About the adventure
The Radiant Citadel: an ethereal, floating city carved out of a single, massive fossil that snakes around a gemstone shard known as the Auroral Diamond. Abandoned and lost for ages, the Citadel was rediscovered and resurrected from its slumber. The existence of the Citadel is nought but a dimly understood rumour for most who dwell on the earth... ... But not you. You are different. You have been granted special permission to live on the Radiant Citadel. In exchange, you are obligated to use your special skills to bring peace and harmony to the Founders' lands. It is a golden opportunity: a chance to learn of the other cultures of the world, to meet your Dawn Incarnate, maybe even to have an adventure or two... ~~~ We will use Roll20, (for its VTT) D&DBeyond (for its character sheets/content sharing) and Discord (for voice chatting.) Detailed battlemaps, ambient music and dynamic lighting will be provided for immersive gameplay. I am available to field questions for newer players, as well as provide rules/character building help. LGBTQ+ players welcome!

About me
(Games will be played using Roll20 for VTT, D&DBeyond for character sheets and content sharing and Discord for voice chat and logs) Add me: xiaofang64 Hello! My name is Benjamin. I have been playing D&D for a while, and have seriously started GMing since 2020! My love of literature means that crafting a compelling narrative driven by your character will be a top priority. My love of philosophy means that you will be given the space to explore ethical questions through your character's experiences. And finally, my experience as a teacher means that I'm already well used to preparing tailored content to engage groups for hours! I hope to roll with you soon!
