The Muse of Chateauclair

An elven soldier returned from the war against the central powers of gildas and their hobgoblin allies with something broken inside him.

In the trenches, he glimpsed a being of impossible beauty - an ancient worshipped by the hobgoblins before their fall from grace. The sight broke his mind.

Since his return to Chateauclair, he has written without rest.

Different books. Different genres. Different names on every cover.

Now the author sits trapped at his desk in a house in Chateauclair, filling page after page with inspired ink. The stories around him have begun pulling people inside.

Six adventurers have been sent to investigate by the Vemico organization.

This will be a collaborative adventure run by JK and Noblegun as co-GMs. The party will enter the author’s studio together, but the strange books within will divide them between two completely different stories.

Each GM will run a separate interpretation of the same map, shaped by the genre of the book the characters enter. One group may find itself trapped in an aggressive hopepunk nightmare or a love story, or a cookbook, or some other tale. 

The groups must fully live through their stories, escape the books, and reunite before the author’s jealous muse returns to give him one final idea.
