From the introduction: There are many rules of law civilizations live under. The law of nations, the laws of common kindness and decency, the laws of the gods: all these and more govern our lives. Sometimes these laws must by necessity contradict each other for the general welfare of all. When the sanctity of life and soul are involved, which law must take precedence? This choice is placed into the heroes' hands. Is mercy a crime, even when it can be considered treason? This LIVING ARCANIS INTRODUCTORY adventure is designed for 1st to 5th level characters (APL 1 through 5).
