About the adventure
[FREE SESSION 0] In the heart of the Forgotten Realms, nestled among the rugged hills and ancient forests, lies the sleepy town of Phandalin, a place steeped in legends and forgotten tales. As whispers of rediscovered riches and the legendary Lost Mine of Phandelver echo through the taverns, a sense of adventure stirs in the air. Mysteries shrouded in the mists of time await those brave enough to seek them, promising not just gold, but the chance to unravel the dark secrets that lie buried beneath the earth. As the sun sets, casting long shadows over the cobblestone streets, a call to adventure beckons – will you heed it and uncover the treasures and dangers that lie within the lost mines? And when you do, will you be ready for an even darker secret? This campaign is perfect for new or experienced players seeking to experience a great fantasy story with infinite modularity. Thorough integration of character stories, deep roleplaying, tactical combat that expands the narrative, and engaging exploration are the hallmarks of my campaigns. Meet me in Phandalin!
Welcome to Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk, an open, high fantasy campaign where the bonds of friendship, the weight of responsibility, and the mysteries of the past shape your journey. Set in the humble frontier town of Phandalin, this adventure offers a rich blend of realistic NPC interactions, deep character-driven storylines, and an opportunity to fall in love with a community struggling to find its place in a dangerous world. Once a prosperous mining settlement, Phandalin is now a town on the edge—caught between the promise of renewed fortune and the lurking shadows of its past. As you delve into the region’s hidden secrets, you’ll uncover ancient forces, unravel tangled alliances, and face moral dilemmas that test your resolve. From simple beginnings escorting a wagon of supplies to confronting the remnants of a forgotten power, your choices will shape the town’s future—and perhaps the fate of the world itself. Whether you're a wide-eyed adventurer seeking glory, a hardened mercenary looking for redemption, or a scholar unraveling the mysteries of ages past, Phandalin has a place for you.
