THE NOVEL

Santa Belaria

In the freest port of the New World, a pirate, a knight, a war-worn priest, and a wizard with a stolen name accept the kind of expedition sensible people refuse.

Beyond the harbor waits a drowned country, an impossible sunrise, and something ancient beneath the earth.

SESSIONS ENVISIONED

THE CAMPAIGN

A world written at the table.

A long-form old-school fantasy campaign set in the same world as the fiction—where exploration matters, choices persist, and the consequences become history.
