Babel TOC


Babel - The Path to Ascension:

In every world there is a legend of a tower. A great building piercing the sky and touching the heavens. In some worlds that tower is broken and cast down by an act of God, never to rise to its former glory, but not all of them. 

Legends say these towers were torn asunder by a deity punishing people for their hubris, but the truth is these people were being punished by their god's jealousy. In worlds where the tower is intact it is a rite that people can attempt, in the hopes that they too can bring themselves to godhood.

Follow the lives of the chosen children of the 13 great clans, as they attempt to make the journey and become gods.
