Black Pearl Gate

God is dead and the cosmos is collapsing. The remnants cling to existence around the gate of black pearl that stands at the centre of the universe. Through it there is the final resting place of God and His creations. None who have entered have ever returned, but still people do. Some in pursuit of a way to rebuild. Some in pursuit of answers before the lights go out. Some hoping to find a new world. Some in pursuit of a better end than slowly crumbling to nothing on the near side. Now, four five last are entering, the last great warriors and sages of the heavenly city. What will they find, and what will they do?

A series of four or five sessions, inspired by Lightning Returns, D* Souls, and the Epic Level Handbook and Immortals' Handbook 3.5 supplements.
