About the adventure
Link to Trailer: https://youtu.be/k86AJV7tz7k?si=gej3955OH09NvESq (copy paste the link into your browsers search bar) _____________________________________________________________________ For one thousand years the world burned. The Great Dragon Vrahk ruled the ashen wastes, enslaving any who fell under its corrupting flame. Elves, Dwarves, and Men, hid within the depths of the world, evading the terrible clutches of the Dragon Thralls. Darkness reigned, but from the shadows a band of desperate heroes arose. Wielding hope, they toiled to reclaim the surface, cutting through the ashes towards the light. The battle for reclamation broke the sky and sundered the surface. The heavens reigned down and the abyss boiled up. Vrahk's frenzy seemed unstoppable, but due to the generational efforts of the underdwellers, great boons were heaped upon the reclaimers, and through the light of hope, the Dragon was slain. Diligent study and prayer revealed the Dragon would return. To safeguard the realms, the heroes established an Academy in the sky, to ensure the most gifted and stalwart of men could repel the Dragons conquests in ages to come. Seven centuries the Academy's Heroes have prevailed, overcoming the Dragons onslaughts. As the seventh century of the Age of Heroes draws to a close, smoke and cinders drift across the northern winds. The realms stand divided. Betrayal haunts the High Court of Kings. Wyrm Cults fester within the ruins below. Threats long forgotten slither up from the abyss. The Academy calls for adventurers. _______________________________________________________________________ Tokens by Crosshead Studios, Forgotten adventures, and Devin Night Tokens.

Creating your character
Heroic Quests is now using the 2024 rules for Dungeons and Dragons. You will be sent a link to the D&D Beyond campaign in which you can create your character. Characters for this campaign will begin at level 1. All Heroic Quests do not allow the following character options: Tieflings, Warlocks, Twilight and Peace Domain Clerics, Ecco Knights, Chronurgy Magic Wizards. Players can choose to generate their ability scores with the point buy method, or by using the rolling method with the GM present, allowing them to re roll one ability score. Experienced players are free to create their character on their own through D&D Beyond following the above guidelines and the homebrew rules found in the Heroic Quests Discord server. Characters created in this way need GM approval before being added to the adventure. Players are offered a free session 0 to help create their characters and establish expectations for the adventure. Session 0's for campaigns are done with the whole group present, with the option of private conversations for anything players might feel uncomfortable discussing as a group. Character creation and advancement is done through D&D Beyond. The characters are then brought into Foundry VTT.
