About the adventure
The ship known as the Dark Duchess was captained by Rudolph Bluemoon, who stayed aboard to protect his treasure and cargo when the ship ran a ground in the sea of moving ice during a blizzard. The rumors of the near by white dragoness Arveiaturace, ice trolls, and frost giants caused the frightened crew to abandon their ship and captain. It has been about a month sense the ship ran aground. Having traveled with the guidance of a Icewind Dale guide tiefling called Hope, however she refuses to go closer believing the place is haunted. The Sea of Moving Ice stretches out before you, a featureless, frozen desert. Ahead, the smooth white surface is interrupted by a towering ship, its exterior covered in frost.

About me
I am a Player and DM of 6 years and constantly looking for opportunities to improve and explore. I enjoy playing D&D and willing to try other TTRPG's. I am mostly experienced in 5E D&D and 3.5E D&D. I love the game as a whole and seek to bring an encapsulating experience to all who play my games. From heavy roleplay to intensive combat and dungeon crawls. I have tons of ideas, open to feedback, and seek to create a healthy environment for my players.
