Tora no Senaka - The Back of the Tiger (Inactive)

Game Master Dreaming Warforged

Trouble with Goblins can lead to a lot of places, even the other side of the world...
Jade Regent AP, now in volume 3 - The Hungry Storm


As a goblin threat is dealt with, an old secret is exposed and a close friend discovers she is meant to rule the empire of Minkai, one of the ancient Dragon Empires of Tian Xia.

Claiming her birthright promises to be no small feat though, as the throne is already held by a powerful foe, the Jade Regent, but first she needs to get there, and for that alone will need the help of friends and allies, for she must cross from Varisia to Tian Xia, across the very Crown of the World.
