The Depths of Ashen Peak
The mountain has begun to whisper. For centuries, Ashen Peak stood silent ā a dead volcano surrounded by black forests and forgotten ruins. Now earthquakes shake the land, voices echo from beneath the earth, and ancient stone doors appear where none existed before. Scholars fear the truth: The mountain is not a volcano. It is a prison. Something inside is waking. Drawn by fate, curiosity, or hidden destiny, you travel toward the peak and the secrets buried beneath it. Along the way you may recruit companions ā a hardened mercenary, a knowledge-obsessed scholar, a mysterious child who hears supernatural echoes, and a priest whose motives may not be what they seem. Explore ancient ruins, uncover forbidden knowledge, confront moral choices, and decide the fate of what lies beneath Ashen Peak. Will you seal it? Control it? Release it? Or walk away? ---------------- HOW TO PLAY ---------------- This adventure uses a companion system and light scripting to support progression within Ashen Peak.
