DOA: Rise of the Deathlords (1-20 in a massive original world)

About the adventure

In the centuries after Eoman, the first of the Deathlords, launched a war against the world of Doa and made himself a God, there has been peace. In the east the free kingdoms have grown rich and fat while the sable knights guard the spine of the world against fresh invasions from the dark lands to the west. But new and strange creatures have ventured into the mountain passes, twisted by dark magic. There are whispers of a secret cult, Eoman worshipers, who slit throats in the dark, and plot against the thrones of elves, dwarves, and man-folk. The forge fires blaze in dark towers of Vecnalia, and new Deathlords vie for their master’s favor. Will the west cover Doa in darkness again or will new heroes rise to bring the world back into balance? You are invited to create an original character to rise from local hero to world saving legend in an expansive original world. Doa is a versatile sandbox style campaign designed to give players the ultimate freedom. Your party can steep themselves in lore and swim the currents of politics and power determined to become legendary saviors--or, set out to slay monsters, drink ale, and bathe in piles of plundered gold. The choice is up to you! Doa features original monsters, magic items, subclasses, and locations designed to keep even the most experienced D&D player guessing. Also, an ever expanding lore channel on Discord, will provide players with material on the history of the gods, nations, and heroes of Doa. Who knows, maybe your epic character will find their way into the legends! Game Zero provided, including help with character and background design help you get started whether begining at level one, or jumping in with a group in progress. Players can expect an immersive role play experience, where character actions have real consequences in the game world at large. Combat is challenging and varied, from a quick skirmish to a running fight through city streets, to a traditional BBEG monster showdown at the end of a story arc. Most of all, the Doa game world is built to give players a chance to sink their teeth into a truly enormous story. Players that love creating, playing, and bringing to life a character you will remember for a lifetime will find a warm, inviting, and occasionally heartbreaking home in the world of Doa.
