From publisher blurb: The world as you know it has been warped and twisted. The Greeks never rose, the Romans never conquered. Ancient magic and mysterious forces rule the world, giving the Akkadian empire the fertile soil to stand strong through time. As time crawls forward, more wonderous powers are released with every passing epoch. The thirst for magic of the people unleashes strange and wonderous sights onto the world. Now the world has reached a dark age. The Akkadian realm becomes weak to the spirit plane. The dead escape the nether. The deities of ancient legend stay locked in their heavens. Mysterious forces gain a life of their own and reign over the people. It is a time for adventure. Join into the world of Akkadian Rhythms. This Player Handout will walk you through character creation, begin their epic poem, and guide players on how to interact with the game world through characters.
