The citizens of Myriada are many, and among them are thousands who are unhappy with their lot in life. Too much toil, too much drudgery, and too little ale to numb the pain - but, a lucky few might find an escape from the oppressive life among the city's tiers and stifling hierarchical structure.

For there is a whole world yet to explore, beyond the lantern line - out there... in the Shadowdark!
