of this game, and six-sided dice. One of you will be The Operator (set up a starting
scene, describe a vast and dangerous world, challenge The Awakened and describe the
consequences of their actions), while the rest will be The Awakened (create your main
characters, play heroes, courageous, cunning and strong).
