The Jewel of the Wasted Glades: A Tale from Morzania

Once upon a time, Juliana was a happy mage girl living in a small village in the Glades of Morzania. Then the King fell and the Obsidian Knights tore through her homeland, scorching the trees and burning the houses. When a Slave Trader found her and forced her into service using a rune crafted from blood magic, she gave up all hope at ever being happy again. One night, while camping near an oasis in a desert that never felt like home, the Dire Slave Trading group receive orders to kill a group of refugees traveling through the dunes. Godfrey, the leader of the burly group, sends Juliana to complete the task. What she finds when she reaches the refugees, however, is an adventure she never imagined as she's thrust into a quest for the rightful ruler of Morzania and is promised freedom in exchange for her help. The potion the prince seeks might be a myth, but Juliana would rather search the desert for phantoms then return to the Dires. The restless undead and necro runes discovered on the way should have warned her that there was more to the Legend of Farren's Potion then the stories told.
