About the adventure

“A mortal ambition can shake the heavens—or burn the world.” 🌹 Theodor Pernet, ruthless and relentless, has set his sights on godhood. Will you rise against him, or succumb to his shadow? 🌹 Journey across the dark and vibrant lands of Veluxendria, navigating dangerous alliances with cunning thieves, ambitious nobles, and forces hidden in shadow. 🌹 Step into Limbo, the haunting realm between life and death, where truths blur and forgotten spirits linger. 🌹 Unravel the tragic secrets of the Hapless, broken souls bound to Theodor’s unstoppable ambition. 🌹 Decide your loyalties carefully—can you defy fate itself and stand against a man determined to ascend as a god? Theodor Pernet, ruthless leader of the Hapless, is prepared to burn the world to forge his divinity. Your journey will test your resolve, morality, and alliances, driving you from glittering royal courts to the heart of the underworld. Cultists, soldiers, and even former allies stand in your path, each battle revealing deeper truths—and darker betrayals. Every choice matters, shaping not just your destiny, but the fate of Veluxendria itself. As the final hour approaches, death and life intertwine, and Theodor’s ascension threatens the foundations of reality. Will you rise against impossible odds, or watch helplessly as a mortal becomes a god?

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will take place as part of Session 0 (or a one-to-one character creation before your first session if joining later in the campaign) so you should not worry if this is your first time creating a character! Otherwise, if you would prefer, there are pre-made characters available for you.

The current party

🌀 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!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

🎲 Before You Join the Game 🎲 Please make sure you have the following ready to go: 🧙‍♂️ Create a Roll20 account – Our virtual tabletop for maps, rolls, and mayhem. 💬 Have a Discord account – We'll be using voice chat here throughout the session. 🎤 Use a working microphone – So we can hear your brilliant ideas and battle cries. 🎧 Have headphones or speakers – To stay in sync with the party (and the DM’s warnings). 📷 Cams are fun, yet optional! – Feel free to turn yours on if you're comfy, but no pressure.
