About the adventure
The Songs of Caelara is a campaign of political intrigue, dangerous ambition, and ancient rivalries, set across the beautiful and majestic elven continent of Caelara. It is a land of gilded courts, ancestral bloodlines, whispered conspiracies, and silent daggers. At its heart stands the Ve’Drin Empire, an ancient and powerful regime that has ruled for millennia through a carefully maintained web of alliances, tradition, obligation, and fear. Seven Great Houses hold dominion over Caelara’s fractured territories. Each is a power unto itself, bound to the others through blood, marriage, and ancient oaths, yet forever watching for signs of weakness. Behind every smile lies suspicion, and every gift conceals a motive. In Caelara, secrets are worth more than gold or steel, and even the lowliest servant may possess the knowledge needed to bring an empire to ruin. This is a roleplay-heavy campaign in which the party will become deeply involved in the politics of the continent. Characters connected to minor nobility, influential families, royal courts, military orders, religious institutions, or other powerful factions are strongly encouraged, though such connections are not required. Your loyalties, ambitions, and methods are entirely yours to determine. You may navigate the courts through charm, wit, and careful manipulation, or impose your will through fire and blood. Choose your allies carefully, decide what you are willing to sacrifice, and determine how far you will go to claim the destiny you believe is yours. Character backstories must be integrated into the setting, as the campaign will be built around the characters created by the players. Personal histories, family ties, rivals, ambitions, secrets, and unfinished conflicts will all help shape the people, places, and events of the story. -> Homebrewed 2014/2024 hybrid ruleset (You can find the list of changes in the discord. Mostly quality of life changes.) -> Long term Campaign that can end up going to level 20. -> Experienced DM that is versed in high and low level combat and homebrewing content such as items and monsters. -> Eternal campaign taking place in a massive homebrew world where your decisions decide how the lore of the world evolves.

About me
Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with my own imagination and the imagination of others. Imagination is a place where you can take a break from everything for a bit and pretend to be somewhere, someone, something else. I was always creating new worlds or expanding ones I had already created in my head. Soon the closet was stockpiled with cheap note book paper adorned with my doodles, drawings, maps and ideas. Now as an adult, I continue that trend.. just a bit less messy. About three years ago I finally gave DnD a try and immediately started as a DM, building a new and expansive homebrew world with my players as we all learned along the way. Now that world is a 500+ page PDF with still more to go. My obsession with world building clearly knows no bounds and I would love to share either my world or a world created by another (As I said, I also love to explore the imaginations of other people!) with a as many people as I can. <3

What DM Erin brings to the table
I provide my players with the following. • Character voices • VTT and Character Builder • Homemade maps • Ambience and Music • Scenery Expectation from DM. • A player oriented game where choices matter and the game reflects your decision making within the boundaries of the rules. • Commitment. I have been DMing for three years and I have only ever missed two sessions for reasons being of emergency. DnD is my favorite hobby and I look forward to playing every session. • A fun game where sometimes the rules can be bent to make room for a cool moment.
