About the adventure
A century has passed since the gods abandoned your realm leaving it shattered, desolate, and eternally cursed. Throughout this shadow-choked land of decaying fortresses and dreadful monstrosities, surviving communities cling to hope in the face of lightless oblivion. You’ll play as heroic survivors who protect their community from the terrors beyond their walls, venture out into the unknown to hunt the nightmares that twist and grow with each fallen soul, seek answers to the curses that corrupt this world, and perhaps even discover a way to change its fate.

What Mike_d20 brings to the table
I see tabletop games as a great opportunity for catharsis. We're here for different reasons maybe to learn something about ourselves, turn flaws into strengths, explore new aspects of yourself, or just escape from your daily struggles for a while. Whatever that is for you, I want to help bring it out in this space and have a good time while we do it. I provide visual aids and detailed maps as needed. I also select music for each session that's played through discord so we can all jam to some appropriate tunes.
