A new Age dawns! Twenty years have passed since the Knights saved the Realm by sacrificing one of their own, and the Expanse has changed considerably in the interim. Jon lays out the details of not only the new lay of the land, but also how the Knights have invested in the Realm over the past score of years.

The climactic battle with Wulfrun, the Sentinel of the Peaks, commences upon a rocky precipice inside the boiling caldera of Mt. Boreas! With the situation much changed in the aftermath, the players discuss the possibility of jumping an entire Age forward in time.

Sep 29, 2026

The rather arrogant Sidereal Knight Sir Ogan is now at the mercy of the Sentinel of the Peaks, and the Company must hold to their Oaths and help him out of his predicament. Mt Boreas begins to erupt, and the trek to the Pyrostomion -- the Mouth of Fire -- is fraught with peril.
