  • The Sootworks/Smokeshollow
    The Sootworks is the largest industrial district in O'l Andem and the cornerstone of production in Loudwater. It produces more commodities than that of any other city. It was hit hard during the Dragonborn/Mainland war and remnants and ruins lay scattered about after arial attacks and bombings. 40 years after it thrives. However there are large scale labour warfare happening between the factories, the labour unions, the constabulary and the union busters. Loudwater law is lax on workers rights and there is currently a change in attitude amongst the many workers of the districts.

Session 0: A plan amidst chaos

A bunch of nerds sit down and discuss the upcoming years of their fantasy lives


In the industrial maze of O’l Andem’s Sootworks, five unlikely companions are pulled together by fate, when a series of arcane explosions and forbidden dreams shatter the routine of their lives. Teel, a dwarven ex-union buster haunted by guilt, searches for a way to save a loved one injured in a factory disaster. Triandra, a half-elven paper-pusher with buried pain and surreal visions, begins slipping between waking and dream. Alkaline, a brilliant and abrasive Tiefling machinist, hides dangerous research linked to her lost family and a strange gauntlet. Florian, a young halfling and secret Etherborn, wrestles with identity while carrying the legacy of a vanished mentor. And Naved Khadem, a former Aurum Watch officer bound to an enigmatic patron, seeks redemption in the ruins of authority. As they chase clues across ruined workshops, dreamscapes, and decaying union halls, they uncover the remnants of Pneuma, a raw and ancient form of energy long forbidden by the state-backed Pneumoclasts. With both criminals and conspirators closing in, the group must learn to trust one another and master the strange forces awakening within them. What begins as a search for answers may soon become a fight to reshape the very soul of the world.
