Grim Hollow: Lairs of Etharis
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
From its deep and forbidding forests, where horrible beasts lurk, to the hulking and impenetrable mountain ranges where lost legacies lie, the landscape of Etharis is formidable. However, the true monsters of this land can be found in the degenerating cities of old, where humanity clings to survival. The world of Etharis is the official world for the Grim Hollow setting. Here, players will find a few familiar and many unique tropes of the fantasy genre. The world of Etharis is divided amongst many factions, though humans have rained supreme over the land. Much of the worlds knowledge is lost, and it's history is shrouded. The land wishes to swallow and erase civilization. The gods are dead, and those who have taken their places are fickle in nature. Plague ravages the land, and magic has become corrupt. But perhaps you can bring light to this pale world, or will you embrace the dark.
Game style
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.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
