Facets of the Past:Custom Maztica Forgotten Realms Campaign
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Facets of the Past is an original homebrew adventure that incorporates several adventures found in Keys from the Golden Vault and Journeys through the Radiant Citadel. Starting at Level 7 this story arc in Maztica is expected to take characters to Level 16 or so Stones with magical properties have been stolen, as have the lives of those sworn to protect them . Statues stolen directly from Temples and Museums in Calimshan made from the essence of creation itself, now pure and raw ethereal energy. A coalition of powerful undead known as The Twisted Rune is responsible. Now taken across the sea to the returned continent of Maztica an expedition has been mounted to find them. Who knows the power such secret knowledge could unleash? The capabilities of harnessed potential from the energy of creation itself? Many groups will kill to get this knowledge, or die in the attempt and some already have. Servants of other gods, zealous cultists and eager fanatics, intrepid adventurers and even foolish heroes... Across the oceans and seas of Toril, through mountains and forests, jungles and swamps the journey for answers continues. A new expedition has been mounted to settle and explore those lands, you have gone with them. Having disembarked to explore the jungles of Maztica and discover what secrets lay hiding within the cursed bay their patron purchased for the new colony the group now finds themselves resting within the town of Mahuizoh. This seems to be the sole native village in the area and one that willingly follows the demands of their dragon queen of Somber Silence brought to them by her messenger "He Who Snaps."

Additional details
How to prepare
Discord for Text and Voice communication (mic required) Discord will also be used for some virtual handouts. Combat and Exploration Maps will be run through Roll 20. Character Sheets and Rolls will be handled through Roll 20 and DnD Beyond.* A background for the character created. *As GM I will require a master copy of the character sheet for any player through DnDBeyond*
What I provide
Virtual handouts can be provided for characters and locations. These can include information, maps or reference pictures. Background music can also be utilized though no one is required to listen. I will provide the narrative structure guiding the characters through their adventure and challenges, functioning as storyteller and gamemaster for the table as we create a tale of adventure together.
Gameplay details
The narrative of this story involves interaction with various species that mistreat others such as Humans, Genies and Undead. Depictions of mind control, enslavement, violence and cruelty will be present or referenced at times in session. There will be a session 0 to establish basic understanding and comfort about the game. Should anything arise that does provoke concern I encourage an open discussion (in private or as group) and fully intend to prevent any matters which would disrupt the players' enjoyment of the game as a group. Feedback is also available through the anonymous suggestion box JotForm. If there is another method any player would prefer such as those mentioned in the Safety Toolkit I am willing to work within those parameters that best suit the group as a whole. I fully intend to work with the players to try and achieve a collaborative story that everyone enjoys, within the boundaries established by the dice and rules.

Players will also use this session to establish the balance of power in regards to attributes and how level ups function. A session 0 also allows the entire group to form ground rules in regards to behavior and vibe for the campaign.
