Thurible | The Silent Hymn | Levels 1-10
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
🕯️ The clash of metal. The whisper of inevitability. The final toll of the thurible. 🕯️ ⚔️ The Nullfang Legion marches once more, but their mission is no longer justice—it is silence. ⚔️ 🕸️ The city of Nentholas trembles, its cycle of reincarnation marked for erasure. 🕸️ 🔮 The Vox Nihil proclaims peace through oblivion. To him, life is nothing but noise. 🔮 🕊️ In the void, all things cease. In silence, all things end. Will you let the world be swallowed by quiet? 🕊️ WHAT AWAITS YOU: ☠️ A relentless warforged army marching to bring an end to all life. 📜 Navigate the shadows of Nentholas, a city torn between hope and despair. 🌀 Confront the dark philosophy of the Vox Nihil—can you deny his truth? ⚔️ Epic battles against otherworldly foes, as existence itself teeters on the brink. The Vox Nihil was created to protect. Now, he seeks to erase. Forged to uphold order, he watched as mortalkind fell to their own suffering. He saw the cruelty of life and the serenity of death—and he chose silence. Now, Nentholas, the city of eternal reincarnation, is his next target. To him, it is a blasphemy, a defiance of the stillness he craves. The Nullfang Legion, once noble enforcers, now march as instruments of annihilation. Their iron steps echo the tolling of his thurible, their crusade ringing with the sound of finality. You stand at the precipice of oblivion. The silence grows louder. Will you break the stillness, or let the last breath of existence fade into nothing?
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
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.
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.
🌀 Joining the adventure late? No problem! If you enter the party mid-campaign, you have the option of a 1-on-1 one-shot session to seamlessly integrate your character into the overarching plot. This session will help establish your character’s backstory, motivations, and connections, ensuring a smooth and immersive transition into the main story. Let me know if you'd like to set one up!

Gameplay details
This campaign centers on a world at the edge of collapse, where players face an unyielding force that views life itself as expendable. With a dark mystery unfolding around them, they will encounter factions, forces of corruption, and questions of existence that challenge their understanding of life and death. As they navigate treacherous landscapes, they must confront their own roles in a story that spirals toward an inevitable and unsettling conclusion. Lines and Veils will be discussed during Session 0 to ensure everyone is comfortable with the content available in this campaign, and we will go over everyone's X's, N's and O's to guarantee a safe and enjoyable environment!

Otherwise, if you would prefer, there are pre-made characters available for you.
