INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
of Duke Bardorba of Valendia
Kingdom was seized by a cult of
religious fanatics known as
M
ü
llenkamp. Although several innocents
were murdered, news of the incident was
suppressed, and Sydney Losstarot, the leader
of M
ü
llenkamp, has not been seen since.
Lea Monde, now a shell of its former glory,
housed more than 5,000 people during the
Golden Age. Its prosperity ended 25 years
ago when a powerful earthquake struck
the city.

High tidal waters rushed in to fill the rift in
the earth left by the earthquake, cutting the
city off from the outside world. Above the
waters, the land shifted and twisted, losing
much of its former shape. Beneath the city,
where monks had once worked the stone
into chambers and passageways, the vast,
labyrinthine tomb became a home for the
souls of the dead.
OPEN button
Duke Bardorba was away during the seizure
of the manor and escaped the atrocities.
Yet one week later, an unknown assailant
took the duke’s life. Riskbreaker Ashley
Riot, a member of the Valendia Knights of
the Peace (VKP) entrusted with breaking
the cultists’ hold on the manor, was named
as a suspect at a meeting of Parliament.
He disappeared shortly after the accusation.

Name: Ashley Riot
Age: late

Height: 6'0''
Association: VKP (Valendia Knights of the
Peace) Riskbreaker Militia
Name: Romeo Guildenstern
Age:
34
Height: 5'11''
Association: Knights of the Cross
Leader of the “Crimson Blades”
—
Knights of the Cross, a military order
under the direct control of the cardinal.
Although every bit a knight of elegance and breeding, Romeo can be utterly
cold-blooded, never hesitating in the name of justice for the kingdom.
He led the Knights of the Cross during the incident at Duke Bardorba’s manor and
led the effort to suppress the riots that ensued. Why the cardinal’s Knights of the Cross
became involved despite having received no orders to do so remains a mystery.
After graduating as valedictorian from the VKP Academy, Ashley
worked as an elite soldier. Following the tragic death of his wife and
child at the hands of a ruffian, he transferred to the Dangerous
Criminal Task Force, a.k.a. “Riskbreaker,” the most danger-ridden post
in the VKP, where he remains today.
Riskbreakers conduct their investigations alone, infiltrating into and investigating
foreign crime syndicates. Many lose their lives during their assignments; the
survival rate stands at less than 30 percent. Ashley, maintaining his calm in all
situations, has succeeded in mission after mission.
When Müllenkamp cultists entered the Graylands and seized Bardorba’s
manor, a chain of events was set into motion, ending with the
assassination of Duke Bardorba. Ashley’s involvement in the intrigues
at the manor makes him a prime suspect in the duke’s assassination.
A Riskbreaker with a tragic past, Ashley must now face an uncertain
future. Only his efforts can reveal the truth and clear his name.
Name: Sydney Losstarot
Age: Unknown (late
20
s
?
)
Height: 5'10''
Association: M
ü
llenkamp
Leader of a cult that worships the ancient priestess Müllenkamp. Sydney is a self-
professed prophet who preaches about human weaknesses and the end of the world.
Sydney can precisely describe the past of those he meets, and it is rumored that he can
manipulate others at his will. His charisma has attracted a zealous following prompting
Parliament to declare the Müllenkamp cult a threat to state security.
After masterminding the seizure of the Bardorba Manor in the Graylands, Sydney held
the duke’s family and servants hostage in exchange for the release of his followers,
but it seems that his true intent lay elsewhere.
Riskbreaker Ashley Riot encounters Sydney seemingly by chance during his
mission, but their meeting was ordained by fate.
