In our first fateful tale, four adventurers are tasked with a Wilding—a contract to educate and protect four mysterious youths from the Empire's inner regions in the ways of the untamed Wilds at its edges. What seemed a simple task quickly unravels as danger rises, half-truths emerge, and betrayal surfaces. Our players uncover a sinister truth—their contract hides ulterior motives. With the contract only partly fulfilled, four young scions in their care, and trust a rare commodity, the adventurers must decide: which path will they take as the shadow of the Empire looms near?
