ARTIFICIAL HEART

ARTIFICIAL HEART is the first arc of MONOLITH, focusing around the gathering of the party and their journey to recover a mysterious Sylvan artifact known as the Elysian Charm. Along the way, they quickly become tied up in a complex web of conflict between a previous employer of their own comrade, and a dark cult that lies just beneath the streets of the city, both of which are vying for control over this strange stone of healing.
