About the game
The ice is finally starting to melt. The freezing winds of the Cais Adarra are behind us now, and the Reveal Season for Whispers from the Maze is finally here. It’s time for our expeditions to move forward! The ascent through the Cais Adarra was a challenge for our expeditions, but the effort was worth it, if only to witness Kuraokami, the Ice Dragon, take flight again and soar over the highest peaks of the mountain. Their destination is now clear—the enigmatic City of Scholars—a place that might hold the answers they’re looking for and their next stop on their search for the source of the Tumult. When the expeditions get there, the city, or what is left of it, is a strange sight to behold. Only crumbling ruins remain, surrounding a colossal chasm that plunges into unfathomable darkness. While a part of our expeditions establishes a settlement on the surface, the other begins its descent to discover an enigmatic labyrinth in the city’s depths. Many treasures may lie within those ancient halls, but be careful not to delve too far—some things are better left in the dark.
