In a Land of Bones and Souls
A n unknown cataclysm thrusts the heroes into the Boneyard, where souls
are judged after death... but the heroes aren't dead! Trapped in a tomb
that isn't their own, they must use their wits and might to escape. The
grim and otherworldly psychopomps who serve as the shepherds of souls
are divided on what to do with these unexplained arrivals. The heroes
must negotiate treacherous psychopomp politics and journey through a
landscape of gloom and nightmare before walking the Dead Roads that can
lead them home!
