Our humble fellowship gathers at the Halls of the Dwarves in the Blue Mountains - Cota, the fierce ranger; Groin, the proud dwarf; Idril, the ethereal elf; and Griffin, the hapless hobbit. The barkeep of the local tavern sends them on a quest to find out why their last delivery of ale never showed up. Journey with them across the lands of Eriador and discover what treacheries lie on their path...

It was supposed to be an ordinary day in the shtetl...until the Lieutenant of the local regiment wound up dead in a ditch. Murdered. But by who? Ghosts, memories and blame circulate. Strange spirits intermingle with the forces of nature, as our characters struggle to reconcile this new event with their ordinary lives. War is not the only thing haunting the shtetl.

Dream Apart takes us to the shtetl, a little mostly-Jewish market town in the Eastern European countryside. In the cities, the industrial revolution has begun. Prussia, Russia and the Hapsburgs have devoured the small countries between them. Here there is war, conflict, intrigue, and the Unseen World. Join us as we create the shtetl and our characters who will inhabit it.
