About the adventure
Daudvor is an ancient being, the remains of a mighty warrior and king from the cold northern lands. When he died, he was placed in a barrow with all his goods . . . and many of his retinue were slaughtered and interred in the tomb with him. A hideously evil and cruel man in life, Daudvor rose, trapped in the Barrow, as a powerful undead, known in his home region as a Draugr. Unable to escape his tomb, he watched the lands nearby through his fylgiur, or spirit animal, a fiendish raven, whose senses conveyed all to its master. Daudvor fumed, becoming ever more wrathful, as other kings claimed his lands, as people not subject to him sealed and grew their towns and villages. But nothing evil remains trapped forever. Tomb robbers recently broke into his barrow, stealing all the grave goods, awakening him from a fitful slumber. Now he rampages across the countryside, an army of undead at his back. He will take back what is his, all of it, and cleanse his land of the intruders: all that lives. Can the heroes stop him before all is lost?

About me
I’m a military veteran (a long time ago), a father of several wonderful children, and an amateur mythologist, poet, and philosopher. I've been playing and running games for 42 years, a partial list of which is on my home page. I’m here to run games, and make that as easy and fulfilling as possible. Wanna see what I bring to the table? https://www.ofgodsandgamemasters.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/@OfGodsandGamemasters for my written work, my voice work, and my actual plays. I can run nearly any game, and that flexibility and wide knowledge improves all my games. I build deep, intense, and well-realized worlds, but my games and stories are player and player character driven and focused. I'll be glad to work with your table to create a custom setting and adventures that are absolutely bespoke and tailored to you!
