The Vault of the Drowned Sun

For nearly four hundred years, explorers have searched for the legendary Vault of the Drowned Sun, the hidden treasury of Emperor Aurelian Veyr. According to legend, the Vault contains mountains of imperial gold, magical relics gathered from conquered kingdoms, and the emperor's greatest treasure: the Heart of Aurelion, an artifact said to grant its bearer command over the ancient magic beneath the world. Thousands have searched. None have found it. You are a wandering sorcerer, trained in dangerous arcane magic and possessing a talent for deciphering magical relics. Recently, a dying antiquarian left you something thought lost forever: A fragment of the Astral Compass, an enchanted device created by the emperor's personal cartographer. Unfortunately, you are not the only person searching for the treasure. Mercenaries, scholars, thieves, cultists, nobles, and rival treasure hunters are already following the same trail. Some want the treasure. Others want something buried inside the Vault to remain buried forever. And something ancient has begun awakening beneath the earth.
