conversations.value: Chief Mardic Corstone assured the Deva Tribe that the clouds of smoke billowing from Demon Peak were nothing to worry over. Even as thick ash eventually spewed from the mouth of the peak, he ordered them not to leave. Due to his incompetence and selfishness, the once proud Deva Tribe was consumed by lava and ash, nothing of their former city remaining.
  
  The few survivors, a sullen group of battered refugees, must find a way to survive.
  
  ===
  
  Welcome, potential players. Through Fire Forged is a game about survival and adaptation. Your characters will have to leave what used to be a great nation and start anew—whether by joining a tribe or establishing their own. As such, I want some really solid backstories. I have a bunch of Nature cards up for grabs. If you want to make your own, keep it in the same vein. Strengths, Weaknesses and Subplots are all yours, though I have plenty of standard ones for you to choose from.
  
  If you discover this game after the first scene has started and would like to play, submit a skeleton character (basically, all of the pieces you need to submit) letting me know about your desire in the comments. I will think of a way to write you into the game and request revisions with some options for you to decide upon for character development.
