Synopsis:

Over a millennium ago, the land of Nordancrest was taken by darkness. Creatures made from the essence of nightmares began to flood the country, terrorizing the populace. The standing military was wiped out and the city was abandoned to horrendous monsters. The only occupied towns now exist on the furthest edges of the once-peaceful realm. A single event draws a collection of tragic individuals together to struggle against the dying of the light. The sun disappeared over a thousand years ago and in its place a dark star appeared encapsulated within a corona of purple light. A mysterious ruler wearing a dark crown took over the capital city whose name was lost to time. Shortly thereafter, floating black orbs began to appear in towns and flowing mists began to enshroud the forests, mountains, and waters of the world. Within this fog, nightmarish creatures would set upon those unfortunate enough to be caught unguarded. As well, the newly materialized ebon orbs would lash out at those that would defy the edicts of the new ruler. Over the next few centuries, life within the kingdom reached a semblance of homeostasis, as its denizens began to adapt to the established order of the world. The Hissing Mists, named because of the snake-like whispers that emanate from its proximity, are avoided or only ventured into with the accompaniment of armed escorts. This tale begins in the port town of Purduit, a charming village with a population numbering no more than a few hundred. Two separate bands of adventures have arrived under entirely different circumstances. The first, beast tamers (and friend) of the widely acclaimed carnival Morpheus the Magus and his Marvelous Miscellanea, have been within the walls of Purduit for no more than a night's rest. Their primary task to prepare their charges for the upcoming performances scheduled to begin within three days time . The second, the crew of the Wavedancer, arriving and looking for the fortune teller operating out of the aforementioned circus, Mara Brightburn and hopefully....whatever exciting jobs might come their way.
