About the adventure
Welcome to "Blades of Balance," an adventure where prophecy and bravery collide in the mystical world of Hala. Setting: You'll begin your journey in the quaint town of Pepper, known for its peaceful vistas and the mysterious Festival of Sight. As adventurers drawn by fate or curiosity, you'll explore a land rich with ancient magic, hidden dangers, and forgotten lore. The gods of this realm have been outcast from their heavenly domains, forced to politic and squabble among the mortals who they live beside. This adventure will put you in the center of a conflict between two godly families and the land they fight over! The Quest: Under the eerie shadow of a growing magical phenomenon known as the Shadestorm, your group will be thrust into a quest of critical importance. According to the prophecy of an enigmatic oracle, only the creation of a magical barrier, the Purity Dome, can save the land from corruption and despair. Challenges: Prepare to traverse treacherous landscapes, from the fiery depths of the Smoking Crater to the haunting whirlpools of the Serpent's Whirl. Along the way, you'll encounter fierce creatures, unravel ancient mysteries, and collect rare artifacts essential for your mission. Adversaries: The warlord Roroan and his formidable lieutenants pose a constant threat to your quest. With an army at his command and dark ambitions in his heart, Roroan will stop at nothing to thwart your efforts and claim the land's power for himself. Journey and Growth: As you journey across Hala, each location will test your skills, courage, and teamwork. You will discover a great power inside you known as a "Blade." This gift marks you as the champion of a specific god, providing unique powers that blend your backstory with your deity of choice. Alongside battling foes and navigating perilous environments, you'll have opportunities for personal growth and character development, shaping your story through choices and actions that have real impact. Get Ready: "Blades of Balance" offers a blend of adventure, mystery, and epic storytelling. Whether you're decoding ancient prophecies, earning arch enemies through the new Nemesis System, or forging alliances, your actions will tip the scales in a delicate balance of power!

Additional details
How to prepare
Characters begin at level 2, and you will get the chance to meet with our DM in a 1on1 to discuss details, as well as look at the available race, class, subclass, etc. options. Part of the DM session cost includes original artwork of your character, updated every 4-5 levels!
What I provide
Everything from original landscape artwork, maps, custom curated (and in some case produced) music, and custom artwork for your characters will be at play! The reason we charge per session is the DM works about 3-4 hours per session to plan all of this out, and it definitely costs him some mental capacity!
