Ties that Bind - Sanctuary Prime
Ties That Bind – Sanctuary Prime and the Seven Steps to Jericho Series of PlaysA Readers' Play of Mystery and Imagination Within the curious halls of Sanctuary Prime, home to the League of Overland Adventuring Rogues, extraordinary histories mingle with everyday conversation, and the distinction between traveller, scholar, adventurer, and storyteller is seldom as clear as it might first appear. Nathan, a young acolyte attending to the seemingly mundane responsibilities of the Manor, dreams of distant horizons and adventures of his own. Surrounded by eccentric scholars, seasoned travellers, mysterious visitors, and the accumulated curiosities of countless expeditions, he begins to question whether his time at Sanctuary Prime has prepared him for the wider world—or merely kept him from experiencing it. Through a series of encounters, unexpected conversations, and occasionally questionable observations, Nathan discovers that even the most ordinary circumstances may conceal opportunities for curiosity, friendship, and discovery. Blending gentle humour, historical intrigue, speculative fiction, and the enduring camaraderie of an unconventional fellowship, Ties That Bind invites readers into a world where stories intersect, mysteries need not surrender their secrets, and the spirit of adventure is never very far away. The seventh instalment in the Seven Steps to Jericho sequence, this readers' play brings together familiar threads from the preceding works while offering an accessible introduction to the characters, atmosphere, and imaginative possibilities of Sanctuary Prime. Above all, it is an invitation to explore, to wonder, and perhaps to discover that the most interesting journeys do not always begin where we expect.
