About the adventure

The Kingdom of Keoland stands on the precipice of annihilation. The Lich-King Vecna has returned, his malevolent will stretching across the lands like a deathly pall. With the unholy legions of the Whispered One marching forth from the depths of the swampy Rushmoors, doom threatens all. The fate of Keoland—and all of the region—rests in your hands. Welcome Heroes! If you wish to read that narrative in its entirety, it's listed below. This is a 2024 Dungeons and Dragons Game for players new and experienced, in the fabled world of Greyhawk! I am an old "Greyhawk Grognard", and actually worked with Wizards of the Coast to develop storylines back in 3rd/4th edition. I am running this campaign with a tilt for new players, as this is a "Learn to Play D&D" storyline. When you play with me, you will learn the rules and you will learn a lot of lore. I'm full of stories about how things got to the way they were in D&D Lore, and I can't stop myself at times from breaking up dry rolling with a silly anecdote. As a player, you'll need some free accounts, some free time, and the want to have fun. I'll do my best to provide the rest while we are playing. Cheers! -DM Jeremy Here is the extended introduction. If you don't understand a lot of the people or locations, don't worry you will as we play. :) *The Kingdom of Keoland stands on the precipice of annihilation. The Lich-King Vecna has returned, his malevolent will stretching across the lands like a deathly pall. With the unholy legions of the Whispered One marching forth from the depths of the swampy Rushmoors, doom threatens all who call the Sheldomar Valley home. King Kimbertos Skotti, once the steadfast ruler of Keoland, has been struck down—his soul consumed by the cursed blade Blackrazor. Without his guidance, noble lords quarrel, cities fortify in desperation, and the knights of the realm scramble to organize a defense. Yet against an undying foe who commands the very essence of entropy, no army alone can hope to triumph. As the war drums thunder and ancient horrors rise, heroes are needed more than ever. From the streets of Niole Dra to the depths of the Dreadwood, adventurers, warlords, and mages must set aside rivalries and rally together. Some seek to reclaim the stolen soul of their fallen king, while others scour ancient ruins for forgotten artifacts that might turn the tide. The forces of Good whisper of a secret weapon hidden in the ruins of Vecna’s past, while sinister cults revel in their dark master’s return. Will you forge alliances to lead the defense of the Sheldomar Valley? Will you seek out the dread Blackrazor, hoping to wrest the king’s soul from its cursed grip? Or will you brave the abyssal horrors of Vecna’s domain to strike at the god-lich himself? The fate of Keoland—and all of the Flanaess—rests in your hands.*
