Long Description:
It is 1610 when some say the Last Days have come, heralded by Kepler's new star in 1604. You are travelling by boat down the Rhine from Heydelberg to Koln, the Imperial Free City, on the heels of terrifying events in Heydelberg. See the Event A Clockwork of Orange - Heydelberg (Round 1). Your mission is now clear, the consequences of failure a nightmare for yourself at the business end of the headsman's axe, if you're lucky and not rather broken on the wheel; for the world, the prophesied Last Days. Emissaries of the Karolinum in Prague – Lady Jirel, quixotic knight errant; Benedetto, Kabbalist from the Florentine ghetto; Salvatore, Paduan rapier master; Eddard, Alchemist of Oxford; Istvan, Collector for the Emperor's Kunstkammer and Trithemius, former abbot and noted steganographer - can you thwart the devices of the Evil One threatening the world itself? The clockwork is ticking!
