Lordsworn (Session 1)

We meet the ragged company after cataclysmic battle. They have lost their God: Mavos, the Mighty, Goddess of Might, Warfare, Wisdom, and Fire.
They have lost their Captain, the stern Kyon, who lived and died by his motto "Through Hardship we Ascend".
But who amongst their meagre numbers will return to Trufast, will the rumblings of Mt Helphi and the quiet words of the blind Prophets guide them home, or have they gone quiet now too...

You rode to war at the call of your God, swore yourself to Their divinity as the drums of war beat from every corner of the Pantheon. Standing beside your divinity, Their purpose so clear and noble, you felt immortal. Beside your fellow Lordsworns, you felt your victory a certainty, battle but a trivial formality.

Now They lay dead before you, Their Godblood flowing into the dirt. Already the world lurches in distress, twisting at the loss of a God, one of many to die this day. Your Captain, too, lies broken, entrusting the survivors of your Company to the you. Of the thousands who rode out, you are all that remains of your Company.

Your God is dead. You only have each other now.
