Cormyr in Flames: The Dragon Queen's Shadow
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Prepare to defend the Kingdom of Cormyr from a rising tide of darkness and despair in this epic campaign, blending the best of Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, Tyranny of Dragons, and Descent into Avernus! Set in the renowned Forgotten Realms, this adventure plunges you into a realm besieged by threats from both the heavens and the hells. Cormyr’s northern frontier teeters on the edge of annihilation as the Cult of the Dragon, led by fanatical zealots, wages a devastating campaign to bring Tiamat, the five-headed Dragon Queen, into the world. Meanwhile, infernal forces stir beneath the surface, promising a cataclysm that could doom the kingdom. You and your party are the realm’s last hope. In the fortified city of Arabel, known as the Granary of the North, soldiers and citizens alike prepare for an inevitable siege. The Cult’s horde, bolstered by merciless chromatic dragons, advances relentlessly, leaving smoldering ruins in its wake. But not all threats come from outside the city walls. Treachery, moral dilemmas, and hidden agendas lurk in the shadows. In this high-stakes campaign, the fate of Cormyr depends on your choices, courage, and cunning. This campaign offers a thrilling blend of intense combat, deep roleplaying, and world-shaping decisions. You’ll rally desperate townsfolk, forge uneasy alliances, and face the temptations of forbidden power as you battle dragons, uncover ancient secrets, and delve into the infernal mysteries threatening to consume the land. With every decision you make, the stakes rise higher. Will you embrace heroism and sacrifice, or succumb to the temptations of power in the face of impossible odds? Perfect for mature players aged 18+, this game is ideal for those who love immersive storytelling, intricate character development, and a balance of tactical challenges and moral complexity. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or new to epic campaigns, this collaborative journey will test your resolve and leave you with unforgettable memories. If you seek a world where dragons rule the skies, devils scheme in the depths, and your choices define the future, join Cormyr Under Siege: Shadow of the Dragon Queen today. Will you be the saviors of Cormyr, or will you watch it burn?
I'm planning on this game to start at some point in May-June 2025 Minimum amount of players I'm looking for is 3, depending on the group composition and player personalities, I may not even aim for more than four players. If you are not in a hurry, this is your opportunity to join a pretty awesome game with your very own pick for your character class. Character backstory will be done as a discussion between myself and you so don't go writing 10 pages before we've had this discussion!
