About the adventure

The end must come and you are the force of that change! Chosen by ancient forces to deliver the last ballad to a world already trembling. Your path winds through the Elemental Temples each one alive with trials designed to test your resolve, your cunning, and your willingness to see the prophecy through. This is a game for players who love dungeon crawlers, exploration, high‑stakes survival, and stories steeped in cosmic inevitability. You’ll find this game rewards bold choices and clever problem‑solving. The tone blends apocalyptic grandeur with intimate character moments, inviting you to decide what kind of messenger you truly are: reluctant, zealous, compassionate, or cold as the void. Play is fast, thematic, and cinematic. Expect tense resource management, environmental puzzles, and narrative choices that echo long after they’re made. This is a game for those who lean into drama, and savoring the beauty of a world on the brink. When the last temple falls silent and the message is finally spoken, only then can you rest.

About me

I am a tough but fair GM. When you are victorious you know you have earned it. A fantasy & horror fanatic with a flair for rolling with the shenanigans! I GM/Keep at Elder Gods and Dragons, a TTRPG bar in Melbourne. I am also history nerd which helps me round out the world's of DnD's Curse of Strahd and my own DnD take of Greece Mythology with "Tales of the Windrose" (a sky pirates campaign). It also helps my 1920's based Call of Cthulhu games as well!

Character creation

Creating your character

Session 0 will have us making characters, otherwise I am happy to make some pregens. We will be building them over discord with one another. Please note that you will be taking 3 levels of bard, because after all, you are playing Heralds. Please choose up to Xanathars and not beyond. If you would like to roll for stats rather than point buy, we can use roll20 to roll. We will be creating a playlist for your characters.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Please send me your discord user and roll20 accounts.

Safety

How Sasa creates a safe table

We will as a part of session 0 talk about what you are comfortable and not with, and will also let you know what you won't expect from my games. Players will make an X card in session 0 and I will check at the start of play if we have it. If you need to DM me about themes and topics that come up in the game, I will read at the end of the game and can either discuss via message or enact the change next session.
