About the adventure
Learn to play Daggerheart in this tale of Rebels and Nobles in this epic campaign, where you must delve into the secrets of an Empire that has cut themselves off from the world, yet their actions will send the delicate balance of the fabric of reality into ruin. In the Venshal Wastes, the Varsalian Empire has laid claim, their noble houses setting up a society that fosters kinship against those who would see them destroyed. A safe haven for Humans, Gnomes, Elves, and even new Clanks, the Empire has come to create a new mythical technology, Aethersteel. With this, they have began to prosper more and more, yet the discrepancy between the nobility and the common folk has only grown. A Rebel group has formed to combat against the tyranny, and work to restore the rights and relationships of not just the people of the Empire, but also those who exist beyond its borders. Now, they have come across the true darkness of Aethersteel, which is forged and created from the stolen magic of the Feywilds and the Shadowfell. Can you join this rebellion and restore the balance before the world itself falls into ruin? Touchstones for this Adventure include: Final Fantasy, Arcane, CR Campaign 4, and Lord of the Rings.

About me
Hello! I'm Cain, and I have been DMing for over 10 years now. I love to tell player's stories and help them experience a fun adventure driven by their choices! One of my games is currently mentioned on RPGBot's Podcast, as one of the host's recounts his tales! All games are LGBT Friendly and a welcome space for all! My experience with TTRPGs began with Pathfinder all the way back in high school, and the love for the genre and leading people on daring quests has only grown ever since. I would be honored to be the one to lead you on a journey where you forge new friendships, leave lasting memories, and overcome hardships. You may even learn more about yourself on the road ahead.

What Cain Laurant brings to the table
I bring character voices and excellent roleplay for npcs that you will interact with! I also provide music that keeps the mood high, or somber for those moments of woe. Daggerheart is all about the rule of cool and as am I! Let your creativity go wild.

How Cain Laurant creates a safe table
At session 0, We will use lines and veils to make sure everyone is comfortable. These will be documented for all to remember. We will also have a safe word just in case things start getting too dicey, to be established at session 0. Safety cards will also be in place. After every session, we will have some aftercare and breakdown to ensure everyone is having a wonderful time and if there is anything that can be fixed to make the next game even better!
