Eye of the Storm

About the adventure

Aevria is a classic medieval fantasy world that, depending on where you go, slips into a bit of dark fantasy here and there. It's a high-magic, high-adventurer-culture world that runs the gambit of settings, from the stale ale stained tables of a midland dive bar to the pristine marble and moonstone quarters of the archmages of the southern Sands. You will be a member of an adventuring party, chosen by the whims of destiny and the hand of fate, to enact great change upon the world. Will you be Paragon of justice, illuminating the darkness of this world until there is nowhere else for it to hide? Or perhaps you will walk in shadow, working the purposes of the nefarious, quenching the flames of hope under your boots. The choice is yours. Will you sail the seas, or even the skies, on one of the many magically-propelled vessels of The Wayfinders? Perhaps troll the darkest dungeons of the land in search of the grand plunder of kings past? Or stranger still, walk the planes of existence among the likes of The Silver String? Adventuring is an exciting life, and one that can open up a world of riches, fame and excitement. From the icy peaks of the Frozen North, to the blistering heat of the Golden Sands, there is always opportunity waiting for those brave enough to take it. But take heed, stranger, to the words of one of the most famous halfling travel guides of our time... "Adventurers enjoy the very best of life, growing to control more of society than one would think, or even like, given the revelation. But, still, a great majority of the intelligent races choose to ignore the profession entirely for one simple reason. Of one hundred men, only ten will ever make it to a guild. And of those ten, usually only one will live to old age, or even make it to their retirement. Adventuring is glamorous, exciting, and the very deadliest of professions. An adventurer often reaches the end of their life with many regrets, little surviving friends, and most likely at the sharp end of a sword, or the toothy maw of a monster. Not even the allure of fame, wealth, and power are enough to blind the world from crippling lethality. In short, only the absolute Bravest, and at times, stupidest of men can know what it truly means to be an adventurer. And even fewer can ever know what it means to have BEEN one." -Travel Guide Smittle D. Roofus
