Throne of Skyborn [DnD 5e] [Homebrew] [Beginner Friendly]

About the adventure

You were born beneath starlight, among clouds that never touch the earth. High above the world you called Evathe, floats Valhalla, a vast and living sky-realm crafted by Amerta the Great, the Celestial Sorcerer. Mountains drift among the heavens, oceans hang suspended in the air, and ancient forests bloom with magical beasts and sentient plants. This paradise was built to protect his wives, his descendants, and his legacy. A nation raised in the sky. For generations, the 15 noble bloodlines, each founded by a different race, lived in harmony, nurturing their domains and guarding ancient relics. But now, that harmony teeters on the edge of collapse. Now, whispers of prophecy stir. His final wife, a mortal woman named Layla, has borne mysterious twins. The celestial relics have begun to awaken. And factions across the 15 Houses prepare for a succession that could either unite the sky... or bring it crashing down. As one of Amerta’s descendants, you must navigate magical dungeons, political intrigue, and divine mysteries.
