Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
An enormous role-playing adventure begins with someone helping a groggy stranger stand up. Jiub's ordinary concern gives the unfamiliar world a human scale before names, factions and prophecies arrive. For returning players, the question also signals another character and another journey.
