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. Become a unique character with traits and skills that tell stories of high adventure. The Skills Handout for Akkadian Rhythms outlines the many skills that players may choose from when creating their character and provides insight on how to best use them to tell a shared narrative.
