Murder in Arabel: Meet Moonlight

You’re a former scholar and knight of a little-known order devoted to the moon goddess. Sworn to eradicate undead, hunt necromancers, and protect life in all forms, your path was shaped by tragedy.

Raised in a peaceful woodland hamlet, your idyllic childhood ended on a cold, misty night when a necromancer's raid tore your family apart. Your parents were taken—never seen again.

Now, in the heart of a great city, whispers of undead stir once more. A curfew has fallen. Streets lie deserted, haunted by eerie silence, bitter winds, and shadows that move where they shouldn’t.

The presence of undead in such an urban place points to a necromancer—but why risk the watchful eyes of adventurers and city guards? Why settle in a place with so few corpses to fuel their magic?

You don’t know yet. But one thing is certain: you won’t rest until the city is cleansed of this growing rot.

Ortega-Namir. Gifted fiery powers by an efreeti, you arrive in Arabel to avenge your murdered cousins—only to uncover a chilling conspiracy and secrets that could burn far deeper than grief.

Dawa. You found hope in Arabel—then lost everything. Now, with your brother and friend dead, only vengeance remains. The real killers are still out there—and you'll stop at nothing to find them.

Gormon. You charm nobles while picking their pockets—but when corrupt guards rob the woman you call family, your tricks must serve a greater cause. You’ve got four days to save her from ruin.

Yurkash. Once exiled for your strange looks, you return to Arabel to stop a rampaging werewolf. But the city still hates your kind—and your past won't stay buried for long.

Swaying Dandelion. Trained by monk-mages to recover lost relics, you now seek forbidden artifacts stolen by a warlock. With a holy knight at your side, your pilgrimage could end in glory—or tragedy.
