in exchange for loyalty and spectacle. The Guild’s marble halls wait with registration papers and cautious advisors; tavern doors spill laughter and war stories from the Hostess of Fertility; Familia recruiters eye every new face as potential pieces in games older than the city itself. Beneath the streets the Dungeon breathes, a self-repairing labyrinth of phosphorescent stone and endless monsters, while above it deities drink, flirt, scheme, and grow bored—ready to embrace a fresh mortal with Falna or discard them for amusement. The air hums with the promise of levels, magic stones, War Games, and ruin. Your first choice of patron, your first step toward Babel’s entrance, and the first night spent wondering whether you will become a footnote or a legend have not yet been made. The gods are watching. The Dungeon is hungry. Survival has not begun—it is only now possible.

At the absolute center rises Babel, a white tower so vast it seems less built than grown, fifty stories of impossible grace pinning the world shut over the only Dungeon that matters. Dawn light slides down its flanks like liquid gold; by mid-morning the plaza at its feet already seethes with the hopeful, the desperate, and the merely curious, all drawn by the same rumor that has pulled people across continents for a thousand years: gods walk these streets in mortal skin, and they still offer blessings to those bold or foolish enough to kneel. You stand among the newest arrivals, the chalk-dust of the road still on your boots and the last of a travel...
