Shadows of the Chosen

Shadows of the Chosen is a campaign system built on the Voices tabletop role-playing system.

It describes a world different from our own. Dark, medieval, and fantastical.

Action primarily centers on the lands of a continent called New Aetheria.

The Story So Far...

The world is shattered, and the old Empire is crumbling.

Shadows stalk the land, sucking people's souls from their mortal bodies.

What humanity is left clings to life in precious few bastions.

Beneath the ground in the Empire's old tunnels, creatures rise from the molten core to usurp and enslave the human domains, including some strategically important places.

There is an old capital fading.

There is a new capital rising.

To keep things going, a system of Mit'a or corvee' is levied (i.e. tribute by labor)

There is tension between the central Imperial administration & the warlords that have risen to fill the cracks

With what spares they can scrounge up, people brew fruit wines, grain beers, and honey-like meads in their cellars.
