Whats North of Noros? High Fantasy + Horror Elements! [Lvl 3-20]

About the adventure

Cold winds flow through your hair, the sound of moving wagons fills the air. As you are seated on a freezing wood bench you ask yourself how did you end up here .. chained. By one means or another you have found yourself imprisoned and in the process of being transported to a blacksite run by the Xaedor Empire. What horrors will you face north of the northern most continent where no cartographer has stepped foot. But most importantly will you live to tell the tale of your escape. The campaign is set in the world of Luminath. A campaign setting worked on by me where you will find yourself immersed in a high fantasy world with lovecraftian horror elements. The players will start as prisoners of the Xaedor Empire, a name which sends shivers down the spine of every man, woman and child. They are notorious for their cruel behaviours and war like culture, the only thing stopping them from invading the rest of the known world is the Divine Wall a massive mana structure seperating the continent of Noros from the rest of the great kingdoms. As the players get shipped off to a black site run by the Xaedori they will face moral dilemmas, boss fights and horrors out of this world. Luminath is a realm filled with magic, the lack of gunpowder has caused its people to adapt to a new resource - Arc Crystals. Crystals filled with magic which can power all kinds of machinery from the airships hauling people across the seas to the lowly oven. The political athmosphere is heavy, to the east lies the continent of Menris where most of the known world's kingdoms lie, tensions are on the rise as the empire that ruled the continent has shattered some 51 years ago. Monarchs cling to power while their families are plotting coups. To the west sit the Twelve Freeholds, city states independent from anyone's rule and earning their freedom by force time and time again. To the north lies Noros a cold, cold place where the Xaedori plan their next attack. And to the south the hostile lands of Xyrath, largely unexplored although efforts are made to understand it further by the archmage Naridor and his moving city.
