NIGHT FALLS ON YENSID
October 5-November 14

The land of Yensid was once primarily populated by three species--humans, the Stonefolk, and the Forest Folk. For generations, the three of them lived together in harmony, the bonds of which were strengthened by three parts of the Amulet of Yensid, which were brought together each year in a ceremony designed to strengthen the magic of the land. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk in particular rely upon this magic, for without it, Stonefolk become statues, and the Forest Folk become simple beasts. The humans simply used magic to make their lives a little easier.

But the amulet was lost, the magic went out of the land, and now only the humans rule. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk are thought of as nothing more than myth, but there's something to that myth...and parts of an amulet have just been put on display a thousand years later in the year 201X.

Enter the Travelers, with more history in this world than they know - indeed, Yensid was another of the jaunts lost to Moebius, and their last visit was at the time the pieces of the amulet were lost. Can they make up for their past failure this time around?

Wealthy Human Industrialist: This industrialist has always had an interest in the area’s history, and their archaeological team has unearthed two thirds of an ancient amulet and a gargoyle statue in pristine condition. But it’s not like they expected or planned on this to happen, right?

Royal Descendant: The descendant of the king who fell into a mysterious slumber a thousand years ago, this human is a historian fascinated by the lore of Yensid. They’ve been working on an archaeological dig that unearthed several fascinating artifacts--and a possible mystery.

Forest Foundling: Twenty years ago, this human child wandered into the Forest Folk’s enclave and was never seen nor heard from again. The Forest Folk raised them as their own, but now that they’re an adult, they have some serious choices to make.

Forest Elder: This leader of the Forest Folk has seen and done a great deal in their time. Their fur may be graying, but their wits are as sharp as ever.

Forest Youngling: This young member of the Forest Folk grows tired of staying within the boundaries of their forest and yearns to know of the world outside.

Stonefolk Shaman: One of the advisors to the leader of the remaining group of Stonefolk, this Stonefolk is working tirelessly to use the Stonefolk's fragment of the amulet to keep their people alive.

Stonefolk Leader: This leader is just trying to keep their people from turning into statues and will not rest until the Stonefolk are in a better position.

Stonefolk Transplant: The humans thought this was merely a statue, but with the magic of the land starting to reawaken, they've been proven very, very wrong. At least this Stonefolk is taking it well.
