ConnovarAdmin: Mike & Sheling
…madness ate her heart, that her children rent her breast and she heard their
screams as laughter. They slew one another, not for hatred or war, but for beauty,
love, peace and prosperity.
—Magrin Vole, “The Harrowing of Shannath”
Overview
They believed the God of Madness was a myth, a tale told to frighten children and explain misfortune. They built a city on land said to be strong with His power and laughed around their hearths at night, telling scary stories. They did not notice that the shadows were a little darker, a little larger, a little oddly shaped. They did not notice that their lives changed, creeping closer to the stories they told. By the time they did notice, they were far too mad to care…
After the great and beautiful city of Shannath collapsed in on itself, prey to the Mad God, the men and women of the Temple held a special conclave to discuss how to stop the encroaching madness. After much debate, the leaders agreed to establish a new monastery in the ruins of Shannath, composed of men and women of each of the nine orders, to begin the task of reclaiming and re-establishing Order. They named the monastery "Connovar".
You are a monk, newly arrived in Connovar, prepared to spread order in the Madness-infested ruins of Shannath…and completely unprepared for what awaits you there…
