In 1433 Prague, our coterie of vampires receives a summons to an ominous meeting at Millie’s Tavern. The city’s Seneschal reveals the shocking death of Elder Radimier Pavlovich, a Tzimisce with potent connections, sparking fears of political upheaval reminiscent of a past rebellion. Tasked with uncovering the truth or avenging the elder’s murder, the group delves into the dark streets of Prague and confronts supernatural dangers lurking in shadows. Their investigation leads them through hushed districts and eerie quarters, from a vacant haven marked by mysterious occult symbols to relics dripping with ancient blood and power.
As they peel back layers of secrets, they encounter remnants of powerful blood rituals, a missing tome of dark magic, and a statue with ties to an earlier purge. Between gathering insights from forbidden scrolls and consulting arcane sigils, they find traces of an elusive courier, figures linked to the elder’s death, and whispers of an uprising among Hussite rebels.
Mystic visions, otherworldly portals, and clues etched in esoteric languages all lead the party deeper into a tangled web of political rivalries, ancient blood feuds, and a sinister conspiracy. The investigation promises not only a fight for survival but a path that risks exposing them to their own darkest desires and fears. The question remains—can they unravel the truth before they too are drawn into the abyss? <br/><br/><a href="https://avorial.substack.com/s/ashes-of-ages?utm_medium=podcast">avorial.substack.com</a>
