Ages ago, the goblinfolk tribes of Adamah banded together to reject the politics of hierarchy, hereditary rule, and private property; each tribe pledged to manage their communal life through direct democracy, and that no one individual would ever enforce their will over another. Only the Pariah Clan protested these anarchist principles, and for their contemptible crime of selfishness, the goblin tribes banished the clan into an abyss deep below the surface of the world.
Thousands of years have passed since the goblin tribes exiled the Pariah Clan, and even the most fearless and capable goblin pathfinders still refuse to risk their lives exploring the Pariah Abyss. But when a fleet of privateers prevents seafaring passage to the continent of Vela, the maverick scholar Zeljo Kane must venture through the Pariah Abyss. Accompanied by his sister, the expert pathfinder Kraz, and his orphan apprentice, Annez, Kane will come face to face with the Pariah Clan and the tyrannical society they have built to survive the hardships of the abyss. But do the goblinfolk histories tell the truth, or is there more to the story of the Pariah Clan’s banishment?
Through the Pariah Abyss is the first part of The Golem-Maker’s Grimoire, a role-playing game set in the high fantasy world of Adamah. A developer Let's Play is available on the Polaris Spirit Studios YouTube Page.
