About the adventure
Welcome to a world that begins in comfort and quiet, where life is measured by shared meals, village festivals, and the changing of the seasons. Here, in your home among rolling hills, whispering forests, and lantern-lit rivers, every day brings a small adventure: tending to neighbours, exploring old ruins, or unravelling the harmless mischief of sprites and wandering tricksters. It is a game of hearth fires, friendships, and laughter ā a story that starts in warmth. But beneath the surface, something stirs. Old songs drift on the wind that no one remembers teaching, strange symbols appear on stones and driftwood, and animals watch with too much knowing in their eyes. The world beyond the fields and forests is shifting, and soon those shifts will reach your doorstep. What begins as cosy and familiar will not remain so for long ā the same forces that shaped your peace now threaten to tear it apart. This campaign is about the fragility of comfort and the choices we make when chaos comes calling. Itās a game for players who enjoy roleplaying the bonds of community, savouring smaller stories of home and hearth, but who are excited to see those comforts tested against strange, volatile, and sometimes terrifying forces. Weāll move slowly from slice-of-life adventures into mysteries, escalating dangers, and eventually full-scale upheaval, where youāll decide whether to preserve the cosy world you once knew or embrace the storm that follows. If youāre looking for a story that starts warm and whimsical but grows into something wild, volatile, and unpredictable, this is your adventure. Come light your lantern, join the festival, and step into a world that will never be the same again.

About me
Hi, my name is Kan, and I love writing, reading and playing fantasy games. I have over ten years of experience playing roleplaying games and have been an active member in the D&D community for five years now. I study Creative Writing and English Literature at the University of Leeds in the UK and I'm the president of the DiceSoc (TTRPG Society) where we run weekly games for our members to enjoy. I consider myself very patient, flexible and accommodating to both new and experienced players, and love teaching the world of D&D. Aside from being a DM, I am a lover of writing and poetry, which I include in games as my way to freshen up puzzles and lore.
