About the adventure
💠Lazuline Lies, Cerulean Skies💠High Magic Political Fantasy! King Demorian sits the throne of the Azure Citadel, and his father before him. But now without an heir, a silent contest arises among the nobility of the Dominion. The Overseers of each city vie for the favor of the capital, and after 2 years since word spread of this opportunity, the gentry seeks to covet the attention of the King——convening nearly in its entirety. But at a war counsel, it is not just the garnering of attention on the minds of these houses. Whether you seek allegiance or coin, there is a role to play as the Azure Dominion turns the page on a new era. Aim for power or prestige, play at court politics, or unseat the King and overhaul the succession entirely; the choice is yours. "Lazuline Lies, Cerulean Skies" is a longterm campaign set in an overarching homebrew world. Join this continent-sprawling game where your decisions will ripple across the history of an entire setting. Grapple with gods, kings, and older, more wild threats. Think "Game of Thrones" but with the magic-level of the Forgotten Realms! Picture a Final Fantasy setting but with more investment in the nitty gritty of factions, political structure, and individual plot lines!!

About me
Hello there! I'm Fitz (they/he), and I have been a GM for about 10 years—4 of those professionally. I run weekly paid games, high concept one-shots, and have built up quite the tight-knit community over at what we like to call "Also Dragons". Most of the campaigns I run take place in an overarching homebrew setting, spanning different genres, corners of the world, and differing types of magic and technology. Together they paint a larger picture, each player adding a brushstroke.

Creating your character
Characters creation will happen in call, to allow for discussion of potential backstory connections and to allow consistency with the rest of the party. Nothing worse than a player making a character they are passionate about only to find that it's not a good fit for the setting or the party! There are some other details around equipment and house rules that will be elaborated on in Session Zero and may inform some player choices!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Stable, reliable internet connection and audio quality required. Video preferred but totally optional. We will be using D&DBeyond for character sheets, and Discord for voice, video, campaign tracking, and battlemaps.
What Fitz♦️🍏Also Dragons brings to the table
I have access to all official content on D&DBeyond* as well as animated battle maps which we will be using via a screensharing VTT method. I prefer this approach as I feel it best emulates an at-the-table feel and reduces the amount of tabs and things for people to keep track of! *We will be using mostly, if not entirely, 2014 content. Any new 5th edition material released with the 2024 version of the rules will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Safety
How Fitz♦️🍏Also Dragons creates a safe table
Session Zero allows the players to take the floor, ask questions about the setting, make requests for content they would (or would not) like to see. We will get you oriented with the Also Dragons server, discuss house rules and general community dynamic, and go through content-consent checklists to gauge levels of comfortability with subject matter that may (but will likely not) arise.
