Set in the renowned Forgotten Realms, this adventure plunges you into a realm besieged by threats from both the heavens and the hells. Cormyr’s northern frontier teeters on the edge of annihilation as the Cult of the Dragon, led by fanatical zealots, wages a devastating campaign to bring Tiamat, the five-headed Dragon Queen, into the world. Meanwhile, infernal forces stir beneath the surface, promising a cataclysm that could doom the kingdom. You and your party are the realm’s last hope. In the fortified city of Arabel, known as the Granary of the North, soldiers and citizens alike prepare for an inevitable siege. The Cult’s horde, bolstered by merciless chromatic dragons, advances relentlessly, leaving smoldering ruins in its wake. But not all threats come from outside the city walls. Treachery, moral dilemmas, and hidden agendas lurk in the shadows. In this high-stakes campaign, the fate of Cormyr depends on your choices, courage, and cunning. This campaign offers a thrilling blend of intense combat, deep roleplaying, and world-shaping decisions.

Will you be the saviors of Cormyr, or will you watch it burn?
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Current party composition is: Human Paladin Human Cleric Halfling Fighter Genasi Sorcerer
