About the adventure
In the enchanted realm of Efiel, where high elves have safeguarded their ancient secrets for eons, an unsettling disturbance shatters their tranquility. Unpredictable aberrations, grotesque and otherworldly, materialize randomly across elven territories, accompanied by the ominous presence of driders and drow lurking in the shadows. As you and your companions guide an old mage to their sanctum, the allure of the elven mystery pulls you deeper. Alliances will be tested, and ancient pacts will be laid bare. Will you unravel the truth concealed in the shadows of knowledge, or succumb to the encroaching darkness that threatens Efiel's serenity? The fate of the nation and maybe more rests on your decisions.

About me
I decided to embrace my forever DM role and bring people into my world. I started DMing 5 years ago and always loved the world building aspect of the game, weaving backstories into the inner workings of a setting makes everything more alive. I did improv comedy for 3 years, so I try to bring a bit of comedy to all my games and adapt well to player's shenanigans.

How GM Sebastian creates a safe table
Safety tools are fully in use. Before starting adventuring, I will take your input on what themes are to be avoided and what do you wish to experience in the campaign. I will reach out to applicants individually to run a mini session 0 with them and see is they are a good fit. The first third of the first session will be about rounding out campaign expectations and finish character creation if needed. The rest of the session will be a prologue to the adventure so the PCs can get to know each other and try a combat encounter. After this first session you can totally rework your character if you want to better accommodate yourself and/or the party. The games will be run in Roll20, rolling from DnD Beyond via Beyond 20 (Macros can be built once character sheets get more complex), and we will use Discord for audio (video is optional).
