Cheliax: Living World

[JM2099]

Cheliax was a land of marble facades and iron chains, where every street corner bore both the grandeur of empire and the whisper of the lash. In the capital, Egorian’s spires cut into the heavens like knives, as though daring the gods themselves to object. Over it all loomed the velvet shadow of House Thrune—its banners a crimson warning, its throne propped up by infernal bargains inked in blood. Citizens walked with eyes downcast not merely from fear, but from the weight of centuries under the watch of Asmodeus’s faithful.

Yet in the taverns where candles guttered low, in the hidden cellars beneath honest shops, and in the forests that still remembered freedom’s breath, the ember of defiance survived. Adventurers—some scions of noble houses ruined by Thrune’s reign, others former soldiers weary of obeying devils—found themselves drawn together not merely for gold or glory, but to unmake the chains that bound their homeland.

Still, the rebels held to a vision: a Cheliax where laws served the living, not the pit-born, and where the sun might rise on a people unafraid to greet its light. The rebellion’s goals were not born from naivety—they knew to break the grasp of the House was to challenge the Nine Hells themselves. But in small strikes—freeing a prisoner condemned for treason, stealing back relics of Iomedae from the vaults, sowing doubt among the Hellknights’ ranks—they carved fissures into the empire’s stony heart.

One day, their story would be told not in whispers, but in the open air, sung in the marketplaces of a free Cheliax—where the crimson banners had been cast down, and the only contracts that bound the realm were those sworn between its people, in daylight, and in trust.

So is this something we apply for or are you inviting us to a server?

Is the game being played here in the Paizo forums, or will it be hosted in discord?

In addition to the questions previously raised, I would also ask if the 2e adventure paths are going to be converted to 1e, or run in their 2e form?

I guess there is some confusion on which AP is being run? I thought it was Hell's Rebels from the description but maybe I'm wrong.

It sounded like they plan on doing multiple ones over time, starting with Council of Thieves, then doing Hell's Rebels, Hell's Vengeance, Curtain Call, Hellbreakers and finally Hell's Destiny to tell the whole tragedy of Cheliax's downfall from start to finish. Maybe including Age of Ashes as well, given a big chunk of it takes place in Kintargo...ambitious, to say the least. Which is why I'm a little skeptical despite having wanted to play Council of Thieves to completion for the better part of a decade.

It says "Play by post" in the first post.

So it does. Mea culpa. Most of the campaigns I’ve seen that use Discord tend to be live play, so I saw Discord and my brain jumped places.
