Description:

Ancient Kingdoms: Greece is a world of great intolerance and new discoveries, of advancements in medicine and physics and of shockingly brutal warfare. Warriors are proud and battle to ensure their feats are emblazoned on the memory of their descendants. The gods are at all times a presence, both subtle and gross, arbitrating and countering each other's supernatural agents.

It is up to the PCs to navigate through the deluge and bring honor to their families, their city-states, and their deity. It will not be easy; monsters of all stripes, bloodthirsty foreigners, and the elements themselves strive against the heroes. But without risk there can be no reward, and no Greek worth his shield would shy away from such adventure.

Welcome to the ancient world.
