The Rosenthorne Court Incident
Lord Markus Tatarmoff, third Baron Brooverton, summons his sons Trevor and Gaby, family-connected rogue Baby Yeatfield, and young noble Lord Giles Darrington to Rosenthorne Court for the unveiling of Project Sunrise: an unprecedented permanent bridge to another prime plane. The demonstration is sabotaged—assassins strike, Markus dies in the ruined observatory, and Lady Estera and five-year-old Medina vanish through the planar catastrophe.
The family's murder investigation becomes a succession crisis, a conspiracy around Project Sunrise, and a rescue war on Naa, a prime plane moving opposite through time. Allied with Naa's resistance, the party raids Nardic temples, frees abductees, captures living skyships, kills the parasitic Nardic Queen, rescues Medina, and returns with refugees before destroying the bridge. Salmaya Nordithis then attacks Rosenthorne; Carrick Cinderforge and Trevor die, Baby kills Salmaya, Gaby inherits the barony, and Drankov is rebuilt as a diverse refugee settlement while Louisa's GRE loyalties remain an unresolved geopolitical threat.
