Barsaive in Chaos is a campaign supplement for Earthdawn Second Edition,
detailing six significant events that span the year after the fall of
Vivane, outlining an epic-style campaign. Each event can also stand alone
to form a mini-campaign or can be used in any combination. Barsaive in
Chaos is intended for characters of Second Circle and above, of any
Discipline.
The power of the Theran empire, once so prominent in Barsaive, has been
greatly diminished. With the fall of Vivane, the balance of power has
tilted, but the peace that should have followed such a monumental victory
is threatened even before it can be born. Great forces were revealed and
brought to bear during the Second Battle of Sky Point, and the aftermath
still shakes the very foundation of Barsaive.
- Includes revisions of two Disciplines, the Horror Stalker and the
obsidiman Purifier, for Earthdawn Second Edition.
- Includes revisions of the secret society of adventurers known as the
Lightbearers for Earthdawn Second Edition.
- The ork nation of Cara Fahd sustained heavy losses in the war; more so
than many other peoples. The undead of Vivane continue to plauge its
borders, and High Chief Krathis Gron struggles to keep her fledgling state
united in the wake of war...
- Determined to bring war to the Horrors, one Horror Stalker begins to
unite those willing to fight together for a common cause -- the cleansing
of the ruined dwarf kingdom of Scythia. A crusade of Horror Stalkers
gathers to his banner, and an old and long fight escalates...
- During the war, Iopos laid claim to the city of Jerris. Now, Gellad
Denairastas, placed in control of Jerris by his malevolent patriarch Uhl,
begins to bend the city to his will, performing dark experiments to further
the Iopan agenda. However, there are still Name-givers in Jerris fighting
to free themselves and their city, and tensions begin to mount...
- Twiceborn, self-proclaimed Queen of the Undead, has heard of the undead
of Vivane. To make true her claim of monarchy, she uproots her forces from
Parlainth, and begins a long march across Barsaive, heading towards the
ruins of the second fallen Theran capital...
- Unfortunately, the undead were not all that have emerged from Vivane. The
Horror Clouds still sweep across the lands of Barsaive. One, in
particular, begins to move, almost with a purpose, towards the shining city
of Travar...
- Not long after returning home from the battlefield, King Neden of Throal
withdrew from the public eye. Throal, still unsteady from the losses of
the war and the change in its monarchy, begins to falter, doubting the
strength of the young king. Rumors fly, and conspirators meet in dark
places, plotting dark deeds...
