About the adventure

Upon the Shores of a Great Lake stands a mighty city forged by struggle and strengthened by conflict. Governed by the church and ruled over by an immortal Demon King only known as “the Sovereign”. A group of newly freed indentured servants set out to prove themselves worthy of prestige, glory and wealth in the Sovereign’s lands. They will soon find out that no one becomes a legend alone. Will they rise to the challenge, and make a name worthy of the Sovereign’s grace, or will they discover true freedom at the cost of everything they hold dear? Enter Draconus-Entertainment’s newest world or Novigoth. Travel the diverse landscape of the Kingdom of Kartos on the continent of West-Harshard, formed from the shards of a moon which once threatened all life on Novigoth. Encounter dangers foreign and domestic, searching forgotten halls of early civilization, and the unexplored depths that may hold secrets to wealth and glory. But be weary, the protection of the Sovereign’s Authoritarian Empire does into extend beyond her shores. Across a chain of treacherous and fantastical islands lies the Kingdom of Remere, the sworn snemy of all who live within the Sovereign’s domain. A constant threat to the way of life in Kartos. An endless war fought over millennia awaits a new generation of legends. Out of Character: World of Novigoth: Nightmare's is the second module of a total of five adventures that make up a 1st to 20th level campaign. This module will take the party from 5th level to 10th level, and is designed to support players new to Dungeons and Dragon, or homebrew settings. It has options for more difficult version of the dungeons to provide a challenge for veterans of the game. This Module is largely investigative, and puzzle focused with fair combat but more Roleplay/intrigue focus overall. The setting is a high magic, dark fantasy world which brings difficult moral choices, dangerous dungeons, and fantastical sights to players as they travel the Kingdom of Kartos in service King, and country. Encountering interesting NPCS, challenging monsters, and exploring hidden and dangerous places. This setting is ethically grey and presents a darker fantasy world where the lines of good and evil are blurred. No Citizen is without shelter or goes hungry. Wealth is within the grasp of anyone with the skill and drive to achieve it, but to provide these opportunities the Sovereign’s laws must be upheld, without exception. Players will begin in the Capital City of Darshk, in the Kingdom of Kartos in the aftermath of a bloody battle -one of many in the near endless war with the enemy nation of Remere. Soon after they will embark on a journey to the Dark elf Under valley in the depths below the surface lands. Here they will meet with the High priestess of the Dark trinity and be asked to put their skills to the test in unravelling a mystery most foul which threatens not only the Dark elves but the entirety of the sovereign's lands.
