A cold, relentless rain sheens the alloy and ferrocrete of Gloomhaven, a vast urban sprawl where neon bleeds across the low-hanging clouds. The atmosphere thrums with the ceaseless whir of lev-transport and the far-off percussion of industrial plants. A solitary form waits at a pedestrian crossing, observing the tide of bodies—some draped in opulent synth-silks, others dragging the literal chains of indenture. The city exhales around you, utterly apathetic. you, this world exists to pulverize hope into nothing. What draws you into its heart this evening?
