About the adventure
Where island-sized Tai-na swim in the ocean, moving whole cities on their back, occasionally meeting, everything can change in an instant, especially one's fortune. The locals, altough aware of other lands, know little about the current situation on the mainland in any given time, therefore, they rarely trust those they don't know. Your Babsk (teacher and patron), Ylbedr sent your group to these waters, to prove yourselfs, and even if you don't turn a profit, gain the favour of the Reshi and their greatshell gods. In this, introductary campaign to the Cosmere RPG, you will have the opportunity to discover Roshar, travel to various islands and learn some of the deeper secrets of the region (spoilers, sadly).

About me
Hi! I've been GM-ing for a few years now, mostly offline though, but i've recently decided to give online GM-ing a try, and my first two campaigns were succesful enough for me to continue this. I like to play aroundwith the backstories of characters, and to simulate a living world, where i try to make everything happen for a reason, and have consequences.

Creating your character
Before the game starts, we will talk about your character concept, how it fits into the world, and what would that mean mechanicly. The foundry module contains all the options that we can just drag and drop onto your character sheet during this call. At the session 0, you will have the opoortunity to create the story of how your group met up, what memories you share, and what do you know about each other's skills. To avoid major spoilers, we will start the story a bit before the timeline of the books. That would mean that Singers would have some limitations, and radiants would be extremely rare at first, altough, as the events progress, those restrictions will ease too.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a discord account, a headset, and a screen large enough to display the foundry vtt. You are also advised to read the first book of the Stormlight Archive, or be willing to have some secrets about surgebinding spoiled by the mechanics of the system.
