Shadows of the Stringbinder - FREE FIRST SESSION

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

The lighthouse burns bright— its beacon tearing through the sky, a blue flame of defiance at the edge of a broken world. But light is a call as much as it is a warning. The Stormward Core has been recovered. The last Stormkeeper, Jaelor—Warden of the Gales—has returned from the brink. And with him comes the truth: Maelirion, the Stringbinder’s right hand, led the attack that drowned this coast in shadow. He twisted elemental guardians into monsters and warped sacred ground with anti-magic filth. And now… he knows the light has returned. The war will find you. Already, the corrupted Umbranox elves draw near—deadly echoes of the ancient Aenorian race, now bound to the will of the Stringbinder. Whispers of duergar stir beneath the mountains, their poisoned steel surfacing in ambushes and raids. And something far worse watches from above—vast, circling, and unseen. To survive, the party must gather strength. Allies must be won. Faiths must be tested. And the past must be unearthed. The journey leads east, through the dying forests and into the Scorched Expanse—a sun-blasted wasteland filled with bonefields, desert raiders, and ancient obelisks pulsing with forgotten power. At its heart lies Thal Durim, the mountain home of the Stoneheart Dwarves, long-time enemies of the duergar and masters of rune-carved steel. But will they answer the call? Or close their gates and wait for the end? You are no longer scavengers in the dark. You are a spark in a growing war. And the Stringbinder does not suffer sparks to live. ⚔️ What Awaits You: 🌲 Wilderness Survival & Ancient Mysteries Navigate haunted forests, deadly deserts, and long-forgotten ruins. Solve puzzles, dodge traps, and uncover relics older than memory. ⚔️ Relentless Combat & Tactical Fights From corrupted treants and desert scorpions to sahuagin barons and Umbranox assassins, every enemy is a piece of the Stringbinder’s growing web. 🏰 Factions, Alliances & Consequences Forge bonds with herb-loving loxodon, gnoll tribes, Korthala sea-vikings, and reclusive dwarves. 🎭 Cinematic Roleplay & Emotional Arcs From campfire confessions to prophetic visions, your characters matter. This is a world where backstory, belief, and betrayal shape the future. 🔥 Campaign Highlights: 🌌 Epic Fantasy Storytelling with true consequences 🧭 Exploration-Driven Progression and puzzle-filled dungeons 🌿 Deep Roleplay rooted in lore, emotion, and choices 💀 Survive a world that is actively trying to kill you 🧟 Recent Events: Fought off a Tempest of Shadows to reignite the lighthouse Survived the mega shark of the Evershade waters Unlocked a mythic flail in a gnoll shrine to a forgotten god Discovered the Stringbinder’s corruption is spreading… fast Ready to Step into the Fight?

How will character creation work

Characters are currently level 6 which is what you would join at! You will be using D&DBeyond for character creation where I have tons of purchased and homebrew content. Please ask before you use homebrew stuff however as it's all built within the rules of D&DBeyond's creation tools and therefore is not all balanced or available for every campaign.
