The Castle in the Fog
Tales of the Valiant, Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Long ago, sat high above the town of Rivers Hollow, nestled among the peaks of the Crooked Fingers Mountain, a mysterious and unusual looking castle stands alone and the subject of many myths. The people of the town look up at the silhouette of the curious structure with awe and terror for the many tales of its sole inhabitant leave them wondering as to who lives there and what plans they have. A few years ago, the dozen or so towering chimneys began belching purple coloured puffs of glowing vapor and a strange grinding sound would sometimes emitted from the castle followed by a minor tremor which has now become common and less panic inducing. Some among the town have even spotted a hooded figure standing on one of the balconies as if observing the lives of the people below perhaps like a hawk before snatching a mouse. The mayor of the town worried that some foul magic or twisted ritual is being conducted in the castle has sent letters to guilds all over the land seeking any who might be brave enough to venture up the mountain and uncover the secrets of the castle promising the riches of his family’s vault if they are able to put a stop to the unnerving events occurring. Now as you stand at the base of the mountain the rugged and unmaintained path winding up its side laying before you there is a hint of hesitation but you push on. What Awaits You in The Castle in the Fog ? Dive into a rich, immersive world where your imagination is the only limit! Whether you're a seasoned veteran of ttrpgs or a novice, this campaign is designed in such a manner as to encourage creativity, bring an enjoyable experience and maybe foster friendships along the way. Here’s why you’ll love it: - Rich Storytelling: A sprawling, character-driven narrative full of surprises and opportunities to shine. - Dynamic Gameplay: Balancing epic combat, intricate puzzles, and moments for heartfelt roleplay. - Your Story Matters: Tailored story arcs that make your character’s choices meaningful. - complete safe space: a completely neutral and safe space with no judgement and a 0% tolerance towards any behaviour that hurts others, inclusive and open for all.

Mrhatman is the kind of DM that is focused on player fun above all else, and really goes the extra mile creating incredible details into his set and setting. But, need I say more than he actually speaks Huttese? My conversations with the Hutts have never been more thematic.
