About the adventure

Xeran Chronicles is a Campaign setting I have been working on for the last decade and I have been playing it on and off for all that time and it is a favorite amongst my different groups ! It is vast enough that if you enjoy playing through and finishing the campaign that their are dozens of other "stories" to tell and can all be run as independent campaigns across this setting. I do utilize some direct inspiration from certain franchises and video games and you will see their are even some areas in my world based upon them ! Some examples being the soulsborne genre , monster hunter, warhammer , diablo etc. The setting itself is a vast world known as Xerus which is struggling through an era known as The Dark Ages. This is due to an apocalyptic like event known as The Darkening, which has been brought on by the warring forces of Celestials and Fiends much akin to the pop culture take on the Heaven vs Hell trope. This event has been happening for millenia across countless astral planes. But it has finally made its way to the material plane and the war has just begun unfolding on the world of Xerus. Now with the casualties mounting from the infernal and celestial hosts the different races and civilizations raise armies and prep for war to finally reach their gates. Many races and cities have even begun acting Xenophobic and condemning others to their fates out in the world and hiding in their settlements and behind the safety of their walls to avoid dealing with the coming onslaught. Many monstrous races have turned towards their dark gods for strength and protection from these warring races and are now committing attrocities and raiding across the world in the names of their dark gods. Many cults have emerged from the shadows calling forth the nightmares of their patrons and fueling the efforts of The Darkening and with all the death and destruction across the world the dead have begun rising in unprecedented numbers and now even the undead are a larger threat then ever before and their numbers grow by the day. This doesn't mean that the world is destroyed yet though, as many places in the world are still untouched by the events of the Darkening or have only just started having issues and you will still find bustling locales,trade+ commerce and many peoples in your travels. Players will take on the role of characters who are living and trying to make it by in this world and will have to have the strength to persevere. This specific campaign begins on the Isle of Kyprion where your characters have been shipwrecked en route to the Peninsula of Crozix out at sea. Either because you are trying to flee the troubles of living on the continents , you wanted start a life elsewhere or because you just want to see if their are places not so ravaged by the Darkening ! Other options are completely applicable as well because I like to incorporate player made backstories into the lore and design of my world to get you more involved and invested!

How to prepare

-Webcam is not necessary but a Mic is required so that all can hear one another. Their will also be text chat options due to discord and dnd above in case of emergency ! - Dnd beyond is what I use for campaign link and I will host so that all players have my content. I have just about every dnd 5e supplement out currently with only a few exceptions ! - You can make characters during session 0 so that you have access to my link and just in case you have questions ! I am also more loose in terms of how character creation is done !

What I provide

- I use discord to communicate in voice chat as well as use its text channels to post numerous pictures , maps , artwork and keep track of information -Traditionally I do not use A VTT but I am experimenting with DND Above currently and am open to using A VTT for this campaign ! - I like to have a lot of fun while playing DND and it is an escape for myself as I imagine it is for so many others and for that reason I enjoy playing a little more loose and more about the fun and excitement as opposed to being a stickler or too much of a rules lawyer. - I try my best with doing character voices for the different npcs and villains you'll meet along the way ! - I like intense tactical combat and I design many encounters with the idea in mind of making you have to think !

Gameplay details

I like to do a Session 0 for everyone to get a proper chance to meet one another , introduce their characters and really go over the lore and homebrew rules and setting before getting into it officially ! This is also to address what people's concerns may be in regards to genres and tropes and sensitive subjects which can be messaged to me discreetly.

How will character creation work

Session 0 will be character creation , introduction of said characters and one another as players , and a synopsis of the lore and the campaign itself ! My homebrew setting is vast and can expand into dozens of campaigns within its world if that is something people are into so it is good to go over a brief lore snippet ! Characters will start at lvl 1 and can either manually roll for stats or can use the point buy system !
