The Crown of Rust | A Level 0 Starting Campaign!?

About the adventure

This is a game of DND that starts at Level 0!? Go on a Journey into a land within an era that has not been explored, find the tiniest sparks of hope and use it to tell a story of great sacrifice and great triumph! This is a story that starts out really bad, but over time slowly gets better and better as hope of the good, and hope of joy returns to the world. A game not for the feint of heart, but a truly riveting story none the less, here is an introduction to: The Crown of Rust. The Crown of Rust lays heavy on that who should wear it, or so the tale goes; The Tri Cities, are the last stronghold against the terror's of a barren and untamed landscape, many have tried to flee beyond the walls, none have prevailed. For the land itself has been ravaged and torn apart, and is festered with something that warped the landscape into a singular purpose, to end anything that does not belong. For 600 years, the world has been under the rule of an Empire known as The Singularity, who's doctrine is of pain, destruction of anyone that is not the 1 percent. The Gods are dead, the war is over, the bad guys one, this is a world were evil and dread won. The world is choked beneath dark clouds and rain of iron and ash, day can only be told from night by the faint glow of a shrouded violet star, a light so dim it barely lifts the sky above the pitch black of midnight. The walls of the Capital stand towering, the entrance lined with hooded statues of rusted iron that depict the four inner Lords of such a nightmarish prison for the oppressed. This is the entrance into the Ring of Imprisonment, the only place you will ever know. But not all is it as it seems, perhaps the truth of this world is more fragile than anyone dares to believe. A whisper of hope lingers in the cracks of every city, that all speak of a day, a day when if The Capital Falls, so does the rest. This is a tale of The Crown of Rust, how the one who wields it dominates an entire Empire to serve themself, and only themself. This is the story of how an Era ends, and about the ordinary people stuck in the middle of it all, and how they take a place in the undoing of something long-overdue, perhaps sacrificing themself while trying.
