About the adventure
Neverwinter. The Jewel of the North. Yet, even here, the dark clutches of fate remains relentless. As a plague known as the Wailing Death plunges the city and neighboring regions into chaos, a call for a hero has been issued to be the burning beacon of hope needed in these desperate times. That call for help has reached you and you have answered that call. After having to travel to Neverwinter, you will learn under the brightest minds of Faerun, experience the wealth of master craftmenship found with the northern trading capitol, and train to explore the long-forgotten history in the city's depths. Delve forth to discover the truth behind this sickness and the dark forces behind it. In this tale inspired by the old Neverwinter Nights games you can: š Experience realistic NPCs with goals and flaws in a world that dynamically changes depending on your actions! š Purchase magic items or have custom items crafted with a customized crafting system! š Experience a full story that takes you from a classless start to becoming a being of legend, integrating your story into the narrative to leave your mark in history. Neverwinter awaits you, adventurer. Heed her pleas and venture forth. The realms of magic lay ahead.

About me
Some dragons hoard gold. Others hoard gemstones. While I never will turn down such hoards, I hoard stories - a hoard that grows with each passing day. As a long-term roleplay writer, I enjoy creating new stories and curating prewritten ones to fit the tone or purpose of my stories, parties, and games. I have been type-roleplaying for many years, being part of the forum roleplay groups back in the age of Gaia Online and other similar groups. Since then, I have been writing posts that expressed the inner workings, the active actions, and the pointed conversations of hundreds of complex characters. This is only amplified when compiling them together to form a story that is reactive and interactable from a group seeking the next dawn. I have a corgi familiar named Fenrir who often enjoys giving me the Help action and is a mini-celebrity amongst my players, often having a related npc or party pet that represents Fenrir and his antics. I value narrative context and will do my best to fit the mechanics to the narrative you want. This has led me to curating and crafting custom content - often referred to as homebrew - for several games, players, and even other game masters. I do my best to not include AI generated imagery in my live games, choosing to not use such images for advertisement and actively replacing any edge/unknown cases with commissioned pieces, and often support growing artists in my communities. I also do not use AI in any of my play-by-post messages. This provides a raw experience to my creative inspirations.
