Windtracer Tales Introduction and Season List

An introduction to the Windtracer Tales and the adventures of the Windtracer Company

Concerning History

---

For generations, the Ancient Order unified the world, bringing prosperity like never before seen. Then, it was gone. Swept away by what some call The Great Collapse.

After a thousand years, we still don’t know what happened.

But there are clues. Hints. Pieces to the greatest puzzle in history in ruins of the Ancient Order. Remnants of their greatest works.

There are many that debate if the knowledge of the Ancient Order should be rekindled. Its former glory restored to life. Others argue that the Ancient Order’s legacy should remain lost. Some even suggest that the Collapse may still be happening now. Certainly, the magic storms and other wild magics that scour the world suggest that something dire lingers from the disaster.

But there are guilds that look to preserve the lost knowledge. The Windtracer Company is one of those organizations that seek to preserve the knowledge of the Ancients. These mercenary-historians scour the forgotten corners of Awldor, into restricted ruins and the dark places. They explore, learn, and share what they find.

They collect this knowledge so that others can learn from the past. Not to rekindle the old Order, but to build something new… while not repeating whatever dire mistake the Ancient Order made.

In the end, the Windtracers hope to decipher why the Great Collapse happened. Through that, perhaps a way to prevent it from happening again.

Race Against Time and Terrors!

A chance discovery of an old journal propels Windtracer Tela Kioni into an expedition to the depths of the Great Chasm on the far end of the Planus continent to recover a lost, and possibly lethal, relic of the Ancient Order.

It’s a race against time and the bloodthirsty Crimson Company mercenary guild to reach the relic first. Along the way, Tela will have to deal with the terrors, and her own nightmares, of the Great Chasm and the mysterious backer of the Crimson Company, a man who seeks to rebuild the Ancient Order, no matter the deadly cost.

Dire Debts in a Deadly Land!

An old debt sends Tela Kioni and her companions, Kiyosi Valchar, and Mikasi Zenia, to the Kingdom of Jata after an ancient religious relic thought lost for centuries. This relic, if in the wrong hands, could ignite the fires of conquest that would bring the kingdom to its knees. Worse yet, it could restart ancient war machines, still looking to finish a war no one remembers.

Into this mix comes a collection of deadly thieves, morally light nobility, and zealots trying to bring about a mass murder on a grand scale. Tela will need to navigate this, and keep her companions alive, while getting this relic back into the right hands… once she figures out who that is!

Windtracer Tales is a work of pure, unashamed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather fancy and quite proud of itself. Names of characters, places, events, organizations and locations are all creations of the author’s imagination for this fictitious setting. Any resemblance to persons living, dead, or reanimated is coincidental. The opinions expressed are those of the characters and should not be confused with the author’s, since the characters and the author tend to disagree a lot. 

Also! Windtracer Tales and Windtracer: Adventures in Awldor is written with much respect to Starfarertheta and their work on the other half of Awldor.
