The Union is an organization of miners and engineers who have come together in the interests of protecting their workers from unsafe working conditions and unfair pay.

Some of this back-breaking work is performed by the convicts which the Guild regularly ships into Malifaux, but the majority of it falls onto the shoulders of the Miners and Steamfitters Union. The Guild ships Soulstones back to Earth by the trainload, and this has given them unprecedented power and control back on Earth.ĭespite all their power, the Guild doesn't have the manpower or expertise to dig the Soulstones out of the ground themselves.

Soulstones are one of the few ways that people back on Earth can tap into the magic which infuses Malifaux, and as a result, each Soulstone is worth a small fortune. Malifaux City is under the direct control of the Guild of Mercantilers, a tyrannical government that is far more concerned with Malifaux's Soulstones than the well-being of any of the people living within the city. Characters shift fluidly from one profession to the next as they meet the challenges of Malifaux head-on, and even the most naive Academic might find herself becoming a lethal Gunslinger, hardened Pioneer, or power-mad Dabbler with the right twist of fate. Through the Breach uses cards instead of dice to resolve conflicts, and each character has a hand of cards they can use to alter their destinies, changing failure into success and defeat into victory.

With each session, the character's final fate grows ever closer, and in the end, it is up to them whether they embrace their destiny or attempt to cheat fate out of its prize. As the game progresses, the destinies of the Fated entwine, creating a campaign with a finite end. This destiny is created alongside the Fated during character creation, and it affects every aspect of the character's life, from the day they were born and into the future. The players take on the role of the Fated, men and women who have caught a brief glimpse of their destinies. Through the Breach is a tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of Malifaux.
