The ruse has carried them as far as it can. With forged papers, borrowed armor, and a very cooperative “corpse,” the party finally steps into the emperor’s palace—the place where Control’s influence feels heavy enough to bend thought and memory. Silent guards, perfectly ordered halls, and eyes that never quite blink all point toward a single destination: the throne room.
There, a desperate ritual is set in motion, meant to drag the newborn icon into reach. Instead, the world itself seems to turn inside out, hurling the group into a twisted realm of floating stone, writhing tendrils, and watching eyes. In this final episode, the adventurers make their stand at the very heart of Control’s power, where every choice, every blow, and every act of defiance becomes a statement about what free will is worth—and what they are willing to pay to keep it.
About the Chronicle
13th Age: Control is a standalone dark fantasy one-shot set in a world after the classic clash of good vs. evil has already been “won.” Instead of playing noble champions of the Empire, the group steps into the boots (and claws) of villains, monsters, and outcasts brought together by a single shared interest: they need people to stay capable of wanting things—even if those wants are ugly.
It’s a compact story built to showcase 13th Age’s big, swingy action and its flexible, icon-driven worldbuilding—all through the eyes of the so-called bad guys trying to keep the world from being “saved” into obedience.
