Where do the dead go when they rest? The poetic mystery of death has long been a fascination for the living. The images of warm hearths and a familial embrace are conjured for some, while others picture screaming in eternal torment at the hands of a demon. And yet, clerics have the power to pluck the dead back from that plane, thrusting them back into their mortal coils or even raising them into a state of eternal Undeath. Surely the gods would grow weary of their clerics pinching souls that rightfully belonged in their afterlife. Wouldn’t they? A partnership forged in fire and blood between musicians, artists, writers, editors, and more currently rests in your hands. The Black Ballad is a 10-chapter roleplaying campaign made alongside DiAmorte’s second album, a savage metal opera of cosmic proportions. This saga will let players decide the fate of the afterlife itself while immersing themselves in musical works focusing on loss, acceptance, and determination in the face of one’s own death. Will your campaign have the gall to challenge the will of divinity?

The world is dying. In an alternate universe where the British-founded "Itherian" empire is the world's dominating power, anyone not of pure Itherian blood is shunned and forced to live in poverty-stricken mega-cities called "Shenis" that only exist to provide power and comfort to the wealthy "Plessy" cities. All of which is enforced by the Govenrment's super-soldier program, known as: "Valkyrie". Vincent Faust the Third, a child-billionaire of Itherian blood who's the heir to the Technological-security mega-giant "T.R.U.S.T" has his life turned upside-down when his uncle Salvador incites a corporate-takeover and assassinates his father and mother, forcing the young boy to flee into the cold, harsh Sheni streets. After struggling to survive with his little brother in such a strange new world, Vincent meets Chris, a member of an anti-government mercenary organization known as "TFA" who takes him under his wing and trains him to gain the power needed to take on an empire. With the government hunting him, and his old life gone, Vincent's first chapter begins with vengeance against an oppressive regime and the family that betrayed him but will he survive long enough to even see the beginning of the coming war?
