18.4 NOVICE INTRODUCTION
All adventurers begin in Lusternia by stepping through the Portal of Fate. Going through the portal is akin to being marked for potential greatness as the Fates revise reality around you--which has the side effect of losing your memory. From there, your journey begins. Will you recover your lost memory? Find family or friends? And, most importantly, how have you truly been marked by the Fates? This introduction is the roleplaying scenario which justifies why a fully grown adult (you) has entered the realm not really knowing much about his or her history, the world around, or perhaps even how to do basics like finding food or navigating a supposedly familiar city. Once you have finished the intro and stepped through the Portal of Fate, you will be given a series of prompts for what to do next. Make sure to carefully read and follow the prompts!
