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!
