About the adventure
The seal, bearing the crest of House Tethras, breaks easily as you hastily unroll the parchment. This... this was utterly unexpected. Why would you be written to? Why would that unconventional dwarf involve you? Varric Terhras. His name pierces your thoughts. Love him or hate him, when Varric got himself involved he knew how to draw people's attention. Your gaze is drawn to the parchment and the haphazard and poorly scribbed words that had been written. As you read over it you can hear Varric's voice... Well "hero," Seems we finally have a clue as to where Solas - the Dread Wolf- is headed. Tevinter of all places... Anyways, we are gathering at the Cobbled Swan. Remember, when we come face-to-face with Chuckles... I mean the Dread Wolf, let me speak to him. This doesn't have to end in violence. -Varric You read the letter a few times, attempting to decipher all the meaning from every word, every syllable, every letter. Yet, it was straightforward. The end. It was almost the end of this hunt! You toss the letter unto the desk without a second thought and quickly move about the room, gathering yourself. The conclusion to this endeavor was finally tangible. This matter was to be done. Tevinter and the Cobbled Swan awaited!

About me
Storytelling has always been a passion of mine. Caught within the stirrings of a narrative, one can lose themselves and be spirited away to worlds beyond one's own imagination. Within my 20+ years of engaging TTRPGs I have had the pleasure and enjoyment of being audience to the captivating stories told by my fellow players. It is of little surprise that it is for that very reason that I have come to love being a GM. As a GM I am patient with players; both newcomers and the experienced. I always do my best to provide as much support to the players as I am able. It is a means to facilitate their needs and requirments making them as comfortable as possible to enjoy the gaming experience. Being hospitable breeds comfort and comfort is a key component to an enjoyable evening enagaging a TTRPG. I enagage the players with a means to immerse them within the scene. This will often be done via: emphasizing the tone of the scene with vivid depictions, impersonating the various NPCs which players encounter, delving into the setting that the players may be better acquainted, etc. Thus, if you'd like to sit at my table for an immersive experience please let me know.
