Game of Drows | Dark Elves | Within Shadows
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Your character is a deadly dark elf. If you love the mechanics of this game, the story-telling, and the drow culture, and you've been searching for a space that celebrates your ideas for character customization, this is the campaign you've been waiting for. Play in what I like to call a web-box, where every action you take matters and affects other simultaneous groups. Survive the intrigues and bloodlust among the most powerful factions of Faerun: the houses of the Dark Elf Empire. You belong to the mercenary clan Bregan D’aerthe: criminals, heroes, assassins, and saviors. They are the clan my players trust the least but need the most. You are joining a group that has achieved: - Saving Prince Duskryn from an assassination attempt - Guiding Barrison del Armgo soldiers during their escape from the fall of Ched Nasad - Destroying the phylactery of Lichdrow Dyrr* Unleash your darkest potential! *In my campaign, the protagonists are my players, and their actions supersede the book canon.

Gameplay details
- My version of Menzoberranzan comes from the love of R.A. Salvatore's novels. I like to dive deep into Drow culture. Here the party plays as part of one of the eight Ruling Noble Houses. First trying to survive as a self, then as a clan, and finally as a kingdom during the most chaotic era of this great city. - Inspired by Salvatore, I bring a lot of Mario Puzo's Godfather's mood to the table, as well as some inspiration from TV shows like Game of Thrones, Succession, and Mordor-like darkness LOTR. - If you already know how to play D&D 5e, please note that I use a few variant rules in my games in order to make them feel more lethal.
