North Omura: Rise of the Frost Lich [Level 4]
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to the Glacial Wilds of North Omura. A cold and bitter land where only the sturdiest of all survive. With constant blizzards and cold snaps that come blasting off the Seven Brothers Peaks, it leaves the region locked in a permanent snowscape. Many hardy tribes roam the landscape searching for whatever prey they can catch, and fighting against the naturally resilient beasts of the land, whether predator or prey, is not for the faint of heart. In the Capital of Kalmarsa, a map has been found hidden away in their archives depicting an ancient artifact capable of controlling the cold. Against the Kings wishes, Prince Skadi has secretly gathered a small group of adventurers, along with his long time friend Fidri, to mount an excursion into the Seven Brothers to find this artifact and claim it in the name of the King. This campaign is a personal retelling of the Lich King story from Warcraft, but you do not need to be familiar with that story to enjoy this campaign. There will also be strong Viking and Skyrim style themes used. We will be starting at level 3.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Party currently consists of a Fighter, Ranger, Cleric, Warlock, and Warlock/Paladin
Additional details
How to prepare
A Mic is required, but a webcam is preferred. You will need internet access as well to access foundry at a link I will provide when we start playing, as well as to access their character sheets on dndbeyond. Foundry does not require any download as it is web based. I welcome my players to use their own dice if they have them (as long as they are honest with their rolls) or they can use the digital dice on dndbeyond or Foundry VTT.
What I provide
I will bring dice if everyone is local and willing to play in person. However if we are playing remote, personal dice are welcome as long as you remain honest with the rolls, or you can use the digital dice in dndbeyond or Foundry VTT. I will provide in game handouts whether in person or digital. If we are playing in person, I will provide a Mini for each player they are welcome to keep when the campaign has ended, for digital games I will do my best to help players find a character art that fits their vision for their character. I also do voices for NPC's and use background music for better immersion.
Gameplay details
This game will likely not be appropriate for players under 18. There will be strong aspects of fantasy violence, including the possibility of character death. Any sexual content will always be a fade to black. We will have a free session 0 where we will discuss any hard lines you might have as a player, and during that time we will also make sure your character and backstory is all set for the Session 1 and you are all set up on the VTT.

How will character creation work
Characters will be created on dndbeyond attached to a campaign of mine so you can access all of my added content into the site. Characters can be created at your convenience prior to the first session, and if you would prefer we can set up a time to chat and finalize characters and backstories to be ready for the first session. I do have a few prompts that I have listed in Discord for backstory creation. We will be using the 2024 ruleset for the game, but character creation can be done using 2024 or legacy rules including classes, species and backgrounds, but you will be locked into whichever option you choose for the duration of the campaign.
