Endless Starlight: Shattered Under Midnight

A One-Shot Role-Playing Game for AmberCon Northwest 2007

For one hundred years, the Shadows of Faerie have known peace and prosperity. For one hundred years, the Realms have lived Happily Ever Since the valiant heroes gathered by Queen Ella sought the Heart of the World and healed her with Wish and Blood. But that time is now gone, and peace is shredding as swiftly as starlight in a winter's storm. Now Queen, Ella's daughter, Blanche has a tenuous hold on her throne; supported by the visibly-aging Benedicte, she is harried daily by her ex-Advisor, Brandwell, whose incendiary ideas are calling other realms to his cause and tearing Faerie apart at the seams.

Amid this turmoil, the Heart of the World, Fiona, is fading from existence, a piece of her heart at a time. Reclusive for the last few years, she is now all but silent ... the light dimming in her starlight eyes. All that is Real to your senses fades as well, and even the lackwits understand that the Heart is the Land.

As Brandwell's forces gather closer to the Queen's palace, you are called beyond the city, to a dark finger of the old forest where the stars still shine despite the coming day ... called to act before the starlight dies forever.

Shattered Under Midnight is the second part of a story which began in Under Endless Starlight at ACNW 2006. Prior participation isn't necessary and neither is knowledge of The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny, though the game system being used is loosely based on those found in Amber Diceless Role-Playing Game, and some characters from Zelazny's works make appearances from time to time.

Please take a few moments to read through the information found on the sidebar. This will give you the background you need to give your character a place in the universe. If you have questions about the history, background, or the powers your character possesses, please feel free to email me at kath(dot)nyborg(at)gmail.com We'll also have a wee bit of time before the session begins to go over loose ends.
