Ashen Badlands: Of Dust and Gunpowder

Audio Codex XVIII

Welcome to the western frontier of AshenReach.

A land of red mesas, endless grasslands, lonely pine forests, and deserts where ash drifts like snow. Here, ghostly campfires still burn, ancient tribes ride beside spectral Elderhorns, and old roads disappear into the dust.

Meet the Ash-Rider Chieftain and his wandering dead, follow the legendary feud between the gunslinger Calder Fate and the vampiric outlaw Elias Gallows, descend into the Ossuary Hollows of the Bone Apiarists, and hear the rattling prayers of serpent cults that worship something sleeping beneath the sands.

This is only the beginning.
