Appropriately, our fourth shard is Four Colors! We've read the fiction and met some of the key figures from this World, but now it's time to dive in to the Golden Age Comic Book version of Scion!
Zeus has fallen. Apep roars triumphant and marches his army of Titans, Titanspawn and evil doers to conquer the World. Governments, militaries, and law enforcement can do little to stop Apep. All the World is watching and know that Gods can be killed. People are terrified of what tomorrow will bring because who dares to stand against them? You — and other Scions like you answered the call to rise up and openly fight against the forces of evil! Divinity courses through your veins as you wear colorful costumes and a mask to inspire the masses, because you heed the call to action — you are a superhero, bringing order and justice in a World desperately needing it. The World of Four Colors is bright despite Apep’s looming shadow and carries the hope and nostalgic whimsy of golden and silver age comic books. Four Color Scions games operate at the Heroic and Demigod Tiers with superhero teams reaching God level play as they work together to dismantle Apep’s plans be it an army of malevolent robots, death rays, or a gigantic meteor hurdling towards the Earth.
International Shipping – Collected in the Pledge Manager
One quick reminder about Shipping before we get into the manuscript previews.
First up, it's amazingly expensive to ship, especially from Onyx Path's home base in the US. We get that, but there's not much we can do at this time. Onyx Path is in a difficult space where the company is big enough that they're not saving money by fulfilling out of Rich's garage, but small enough that they can't really set up international partners to handle portions of the fulfillment. So we are where we are - for now.
The best we can do at this point is to plan carefully, advise everyone up front that international shipping will likely be expensive (see our projections on the main page) and only charge what it costs us when the time comes. We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. If you live outside the US and aren't sure you want the hardcover or other physical items, you can pledge to the PDF tier now and upgrade your pledge in the Pledge Manager once we know the final shipping costs.
DRAFT MANUSCRIPT PREVIEWS - BACKERS ONLY

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK
I'm going to be sharing the manuscript in sections - or shards, even - over the next 10 days. Part of the reason for that is to keep focus on one section at a time so that the team can gather feedback to help guide the manuscript through the next steps of editing and development. To that end, they've created a special Feedback Form for you to submit your comments after reading each section!
