The Fallout of Fallacy [Second Edition

" When the eye of the world has dimmed and stars have fallen as if made of rain,

Of solid gold and stardust rulers shall remain,

forevermore until burned in fury and in flame

And the world of men shall be made to begin again. "

Centuries ago, war tore the lands of Victarius apart, reforging them into six united kingdoms under one Crown and one Church.

Penance, prosperity, and forgiveness were granted during this rebirth, provided the people adhered to their Divine Destinies-life paths crafted by the stars they were born under-a holy calling by God Himself and sanctioned through the Church.

But peace and civility can only last so long, and lies cannot be hidden forever.

King Ivan Scott had not always danced on the edge of tyranny, but as his grip on his people begins to falter, the Crown and the Church have no choice but to rain down punishments against those who dare whisper against his reign and question the Church's holy word. Yet the more the iron grip tightens, the more ghosts from the past whisper of what His Majesty fears the most- the stars are falling, the nights are darkening, and the empire is ending.

In an attempt to prevent that which looms over the throne, Lady Belva Montarian of Ayeshire, the king's longest-standing ally, is paid a royal visit and made an offer her country cannot refuse. Shortly after their generations-long alliance is tensely reaffirmed, Lady Belva and her House come face-to-face with the fallacies they have grown content with and the lies her ally has hidden from her.

As the embers of another Great War begin to ignite, leaders throughout the Six Kingdoms must form alliances, settle differences, and take action to fight for justice or for power. For when your kingdom is built on lies, it is destined to burn.
