Quirin Mythology #2:
Come to the world, where mortals created and became gods, where the Long Night powers orcs and undead and where ruins of a glorious past let deities fear for their existence. A world of enigmatic NPCs: from the Ancients, over the mythical Sirison and the Guardian of Simit to a being of unknown age and power, the Quirin.
Let the characters become a part of your own Quirin Saga. Look out for the independent "Quirin Mythology" series. Every issue can be used in your campaign world. Feel free to adapt the material presented here as you see fit to make it work with your campaign.
