About the adventure
A century ago, heroes sealed away a demon. Now, magic itself is the tyrant. Y'landrothiel — the shining city in the sky — was born from blood and sacrifice. A kingdom that once trembled under the heel of the demon Tenenfir now floats proudly above the clouds, a beacon of peace, prosperity… and division. Those blessed with magic have risen to rule. Wizards, druids, clerics, and sorcerers lounge in towers of ivory and gold, while the powerless toil in the hanging slums below. The Sovereign Supreme, heir to the old heroes, presides over a fractured empire where spells are currency and power is hoarded like treasure. Beneath the city's glittering façade, resentment simmers. Revolution stirs. Secrets unravel. And now, a new conspiracy threatens not just Y'landrothiel — but the very magic that holds it aloft. Will you fight for the light, seize power for yourself, or watch the city fall? In Y'landrothiel, everyone wears a mask — even the heroes.

About me
I've been weaving fantastical stories and adapting to player chaos in D&D for over a year. My players rave about the worlds I build and the mind-blowing encounters I craft, whether it's fighting a beholder who's an insane chocolatier or learning the pantheon of a Gods from a new land. We have fun, lighthearted adventures, but can delve into dark and suspenseful stories if that's your jam. I roll with the punches (d20s of course!) and love to see players' creativity blossom. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned adventurer, I'm comfortable running games for all experience levels, from intimate gatherings to sprawling adventures. All players are welcome, regardless of background. Let's create unforgettable stories together in a respectful and inclusive environment! Book your first session today!
