The Ninth World is vast, strange, and intimidating. But big adventures sometimes start small. The village of Neandran is remote, but vibrant and lushly detailed. Establish your characters here, build relationships and backstory, and ground your game in an immersive world. Then venture out into the Glimmering Valley, and begin to discover the wonders, treasures - and dangers - of the Ninth World. Follow the path of adventure, or explore the region sandbox-style, as the PCs grow in capability and players and GM alike are introduced to what makes the Ninth World so unique and compelling. And when you're ready, head out of the Glimmering Valley, prepared (as players, GM, and PCs) to face the vast, awe-inspiring world of Numenera!
