About this adventure

Generations after the Great Collapse, humanity clings to existence in isolated settlements scattered across a vast, irradiated desert known as the Glow. Travel between these oases of life is conducted by rugged caravans, braving radiation, mutated creatures, and ruthless bandits. Now, a new nightmare has emerged: the Grey Cough, a fast-acting pulmonary plague that has gripped the town of Hope's End. The only hope is a shipment of antiserum manufactured in a distant pre-Collapse vault. You are part of the caravan tasked with escorting this priceless cargo across hundreds of miles of deadly wasteland. The central conflict is not just against the environment and raiders, but against time itself—every delay means more deaths in Hope's End, and the bandit king Grudge has learned of the shipment and wants it for himself. Moral dilemmas abound: do you risk the main road for speed, or take safer, slower routes? Do you help other survivors you meet, potentially expending precious resources? The journey will test the limits of your endurance, your loyalties, and your humanity.

Prologue

The world died in fire and silence. Now, the sun bleaches bones on dunes of irradiated glass. What remains of humanity huddles in scattered settlements, clinging to life. But a new scourge has emerged, a plague that turns lungs to dust. In an isolated town, they are dying. Your caravan carries the last shipment of antiserum from distant vaults. The journey is hundreds of miles across a desert where the air burns and mutated things hunt. Bandits stalk the trade routes, preying on the desperate. You must get the medicine through. Fail, and the town becomes just another ghost town.
