Chapter 0: Prologue

This is a quick prologue that pretty much describes my world of Chobos, the setting for The Hearthfire Society: Tales in the Dark.

Chobos is a world that's currently going through an interesting time. Magic has been at the forefront of the world for centuries, but as of late, there has been a rise in technology. As a matter of fact, there have been mag-tech and a rare type of mag-tech called SRC-Tech, technology embedded with source magic. You'll find SRC-Tech in the first chapter through the Luitarra, a lute that changes its appearance, sound, and even powers through a magical piece of Source Magic. Source Magic has been a type of magic unknown to most and different types of it have been documented throughout Chobos.

Mag-tech is common throughout Chobos but often has a singular function. SRC-Tech has the capabilities to achieve wilder and far greater than that. You'll also find other items like the Luitarra throughout the story.

Even though the whole story will encompass most of Chobos, it begins in the continent of Discordia, a place where might, music, and magic mix with its people. Our group of heroes have been at Level 5, currently travelling back home after a tense mission. Recovering some key scrolls from an ancient, evil cult led by a Vampire Spawn, our heroes struggled but overcame the odds. Through the heavy, electric guitar-like tunes emitting from the Luitarra, our heroes start to see something warm and familiar on the horizon...

Enjoy. :)

P.S.: SRC-Tech is pronounced 'Source-Tech' if y'all might like to know.
