Synopsis

Atop Mt. Ebot, the greatest peak of all, a magnificent city of Agos sprung to life. Agos is a city like no other; a bridge between heaven and earth, where the living walk alongside the souls of the departed. People from every corner of the world ascend the treacherous mountain, longing for one fleeting moment with lost loved ones or the blessings of the goddess of light, Tunni.

But Agos has limits. Overcrowded and overwhelmed, Tunni decreed that visitors may only stay until nightfall, at which point they are cast out, only to return the next day, forming an endless, chaotic queue that spirals down the mountain. Enraged by the growing turmoil, the goddess made one final law: Each person may enter Agos only once in their lifetime.

The decree ended the daily struggle, but for many, one visit was not enough. Heartbroken and desperate, they refused to leave the mountain, founding Parmoth at its base — a settlement of dreamers, outcasts, and those who still hope the gates of Agos will one day open for them again.

You are thrown in the middle of two cities, as a humble tavern keeper who tries to help anyone who wanders in. Meet some interesting people and learn about their journey. Everybody has a reason to climb Mt. Ebot. Lend them a room, sell them equipment and food, watch as they depart and don't forget to pay for the land. Something is brewing outside the mountainside.

Characters

Bes (You)

A hobbistic blacksmith that finds joy in helping others. He used his entry to ask for a permit to build the tavern on the path to the top; the track was awfully tough, so a place to rest and socialize with other travelers was an awesome idea. After Bes got an authorization, he spent all his money on this project and fulfilled his lifelong dream - to craft and find customers.

Joane

Coming from Easteros, where a great tragedy struck her, she tries to repent for her sins and find salvation in the heavenly city. The problem is, that she isn't leaving your tavern. She always pays, but despite her strong need to go and confront those who she failed, she can't do it. The things she saw changed her forever, but don't even bother, she won't tell you. It is maybe for the best.

Belia

Your old time friend that you met on Last Chance Request in Parmoth. Her husband and daughter met a terrible fate, and only you had the heart to help a poor widow. Despite what happened to her close family, she is now a joyful person, knowing that the spirits of her relatives are living peacefully in Agos.

Avaritia

A tired angel on Tunni's orders to tax you. She may not want to do it, yet the work needs to be done - Agos needs money to defend themselves.
