About the adventure
As the realm crawls out of a centuries long dark age, following a brutal struggle against the Mother Gods, civilization begins to rebuild... but where there is civilization, there comes war. When the tiny kingdom of The Halslands comes under threat from it's neighbors, Mad King Allistair calls for aid to recover a powerful relic: The Coronet of Edmund Hal. But the crown may not be quite what it seems, and the rebel Princess Oriel has her eyes on it as well. A party of adventurers will seek the crown, decide the fate of The Halslands, and perhaps thrust all Vaerrenum in a dangerous new direction.

About me
Hiya! I'm Imogen Xavier; I’m a fantasy writer, professional improviser, and house Game Master for The Fools Guild and Instant Theatre in Vancouver, BC. I've been running d&d for longer than I can remember, and have experience with all kinds of play. Tactical, narrative, strictly-improv etc. First timers welcome!! Happy to help arrange women/queer only games with a little extra notice. I specialize in writing original, character driven multi session adventures to craft unique and personal experiences - & I'm more than happy to work with you in character creation to make sure we're telling a dramatically interesting story that everyone's excited to play! If you've seen me on stage and are looking for a similar experience, strictly-improv one shots are always available!

Creating your character
Players can bring in pre-created level 5 characters, but not magic items. The GM will send out a form asking for key personality/backstory details to better tailor the story to the unique character cast. If a player requires assistance with character creation, or wishes to build a lore-accurate character for the setting, they are welcome to reach out to the GM ahead of time.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to Discord and a microphone. GM will be using a webcam. GM will run the VTT. The server has a dice-roller bot, or players may use their physical dice. Players are asked to have level 5 characters pre-created, fill out the personality/backstory form, and read the pre-adventure introduction provided by the GM.
What Imogen Xavier brings to the table
GM will host the game on a private Discord server, and provide custom soundtrack, premium Seafoot battlemaps, and other digital resources (region map, magic item cards, etc).

Safety
How Imogen Xavier creates a safe table
Players will be given a directed narrative with decision making moments of significant world-impact (as opposed to a sandbox structure). Narrative character death is on the table toward the end of the story, but will be telegraphed and avoidable. Last 30 mins of the session will be dedicated to debrief.
