  Dawn on Khitus
  K
  hitus bakes beneath the harsh sun, its beneficent 
  Dragon Kings gone, replaced by tyrants and 
  marauders, its people bereft of both hope and heroes.
  
  Time to Die
  O
  ne warrior marches out to what he believes 
  will be his final battle. A refugee of a 
  ruined kingdom, he pits himself against the 
  heartless raiders who plunder his country.
  
  Forward 
  Mighty Wagons
  C
  aptured and chained, the warrior is 
  taken from his ruined homeland on a 
  huge caravan. Its guards, hired mercenaries, 
  weigh their brutality against their profits.
  
  The Water Bringer
  U
  nbeaten and unbowed, a proud, enslaved 
  princess of a neighboring kingdom is 
  forced to bring water to the warrior and the 
  other captives. He finds strength and 
  determination in her unspoken courage 
  … and perhaps something more.
  
  Lotus Warriors
  T
  he warrior is bewildered by potions and incantations 
  that make him a more docile slave, and then forced 
   to fight as a gladiator for the amusement of his 
  captors on the outskirts of a strange city.
  
  Fly By the Night Sky
  E
  scape finds the warrior fleeing 
   through dangerous wastelands 
  while still chained to an inhuman 
  adversary, a Cold Skin 
  gladiator with 
  unfathomable 
  motivations.
  
  Among the Peaceful
  O
  n his own again, the warrior finds 
  sanctuary among a people untouched 
  by the ravages being wrought upon the 
  world. They accept him and share 
  their bounty.
  
  The Dragon Kings
  T
  he warrior’s gentle hosts impart to 
  him a vision both pleasant 
  and troubling, images of the glorious 
  Classic Age mixed with 
  turbulent, present-day truths.
  
  Grim Mask of Courage
  M
  any months pass as the warrior wanders 
  ever westward, ever nearer his lost love 
  and her captors. He earns coins selling his 
  sword to city after desperate city 
  defending itself against ever 
  strengthening marauders 
        …  and worse.
  
  Deep in 
  the Hivelands
  T
  ales warn that the dreaded 
  Black Fortress cannot be 
  assaulted, but wanderers say the 
  bug men’s warrens may reach 
  beneath its high walls. The 
  warrior steels himself to 
  sneak through the 
  strange Hivelands.
  
  Be Gone
  T
  he Pretenders’ otherworldly magic thwarts 
  the warrior’s courage, keeping him from  
  his love who they keep in chains. Weary 
  and nearly beaten, his moment of destiny 
  is at hand.
  
  Beyond the Infinite
  A
  s new heroes emerge, the world’s decline may at last be arrested, but 
  the challenges to freedom and justice remain numerous.
