The Roaring Sea, a Pathfinder 2e homebrew Survival Campaign

About the adventure

The setting is my homebrew world, and anyone who signs up will be entering a high-level Pathfinder 2e campaign. This campaign is a great introduction to my world, as your characters will be used to establish the general timeline of the world and may even be used as NPCs in the future. Because, yes, every time I run this short campaign, it means that there is now another parallel universe to the one you're in. Now, the world itself? It's got a long history, but the summary is that there was another war among the gods that saw most of them now dead, three levels of hell are flooded by a slime god and the material realm, fey wild and Underdark are cut off from everything else by two massive walls of magic called the 'Pacts' the gods made these to stop their conflicts interfering with mortals. Now, two hundred years have passed since that calamity, and you guys are wandering in the Southeast Sea in this world. The South East Sea is an area of islands stuck between two small continent-sized nations, the predominantly human Kingdom of Graywall and the Silver Elf Republic. The two sides have been clashing over this area, sometimes alongside deadly swarms of Saughuin and the neutral underwater kingdom of Trincorn. In between all the monsters, warships, and pirates, there lies a strange phenomenon that can occur called 'the roar of the sea', where disaster strikes after a scream can be heard in the sea. While it's rare, and most believe it to be false, a few brave souls have tried to find out its cause, only to be heard from never again. The wizards of the Highmage guild believe that this is connected to the dangerous white rocks. In contrast, Kedian Academics believe it is a natural phenomenon that occurs from weather patterns and residual magic in the air. Only one fact is known: those who hear the scream are never heard from again. No one has survived, and by choice, you guys have willingly signed up to find out the cause of this strange phenomenon. You will start in one nation, either the Republic or Graywall, and it's an important choice, as there are items in one that you cannot buy in the other. After you have done your shopping, you will head out and end up on the island after encountering the disaster. And that's all the information you are getting for now, so if you want a thrilling, high-level adventure that does not last too long and gets you introduced to the world, then feel free to sign up to the session zero and see if it suits you.
