The difference between good and evil is nuanced, with some using their Talents for nefarious ends and others seeing the Nightwell’s Banes as useful tools.

In a monarchy in turmoil, conflicted characters from all walks of life travel to two wells, the Well of Talents and The Nightwell, in hopes of controlling their fates with unknown powers.
