MossHaven: Act I

Banished, imprisoned, and injured, the broken-winged Agrias is crestfallen and his situation is dire. But the cold silence of his prison cell has given him plenty of time to calculate escape and revenge with the aid of a mysterious bird crafted from his own flesh and blood. Agrias' charisma and intellect have him collecting followers like a cult-leader, and now they're being prepared for revolution against the oligarchic, despotic Himerian empire. Three bandits from the impoverished and exploited city of Gardara are about to unknowingly play a part in Agrias' master plan. The grand cataclysm leading to Agrias' prison break reveals his willingness to use anyone as a pawn to further his own agenda, and his motives for toppling the corrupt empire may be less pure than he would have it seem. The prison break results in a chain of immense consequences for those living in Himeria, Gardara, and elsewhere under the shadow of Mt. Caramat. To make matters worse, not everything contained in the prison is human. With the prison bars broken, accounts are now spreading of horrifying beasts spilling out across the countryside. In a land of wonder and boundless mystery, the balance of power is about to shift. Looming dangers and powerful entities threaten to forever alter the destiny of MossHaven.
