Earthdawn 4th Edition Mystic Paths Cover Image

The Adept's Journey: Mystic Paths

For all the power at their fingertips, the adept's journey is not an easy one. They can change the world with it. They can shape what is around them. They are the light in the darkness. However, there is responsibility in that power. Despite what they have in common, each adept's journey is unique and how they choose to wield their power shapes their perspective.

It's always best to bring friends. Adepts gathered together for a common cause to form paths, groups dedicated to their goals. Some are organized, others anything but. Some public, others' true motivations are tightly held secrets. Through these bonds adepts find power and purpose, but they also find conflict over how to use their power and to what end. Even with like-minded followers, the adept's journey is never an easy one.

The Adept's Journey: Mystic Paths offers players new character options for those who wish to follow one of these mysterious paths. It explores their motivations, goals, and conflicts, giving characters a chance to find risk and reward alike in their new obligations. Gamemasters find new organizations to work with players, against them, or something more complicated. Rules are provided for Paths, new Disciplines, talents, talent knacks, spells, spirits, and more, ensuring there is something for nearly everyone within.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earthdawn 4th Edition Questors Cover Image

Questors

The mysterious, powerful beings known as the Passions have watched over the people of Barsaive for as long as anybody can remember. They embody the ideals that make civilization possible: Justice, freedom, love, and more.

Those who dedicate their lives to pursuing the ideals of a single Passion serve their fellow Namegivers, supporting them as they go about their daily lives. Whether itinerant or settled, they are valued members of the community, bringing the Passions’ power and inspiration to the common folk. They are Questors.

But even the Passions aren’t immune to the damage caused by the Horrors. Three of their number went insane during the Scourge, and are now dark reflections of their old ideals. And they have questors of their own.
