Description

Long ago, the Doom was sealed away by a mighty hero wielding the legendary Doom Sword. The sealing of the Doom ushered in an era of peace and prosperity. Art, culture, and magic flourished throughout the land. All this time, the Doom Sword lay dormant, guarded by the Doom Ward.

This time of peace may be about to come to an end. The diviners have spoken; they say the seal upon the Doom has weakened, and the Doom soon will be unleashed. Unless. Unless the seal can be strengthened by a willing sacrifice upon the blade of the Doom Sword.

A random assortment of people have been chosen by lot to contemplate the Doom Sword. The hour draws nigh. At the end of this hour, one person must throw themself upon the Doom Sword, taking their place alongside the mighty hero of old and sacrificing their life to save us all. The rest will be left to mourn and contemplate what might have been.
