The ruins of an ancient citadel have been discovered, and with it, rumors of a powerful artifact lie hidden inside. Numerous groups have sent adventurers to search for the artifact, but none have returned. Zenkoh a Gnoll, a humanoid hyena-like creature, and Maria the Catfolk, a catlike creature that walks upright, have been adventuring together for nearly a year. Both of them have done something they regret in their past and travel around as adventurers helping others to try to make up for what they did. This is made difficult for Zenkoh as most of the other races see Gnolls as nothing more than savage beasts, causing others to eye her warily and treat her with caution whenever she comes near a settlement. This is due to most of the other Gnoll clans being openly hostile to the non-Gnoll races. During all of her time adventuring Zenkoh has had worries that there isn't any way for her to change how the other races view Gnolls as a whole. Join Zenkoh and Maria in an adventure across the land of Gnossalia while they go on an adventure you won't want to put down.
