Three heroes. Six kingdoms. An infinite universe.

The world of Io has entered the age of technology: Horse-drawn carriages are ridden alongside steam-powered vehicles, ships traverse the skies as much as they do the seas, and hulking golems make back-breaking labor significantly easier. Magic, religion, and science work together to make the world a better place. But one day, chaos ensues when countless magical stones are discovered around the world, hatching one sinister plot after another.

Meet Lenoria Tsukino, a young genius guided by Corvus; Katherine, or Kat for short, a traveling catfolk druid guided by the Andromeda Nebula; and Nathan Powers, a researcher guided by the mischievous spirit of Vulpecula on the road to discovery. These three people from different corners of the world soon become involved in a plot that takes them across the world and beyond...

A Quest for the Stars, or Quest for short, is a story that is based on the setting of my long-running homebrew D&D 3.5e/Pathfinder 1e hybrid campaign and uses names and bits from the lore of both systems. Quest is my answer to the common statement "The DM should just write a novel." Well, here we are! Chapters are released weekly on Saturdays and range between 2000-4000+ words.
