Thrain's Glory: Raiders of Sky and Scale
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Plunder the skies, strike fear into the lands below, and carve a path of destruction in the name of Jarl Thrain, Storm King of the North! Dark fantasy with an evil twist: ruthless raids, aerial combat, and political machinations. Play as skyborne marauders wielding might and magic to dominate or destroy those who dare stand against you. In Thrain's Glory: Raiders of Skies and Scales, players take on the roles of ruthless raiders, sworn to serve Jarl Thrain, a mighty Storm Giant bent on vengeance and conquest. From your airship fortress in the frozen northern mountains, you’ll descend upon the unsuspecting southern kingdoms to reap their wealth, burn their cities, and crush their resistance—all for the glory of your master. Plunder and Pillage: Raid trade routes, sack villages, and seize spoils to strengthen your airship and crew. Unbridled Power: Wield destructive magic, command dragons, and let loose your dark ambitions. A World Fighting Back: The Vanguard of Ezra, a coalition of desperate defenders, rises to challenge your terror, while rival factions such as the Despair Empire of Fogholt plot to gain the upper hand. This is a high-stakes evil campaign with plenty of opportunities for moral ambiguity, political intrigue, and brutal combat. The choices you make will shape the future of the war-torn lands of Ezra.

How will character creation work
This campaign starts at level 6. We'll go over character creation in depth during Session 0, but I have players roll stats, rerolling ALL 1's & you can take a free Feat I have virtually no restrictions on character building. If it's not gamebreaking, count on me being cool with it.
