About the adventure

🕯 A Summer Earned in Iron 🕯 Dragonlance-inspired Homebrew! Founded by Igmund Ignatius in his defiant march against The Winter's Rise, Igmundhael is the first settlement to survive the harsh winters of the region. It was hard-won, but this dominion over the dreary north unluckily awoke a number of dormant beasts, ready to scourge the land. The fury of dragonfire changed the very climate and nature of the north, and against the cold wrought-iron will of man, Igmund the hael stood indomitable against new foes, slaying each slate-scaled tyrant one after the other. Even now, an age later, the solidified charcoal body of their founder stands blackened and stuck to the center chamber of Haelheim, no one brave enough to remove it. They say that Castle Hael still pays homage to their progenitor, the once undefeated king. Now, very seldom visited by outsiders, Igmundhael is a country in the solemn north of Sepulker. It is incredibly mountainous and known for its abandoned, looming structures, those towers made of long worked stone and black iron that stretch beyond the sights of men, into the sky and among the once-eternal mire of grey cloud. Igmundhael was overcast, known to fluctuate between three equally dreary states of rain, light snow, and low fog—until summer broke. Now, the temperate settlements of Igmundhael, those few that are still inhabited, begin to replenish themselves and their cities. The land learns to thrive again behind their massive walls and within their fortresses with their slate-metal doors. Having stood the test of time, withstood an onslaught of drakes and monstrous foes alike, a new dawn awaits the people as the summer sweat melts away the wax blanketing the land. "A Summer Earned in Iron" is a long-term campaign set in an overarching homebrew world. This setting in particular is inspired by Welsh and Breton culture/legend, thrust into an anachronistic dark fantasy setting filled to the brim with intrigue, themes of life and decay, and what begins to emerge from the shadowy recesses of a recovering society. Imagine "Lord of the Rings", meets "The Last Unicorn", and then make it Arthurian Fantasy! Travel from far and wide northward-bound to see just how far the nation has come since surviving a harsh, dragon-filled winter.
