The White Rose

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
- Robert Frost

The world is a cold, dead place that is completely covered with barren wastelands that are littered with the bones of forgotten warriors and the remains of once great wryms. Among this hopeless land lie the last remnants of civilization, The Community. But that is going to change very soon, unless someone -- perhaps you -- stops the chaotic forces that are brewing -- preparing to destroy the little hope that remains in this world.

The White Rose is a story-driven module for 1st level characters. This module offers 3-4 hours of gameplay and should take your character up to either 5 or 6.

There are two companions, one is required and the other is optional. The first one, Tojun, will give you the choice to level him up as either a wizard or barbarian. Due to the nature of the setting you will not be allow to play a cleric or paladin. Druids and Rangers harness their power from the forces of nature.

The White Rose makes use of resting restrictions. As you travel across the tundra you will need to search for shelter to rest at. (A random cave for example.)

Features:

• A new and unique setting for your character to roleplay in.
• An exciting story filled with twist and turns.
• 2 companions with their own thoughts, motivations, and backgrounds.
• 3-4 hours of gameplay.
• Custom loadscreens tailored specifically for The White Rose.
• Two minutes worth of excellent music written by MaestroRage.
• A resting system that adds to the survivalist atmosphere and forces you to manage your resources wisely.
