The Origin is a gritty and mysterious setting in which characters master emerging superpowers as they face nefarious groups, superpowered opponents, and dark forces somehow connected to memories of a world that met a different fate. The Origin includes:

• A mysterious backstory for PCs to piece together: a world that looks at first identical to our own, but has been altered—somehow—in dark and frightening ways.
• Rules for PCs to gain and master shocking new abilities over the course of play.
• Dozens of new cyphers and artifacts.
• Dozens of new monstrous creatures, extradimensional beings, and weird metahumans.
• Three full adventures, plus one adventure interlude, that draw characters into the discovery and mastery of their powers, and introduce the sinister forces arrayed against them—and the entire world!
