Crypt Of The Everflame - Intro Adventure

About the adventure

Four centuries ago the god of art and music, Kyldos, died. Stories say all of his clerics and followers started going crazy screaming things such as "Music is dead there is no hope!". The music of that time, though quite depressing, was actually very catchy or so I've been told. Everyone has heard the stories of the darkness that followed. High priests and followers of different gods succumbed to madness as their gods stopped responding to them. To be clear, gods dying was not a common occurrence and no one knew such a thing was even possible. Even today historians still question what happened and continue to deliberate the real cause and reason for Godfall. As the different religious leaders and their followers began to point fingers and place blame, another god died, then another, and another. There was no sense of right and wrong up or down and before long a war spanning every corner of the world began. For over sixty years this brutal and bloody religious war claimed an innumerable number of lives. God after god ceased responding to their followers while their followers fought and killed one another lost without guidance from the divine. In the end, of numerous pantheons only nine gods remained along with their followers to pick up the pieces. Even centuries later the toll of the Godfall is still felt. Beyond the countless lives lost so too were art, music and technological advancements. On the Roaring Shores, those who survived the war began to rebuild. Some old kingdoms regained a modicum of their former holdings. At the same time new kingdoms arose, forming from the ashes of those that did not survive. Today these nations hold a tenuous peace, each kingdom doing its best to maintain its holdings. Rumors have it that some are raising armies with plans to push into neighboring kingdoms. Even more interestingly however, new societies have arisen dedicated to trying to discover what really happened during the Godfall sending adventurers into war torn battlefields, old temples and tombs seeking artifacts and knowledge. Other societies however seek to keep the secrets of the past hidden and actively work against those digging into the mysteries surrounding Godfall. Really though, I don’t have to tell you all of this, if you’re reading this then you too are from the Roaring Shores and likely more interested in areas of opportunity to advance your own story, fear not my friend, these pages are filled with all the knowledge you will need to achieve great things in these lands.
