The Living Arcanis schedule is designed to allow established characters to play all three Hard Points (LA-HP) and the Soft Point (LA-SP) before playing the Living Arcanis Battle Interactive. It also will permit new players to play all three introductory adventures (LA-Intro) and still be able to play the Battle Interactive.

LA-HP4-01: The Banished

A long-missing ally reappears in the unlikeliest of places, bearing information that will send a group of adventurers to the very edges of the Known Lands and beyond on a quest to wrest an ancient relic from the clutches of a mysterious group known only as The Banished. It is recommended that LA-HP4-01 be played before LA-HP4-02 and LA-HP4-03. Supports APL 7-15 (6th-16th level characters).

LA-HP4-02: For I Spy Naught But Ruin and Woe

With the Coryani Civil War ripping the Empire apart, the true victims are the poorer towns and villages who count on the protection of mighty Legions that are no longer there. Faced with an implacable evil, must they now submit to a new master? It is recommended that LA-HP4-02 be played after LA-HP4-01 and before LA-HP4-03. Supports APL 7-15 (6th-16th level characters).

LA-HP4-03: The Sacrifice of Generations

What begins as a rescue mission for your patron quickly becomes much more crucial as the stars begin to align and Larissa's Web of Fate draws disparate forces together for a bloody confrontation that can only end in final death. It is recommended that LA-HP4-03 be played after LA-HP4-01 and after LA-HP4-02. Supports APL 7-15 (6th-16th level characters).

LA-Intro-01: Taboo

A Nawal of the Yhing Hir calls upon a group of travels to retrieve the body of his dead son from a place where no Horseman may ride. Supports APL 1 and 2 (1st and 2nd level characters only). Intended as an introduction to Living Arcanis; pre-generated characters are available.

LA-Intro-02: One Night in Coryan

In a move unprecedented in the history of Coryani politics, Pollux Pulcher val'Assante forsook his Val family name and all his rights and privileges thereto. Instead, he married into the Gracchi family, perhaps the most powerful human family in the Empire. The newly-minted Pollux Pulcher Gracchi now seeks to become the leader of the Plebian Assembly, second in power only to the Coryani Senate and the Emperor himself. Of course, the only way business gets done in the Assembly is through the tireless efforts of a legion of pages, who carry messages, perform errands, and clean up "messes" of all sorts. Your new job as one of Pollux's pages should be quite interesting indeed. Intended as an introduction to Living Arcanis; pre-generated characters are available. Supports APL 1 through 5 (1st through 6th level characters).

LA-Intro-03 Duty and Justice

There are many rules of law civilizations live under. The law of nations, the laws of common kindness and decency, the laws of the gods: all these and more govern our lives. Sometimes these laws must by necessity contradict each other for the general welfare of all. When the sanctity of life and soul are involved, which law must take precedence? This choice is placed into the heroes' hands. Is mercy a crime, even when it can be considered treason? This LIVING ARCANIS INTRODUCTORY adventure is designed for 1st to 5th level characters (APL 1 through 5). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.

LA-SP4-19: Where the Ghost of Legend Lies

Censure is rife with ancient myths and tales of great deeds, through which mortals transcend into legend. Though these heroes fade and are delivered unto the rot of Neroth's bosom, the saga of their famous exploits remains an eternal legacy. But some legends are best left to die in silence, lest their legacy turn into a tale of living sorrow. APL 1-9 (1st through 10th level characters). Not a sequel to any other module.

Living Arcanis BI: Catechism - The Battle for Solanos Mor

Although there have been no direct confrontations between the Loyalists and the Rebels since the struggle for Enpebyn some six months ago, both sides would agree that the Coryani Civil War continues unabated. The rogue General Menisis val'Tensen and self-proclaimed Patriarch-In-Exile Morushun val'Ishi continue to assert their independence and have vowed to unseat Holy Emperor Calcestus val'Assante or die trying. Calcestus still commands most of the Legions and holds the vast majority of the Empire's territory, but the number of rebellious provinces is growing and things must soon reach a tipping point. Now word has come that a true artifact of Illiir, Father of the Gods, has been discovered within the Dwarven Enclave of Solanos Mor. A combat-intensive Battle Interactive for characters of all levels (APL 2-17).

Living Arcanis LARP: A Night in King Osric's Court

It is the anniversary of King Osric's ascension to the throne of Milandir. As custom holds, anyone from commoner to noble may approach the King directly with any grievance or petition he may have. What is supposed to be a time of reconciliation and vindication of Osric's right to lead his country may instead undermine the young King's rule, as events within and without may prove too treacherous for Osric to navigate. A highly roleplaying-intensive LARP for characters of all levels.
