Ashes of a Broken House PbP

About the adventure

On the border of two kingdoms, a minor lighteyed house is trying to hold its place in a world that's coming apart. You play its guards, scribes and sworn servants on the eve of a political marriage that should secure your future; until everything goes wrong, and your home falls. In the chaos you escape with only a spanreed, a handful of spheres and the memory of a broken house... plus one last thread of hope: the missing younger sister, the only surviving heir. The campaign follows you as you travel towards Vedenar, take on quiet jobs for dangerous patrons, dig into who engineered the fall of your house, and follow rumours and records in a long, twisting hunt across Roshar to find her before anyone else does. Ashes of a Broken House is a spy thriller campaign written for fans of the Stormlight Archive. Players should already know the setting; ideally you've read at least the first two books and some of the third. There will be full spoilers for the first two! This is not a setting-intro game; it's meant for players who are excited to play inside Roshar's politics and secret wars rather than have them explained from scratch. This will be done as a play by post campaign, using Discord for communication and Foundry for rolls, maps and character sheets. This is a roleplay-forward, heavy intrigue game: expect coded spanreed exchanges, tense conversations over wine, careful planning before a job, and the scramble when things go sideways. Combat absolutely happens, but it's there when it matters - often as the consequences of your choices or your rolls - and every character will get their chance to shine. Since this is PbP, expectations are important: I am generally pretty active and will post at least once a day (more than likely multiple times a day if required) and I'm looking for players that can reliably do 1-2 posts per weekday, or at least once every two days. More during active scenes would be great, such as combat, and slower stretches are fine as long as it's communicated. I endeavour not to leave anyone behind! If you love Stormlight, enjoy writing characters whose oaths don't always match their actions and want to do the kind of quiet jobs that never make it into the epigraphs, this campaign is for you.
