About the adventure
Before our story begins, the Order of the Dragon. Led by their new leader, Severin, obtained the five dragon masks and initiated the second part of their plan to release Tiamat: recruiting dragons and assembling a treasure hoard worthy of the queen of evil dragons. A summit that will come to be known as the Council of Waterdeep. Four council sessions take place over the course of the adventure, naturally dividing events into four stages. Between the council gatherings, the characters undertake missions to thwart the cult's plans. NPCs will propose some of these missions during council sessions. The characters can suggest others. The adventurers understand that thousands of lives depend on their actions. The characters are among the greatest heroes of the Sword Coast, and the Council of Waterdeep looks to them for wise guidance and swift action. Many of the power groups represented on the council don't trust each other, and some even have conflicting goals. Over the course of the council's four meetings, the players and characters need to forge this disparate, feuding group into a coordinated force. Only with all factions working together and contributing to the overall effort can enough power be brought to bear against the cult to prevent Tiamat's return. The more successful the characters are in their actions against the cult, the more esteem and influence they gain with the council.

About me
Greetings, adventurers! My name is Ryan (he/him), a Deaf Dungeon Master who thrives on storytelling, emotional arcs, and collaborative roleplay. I run inclusive, welcoming games that prioritize character-driven narratives, dynamic worldbuilding, and player growth. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned veteran, I create a space where everyone’s voice matters—literally and figuratively. I’m bilingual in English and American Sign Language (ASL), and I love working with diverse groups of players—especially those who are neurodivergent, disabled, queer, or otherwise underrepresented in TTRPG spaces. I believe everyone deserves a seat at the table. I’ve been DMing for over 4+ years and even founded the Dungeons & Dragons Club at Ripon High School to bring together fellow fans. I specialize in Curse of Strahd and dark, emotionally rich campaigns—but I also enjoy lighthearted adventures. Whether you’re into gothic horror, dramatic twists, or just making memories, I’ve got you covered. Need accessibility or communication accommodations? Just let me know—I’m flexible and happy to make it work for everyone. Let’s roll some dice and tell unforgettable stories together!
