About the adventure
Some heroes are born, some can be made, and some must rise to the occasion. ___________________________________________________ Our story follows a varied group of Heroes in the wondrously magical city of Aurora. These Heroes often find themselves charging towards grave danger, seeking to fulfil their many motivations within the city. With their bravery, heroics, and comradery, they confront the worst monsters and villains of this world for whatever may motivate them. In a Westmarches-Style campaign, players and characters may rotate in and out from session-to-session. Like an episodic TV show with a changing cast, each session explores one small isolated story that may relate to the overarching story of the group. Whether you come for one session or 20, you will be able to explore a high magic world on daring quests with your fellow adventurers! ___________________________________________________ This game is set in my homebrew world of Ilian; a place of grit, whimsy, divinity, and ingenuity. While it is a world of my creation, it was made with D&D 5e in mind, so there are many things that overlap with the worlds of traditional D&D.

Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
