Albain has fallen. The great power of Vican, ruled by the Iron Queen, has torn asunder the rule of the old Kings of Albain and, in their stead, her Regent, Lord Alastair Campbell, rules the land with his agents and allies. For some a new era of prosperity begins, as the technology and magic of Vican are used to increase their power and wealth. For others, old ways of life are ending and leaving them destitute, barely scraping a living. They long for the return of the old ways and the old kings.

For adventurers there is coin to be had from both sides and intrigue will beget opportunity. Albain is a place of old magic, old gods and deep hidden treasures. There are dungeons, secret temples, faerie groves and dark caves where ancient treasures can be recovered. But beware the darkness that lies there, crawlers - a sudden just of wind or an unlucky step and you could lose your light. And then the Shadowdark will come to claim you...

We play the campaign with the new Shadowdark rules, a fast paced gritty fantasy setting where death is always near and clever planning, teamwork and quick wits are needed for the players to survive. Download the quick starter rules from The Arcane Library.
