The Order of the Torch (under Grandmaster Dandachi) and the Order of the Throne (under Grandmaster Adrasta) seek skilled, reliable, and moral citizens for a joint venture to the city of Labyrinthos, deep within the False Empire. Agents have reported that the city has been put into quarantine following the presence of strange mutations, ill portents, and the sky supposedly weeping blood.

In less salubrious places, the word goes around that the organisation known as Threshold have an additional interest in this mission.
