About the adventure

Welcome to Dragonbane, a lightweight fantasy RPG! Survive in the lands beyond the Veil, engage in quick and tactical combat, discover lost artifacts, explore an open world via hex-crawl, and reclaim the lost world of Karanthi! You are a ranger of the Veil. It is your duty to protect the borderlands that surround Mount Yriel. Over the last year, when scouting the Veil and the mists inside, you have begun to encounter extremely dangerous and strange monsters. More than a few times you have barely survived those encounters. You have heard from others that Rangers have been disappearing in the mists. This is not uncommon. What is unusual is the high number that have gone missing. They are presumed dead. You make the difficult choice to abandon your post and go looking for answers in the sacred libraries of Mount Yriel to try to understand whether these encounters have occurred before. _________________________________________________________ Your soggy boots squelch with each footstep and your soaked cloak hangs heavy on your back. You look up into the falling droplets of water to gaze at the final point in your destination. Far into the distance, past the murky swamps of the borderlands and through the ceaseless rains lies Mount Yriel; the sole landmark that stands above twisting vines and swirling waters. Looming over the monolithic mountain is the shattered moon; a physical manifestation of the Goddess Yriel. She hangs like a pale marble with the bottom half suspended in the slow act of breaking apart. On this starless world, she alone provides for the ones below. Her blessing is the dull light. Her protection is the Veil of mist encompassing the borderlands which surrounds the mountain. Those who would dare to leave her domain are doomed to never return, for beyond the Veil lies countless horrors.
