The Mortal Path
by TMP Cast
Mostly set in the homebrew world Alfallen where magic is uncommon among the masses and the cogs and gears of technology are starting to clank into life, The Mortal Path follows three very unlikely “heroes” on their wild and thrilling journey through new lands. We also play a multitude of systems both in our world and outside of it!
