About the adventure
Before the conspiracy, before the betrayal, there was a grand civilization at its peak. The gleaming towers of the Amber Reach soared ever higher and could command a view even to the distant Silk Valley. Proud ships fished in the Passion Seas, and prosperity reigned from the Celsian Athenaeum across to Okros... But not all were content with things as they were, and conspired for more power. The Great Seats of the Aetherlords across the Halcyon Domain began to draw blood against one another, the sacred Ordinants began acquiring more worldly power, and the rule of God-King Othedias began to falter. You are a team of investigators sent on a simple task to solve the murder of Aetherlord Pettiwell, but when clues emerge pointing to a larger conspiracy, you will be put in the center of a plot that will lead you to a darkness that cannot be denied...

Creating your character
We will create characters during our FREE Session 0! Ahead of time, please check out the cards and text in the Daggerheart core book or the FREE rules downloads available at Daggerheart.com. In addition to the Core Mechanics and Character Creation options, be sure to check out the Best Practices and roleplay advice throughout the book for Players. Be prepared to come to Session 0 with a spirit of collaboration, a generous attitude towards creativity, and the willingness to try new things. For a good reference on how this will function, consider the Age of Umbra Session 0 as a guide: https://youtu.be/4VyFOXBU8dM?si=CC8NPWrQh6iPfRYz

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure you have a Discord account, a clear microphone, and a copy of the Daggerheart core book (whenever you can). While the Daggerheart core book is not essential to play, the details provided and the excellent advice throughout is very helpful. Plus, the cards that come with are a great reminder for gameplay. The free rules on Daggerheart.com will also suffice.
What Jeremiah | The Direpug Storyteller brings to the table
Above all, I provide a consistent schedule with a game story that revolves around YOU and your choices. I will provide a Discord channel for the Players to talk casually, communicate OOC during game, post character arts, and facilitate voice chat during session. I will have a music bot, a dice bot, and will incorporate artwork into the gameplay. I will stick to rules as written, with a spirit of rules as intended, to make the most dramatically satisfying role-playing campaign that I can. I will sometimes voice act, and I will provide a complex social/political narrative with an array of unforgettable NPCs, dangerous encounters, and the fate of nations on the line.
Homebrew rules
I may employ a loose set of turn tracking rules if I need to help ensure shy/less loud Players get a fair turn at the Spotlight, if needed.
