About this adventure
The boundary between Hell and the mortal realm has fractured, creating a twisted landscape where the scorched badlands of Death Valley merge with infernal architecture—obsidian towers, rivers of molten rock, and caverns that defy physics. Demons have seized control of this merged realm, using it as a hunting ground and fortress. They view any intrusion as either sport or an opportunity to claim new souls. However, not all is as it appears..
Prologue
The air burns with sulfur and echoes with the tormented screams of the damned. Where the Nevada desert once stood, now obsidian towers claw at a sky choked with ash, and the earth bleeds rivers of molten fire. This is the Ashen Threshold, a fractured realm stitched together from the mortal world and the infernal depths of Hell. Demons stalk these lands, reveling in their newfound hunting grounds. But something is amiss in this unholy union. Whispers of rebellion stir among the damned, and even the demonic ranks are fractured by suspicion and hidden agendas. Hope flickers in the darkness, though its source remains shrouded in mystery. Now, drawn by fate or folly, wanderers find themselves cast into this nightmare realm, where survival hinges on cunning, courage, and the forging of alliances in the most unlikely of places. The descent has begun.
