Perpetua Prelude 01

Friends at the Table
About this episode

A CLOCK STRIKES. A BELL RINGS.

Welcome to Perpetua: Prelude, a short, six episode prologue to Perpetua, our next full season of Friends at the Table. For Perpetua proper, we’ll be playing Fabula Ultima, following two groups of unlikely heroes as they investigate ancient mysteries, confront rivals and villains, and grow together as friends and allies. 

But first… we have to set the stage and build the world—or at least some of it. So, we’re kicking things off with Cartograph: Atlas Edition to help us bring the world of Perpetua to life. Today, we create our characters and prepare to head across the sea to adventure and discovery…
