About the adventure
Cities struggle to defend themselves, small villages vanish overnight, and rumors spread of towering figures reshaping the land itself. The players begin as relatively small figures in a very big world—but one that is increasingly shaped by their choices. While the campaign features grand, world-altering stakes, it also emphasizes personal agency, exploration, and the feeling of being outmatched—at least at first. This campaign uses Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (D&D 5e). The system supports heroic growth from low-level adventurers to legendary figures capable of influencing nations and gods alike. Core rules will be used, with optional narrative-focused rulings to support exploration, social encounters, and cinematic combat. In short, this is a campaign about small heroes in a colossal world, where bravery, wit, and choice determine whether the giants’ thunder heralds the end of an age—or the rise of new legends.
