About the adventure

The World of Akroma is filled with spirits...During the age of symphonies, you can hear their songs throughout the forests, the seas, and the arctic tundra. The one place that you do not hear the songs is the desert...In the small town of Stromas the spirits that have been worshiped by the townsfolk for centuries have begun to run amok! A Communion of spirits has been called and jobs have been sent out to all nearby job boards run by the official Guild as well as the Sage's Army to get the best professionals to run and protect these communions. Will you answer the call? Will you find the source of these problems? Find your job on the boards and See how you can help! In this Ghibli inspired world you will be interacting with the armies of mages, the spirits that govern the magics, and the Gods that protect them. Will you answer the call? This is a Level 3 Adventure! Please feel free to make your characters if you'd like to do it on your own! I will also be holding a character creation help session 45 minutes before the session! Also please feel free to ask me any questions that you feel you need to ask before the game! Built for emotional storytelling and dramatic character arcs, Daggerheart is a new fantasy RPG from Critical Role that puts your character’s beliefs, hopes, and fears at the center of the game. Its unique Hope & Fear system creates compelling tension with every dice roll, drawing out dynamic decisions and real consequences. Campaigns explore the inner lives of heroes as they evolve through adventure, loss, triumph, and discovery. Instead of just stats and loot, you’ll build virtues, grow relationships, and face personal challenges that matter just as much as world-shaking battles. Whether you're chasing a cause, mending a broken past, or redefining who you are, Daggerheart supports meaningful change and collaborative worldbuilding. Expect a journey that is as much about who you are as what you do.
