The city-states of Iblydos rule an archipelago steeped in mythic power, legendary beasts, and ancient history. Yet the region suffers; the myth-speaking rites that elevate great heroes into mortal demigods are failing, with few of the hero-gods surviving to guide their people and grant magic. All of this changes when a god's death awakens a forgotten source of mythic potential, transforming the player characters into the first new hero-gods in recent memory. But what is this mythic power, and will it revitalize Iblydos or doom it entirely?
The port of Bailax hosts lavish funeral games for a recently deceased hero, inviting visitors and locals alike to compete for prizes and glory. However, an ominous meteor crashes nearby and interrupts the festivities. What the adventurers find there won't just transform them into mythic hero-gods, but also will incite Bailax to violent revelry and arson. Can the new hero-gods stop the city from self-destruction?
