About the adventure
Welcome to Raelvo, a world where the echoes of ancient powers and the clamor of new ambitions collide. For centuries, this realm has known little but conflict and change, its history a tumultuous saga of discovery, conquest, and uneasy truces. The recent unveiling of a new continent, Kho'as, has ignited a firestorm of intrigue and warfare among the old kingdoms, each eager to extend their dominions into these uncharted territories. Now, as a precarious peace holds sway, the voracious appetites of the most formidable nations cast long shadows over the land. Yet, beyond the glittering courts and battle-scarred borders lies a realm of shadow and mystery. On the distant frontiers, where the wilds of Kho'as meet the ambitions of explorers and settlers alike, dark forces and ancient terrors stir amidst the chaos of civilization's reach. Here, in the burgeoning frontier, a volatile mix of old beliefs and new desires ferment, creating a crucible of potential and peril. As corruption weaves its insidious threads through the fabric of society and whispers of a looming conflict grow louder, Raelvo stands on the brink of a new epoch. With every nation's gaze fixed on the enigmatic shores of Kho'as, the stage is set for heroes to emerge, for legends to be born, and for the age-old struggle between order and chaos to unfold. In the heart of this world, amidst the swirling mists of change and the shadows of forgotten deities, the fate of Raelvo hangs in the balance, awaiting the next chapter in its endless story. There will be hardships and struggles. There will be moments that will either define you or break you. There is scarce light to be seen, but it is there, a faint beacon lighting the way through tides of darkness. How will the truth affect you? Players can expect to play in a homebrew world using the DND5e ruleset. This adventure will take place in the city of Nova Liber and will explore most if not all of the frontier and beyond. Players will start at level 2 and will be able to level up to level 20, however this is if all side content is completed. Intrigue will be a major part of the story along with character relationships. Joining part way through the campaign is acceptable, but any player who joins within the day of the session will have to wait until the next session to join, just for the sake of easing into the campaign. This obviously does not apply to session zeroes.

About me
Hello future heroes! I have been Dungeon Mastering for close to 5 years now and have been playing TTGs for the past decade. DND5e is what I primarily use to enrapture my players into my worlds, but I am always up for learning the systems for other systems as well. My favorite thing as a DM is getting to see the characters the players create have genuine moments in the worlds that I spin, it really is a feeling like no other. That being said I absolutely love when my players go wild with the roleplay, but have an equal amount of joy when they immerse themselves in the combat. Overall I am fairly "Laissez Faire" with how players want to progress and interact with the world around them, so long as everyone at the table is onboard with the direction. Overall my campaigns offer opportunities for both role-players and combat aficionados to enjoy themselves and I am always open to communicating with players on any subject that they have about the game or DND in general.

No prior knowledge will be required, but will be heavily encouraged to speed up game time, but any and all questions will be answered no matter what. Discord Account Needed Roll20 Account Needed
What Aveio A. brings to the table
I have access to many modules and official content to share with the players for no extra charge. I create the vast majority of my maps so there will be a quality of passion behind my work that I feel players will appreciate. Also currently I have many artists to recommend the players to if they want their character portraits more specialized. As a bonus some of these artists are willing to offer discounts for any player I refer to them.
Homebrew rules
The world itself is a homebrewed setting of my own creation and the campaign will utilize 3rd party content from the Grim Hollow series of books by Ghostfire Games.

How Aveio A. creates a safe table
Players can expect a variety of rule sets designed to make the world more gritty and to make players consider choices more carefully. Exhaustion will feature more prominently in the campaign if the players are too reckless, and the world state will change for better or worse with their actions.
