The second adventure, “Coal Brow” is the slow-burning unraveling of a motley community under pressure—where fear takes root as the road turns dark, and no guiding light remains. The road winds north—through lush forest, misted clearings, wild splendor, and foreboding shadow. With their last job barely behind them, Hellion and Azazel fall in with a caravan of colorful strangers, all bound for the town of Durchdenwald, hoping for a quiet trip. But when one of the group is murdered, the journey unravels into mistrust, conflict, and something other still—waiting in the trees. As fear takes hold and travelers begin to vanish, the group must ask themselves what they dread more: the creature in the woods, or the ones still sitting beside them.

In the sprawling, neon-lit depths of Saer-Eh, where the powerful shape reality with their Icons, Donovan is nothing more than a fearful, forgotten boy. A runaway from the upper-middle-class Coffers district, he’s spent his life cowering from conflict, his only anchor being his mother—until she disappears, and the world comes crashing down. Plagued by whispers that aren’t his own, haunted by a strength he never wielded, Donovan is thrust into the city’s underworld—a labyrinth of corrupt Enforcers, merciless crime lords, and ancient faiths vying for dominion. With no training, no wealth, and nothing but a fading resolve, he’s given a choice: confront his own fear and learn to wield the strength beneath the surface, or be consumed by it. This city does not reward the weak, it does not coddle the scared. But what if fear is the flame that tempers the blade of strength? What if cowardice is but the precursor to glory?

Devon was your typical office drone—exhausted, disheveled, and worn down by the grind. Dark bags hung beneath his eyes, his hair always unkempt, and his clothes perpetually wrinkled. He was a walking mess, the embodiment of burnout. But the soul-crushing workload wasn’t the worst of it. Devon was mocked by his coworkers, dismissed, ignored—as if he didn’t even exist. What was he supposed to do? “Just stick this out. Jobs are hard to find these days,” his frail mother had whispered from her hospital bed, her voice barely more than a breath. And so, he kept going. Not out of hope, but out of obligation. Then one day, while waiting at the train stop, Devon received a phone call. His mother—his last living relative—had passed away that evening. But Devon didn’t cry. He didn’t collapse or scream at the heavens in grief. Instead, his eyes grew darker, colder than ever before. Because now… there was no one left to stop him. Stop him from what? From quitting his job? Maybe. But then a darker thought crept in. “Hmmm… why not end it all?” *Company Countdown*
