About the adventure
Smoke rises over the continent of Arthedain, the drums beat a marching tattoo. All goes to war! A great evil has risen in the east in the form of the dark and powerful "King of Thorns" who seeks to conquer the land with his terrible horde of abominations. Aligned with him is the Evil Hobgoblin Warboss Kashrack Snake-in-the-eye, sending his endless warbands from the Red Highlands. Standing against him is the great alliance. First amongst them is the magnificent Remean Empire, led by Emperor Aurav Decimus their lock step legions fight the war on their own border, but their empire is consumed by scheming senators and powerful churches. In the gentle south lies fair Brancia under the firm hand of King Laurence de Leon, the great “Lion of the South” who sends his valiant knights to die by the thousands in the name of chivalry, glory, and their blessed goddess. Under the quiet eves of the Sylvawood the great Queen Mauve Elbereth has united all the elves beneath her green banner, bar the traitorous dark elves. Westward across the Iron Sea lies the strange hidden realm of the Karaz-Muzhiem, home of the great dwarven realm under the High King Korgan Dawi-Meister. And, lastly, far in the darkness of the wintery north, lies the necromancer empire of Morna, led by the arch necromancer Sirrion Angsol the "King in the Dark", who wages war against the King of Thorns for his own reasons. The King of Thorns seeks a weapon of great and terrible power to defeat the alliance and end the war, you must stop him and find it first! Or all will fall into darkness and death! So gather your companions adventurers! You will not be able to be neutral for long! will you ride with the thundering charge of the great Brancian Knights? Or will you stand in formation with a throng of stout dwarven warriors? Will you go over to evil and join the King of Thorns in drowning the world in darkness and death... Or will you find another way? There are many factions to be discovered and not all are as they seem, one thing is clear, the only surety in Arthedain is war and unless you succeed this one will tear all the world asunder.

About me
Hello everyone! I am a DM with over 6 years experience running games and over 10 years actively playing games; I am primarily going to be focusing on D&D 5E however I may expand into FATE. I have tons of experience in teaching people to play so newcomers be welcome! I pride myself in pulling from history and while I try to add lots of depth to my games but I also love putting in a good bit of humor as well as drawing from the pop and nerd culture I have seen. So grab your dice, and lets roll!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
characters will start at level 1 and I will listen to your character ideas during session 0 to make sure everything works in the setting, then made between session 0 and session 1. If you are joining my game after session 1 we will meet before the game you join at to talk about your character; I will also work with new players to make their character if they would like.
The Red Brazier is a roleplay focused, dungeons and dragons game during the war of the alliance. This game is great for either new or veteran players who enjoy a home-brewed world they can sink their teeth (or fangs) into. Your classic fantasy adventure with more cloak-and-dagger than a tavern full of rogues. Ready yourselves adventurers, there are battles to come.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Access to the players handbook somehow, and have made a character before the game they plan on joining as well as create a discord account; players will also need a working mic.

How Mike creates a safe table
I maintain a fairly open door policy, if something happens in game to make you uncomfortable you are always welcome to talk to me, in session 0 we will go over my system more in depth but there are a number of ways to let me as you DM whether something is starting to make you uncomfortable or unnerved.
