Will you succeed in fulfilling the prophesy or will you simply be a hapless adventurer already with finances in the negative on Day 90, begging and scrounging around the entirety of Pendor for coin to pay your 100 Hero Adventurers or to maintain your crumbling microstate?
They only await the arrival of the prophesied Hero/Heroine of Madigan who will unify the land and restore much needed peace and prosperity to Pendor. A land rife with conflict: its people having been made to endure centuries of disease, injustice, war, death, and destruction.
I have always been touched by PoP's premise.
