About the adventure
From humble origins, heroes are called to a greater purpose. The world has recovered from the cataclysm that ended the Age of 10,000 Heroes. The city states of Aiendros vie amongst themselves for political and economic influence. Though about half the population is human, Aiendros is home to beings of widely varied ancestry. Things have been this way for generations now, and most people live their lives in a steady rhythm. But in the shadows, a threat has been brewing. Slowly, so that most will not notice the coming darkness. But there are those that do notice, and they are always searching for new ways to fight the gathering threat. New ways and new allies. This is a long form campaign. 30-40 sessions to complete, and covering levels 2-10. Set in a highly detailed homebrew world, complete with political intrigue, an economic system, various factions, history, religion, and unique locations. This game is great for new players, as well as veterans. There will be some exploration, and lots of opportunity for role-play.

About me
I've been running games in dozens of different systems for over 30 years. I'm a "characters first" GM. One of my greatest joys is weaving character backstory into the larger narrative. But I also try to deliver an exciting experience based on what the players want. Dungeon crawl? I got you. Political intrigue? Let's go. Exploring wonderous locations? Oh yeah. Deep lore to explore? I got that, too. I'm confident to run games in many systems, and I'm open to learning new ones. Ultimately, you play the game for enjoyment. If you are going to pay me to run a game for you, I'm going take it very seriously. I will do my best to give you what you want. I do have limits, however. I don't do anything NSFW. I also demand that all players treat each other with respect. Anyway, I hope you have an amazing game, whether I'm you GM or not. Roll well, friends.

Creating your character
The characters will start at level 2. You will make your character on Roll20. I prefer point buy for stat generation, but it isn't set in stone. I have content sharing on, and you will have access to TCE, XGE, and MMoM.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a stable internet connection, a decent microphone so I can hear you. We will be using Zoom for voice chat. We will use Roll20 for most aspects of the game, so you will need an account. Beyond that, just come to have fun!
What Stev brings to the table
I have Roll20 with several books that you will have access to. I have a permanent Zoom link that we will use every session. I custom make most of my battle maps.
