About the adventure

Ostoya is a haunted nation, steeped in necromancy and secret, unholy pacts. This undead plague has created the Crimson Court, the vampire aristocracy that now rules the southern province of Soma, and have thus far held all challengers to their power at bay. The northern border of Ostoya is similarly formidable. Raevo is a secessionist province that has defied the Crimson Court with the help of powerful allies: the mages of the Ravencourt Sanctuary and the undead hunters of the Order of Dawn. The people of Ostoya stands divided. There are those who wish to end the cruel ruling of the Crimson Court and there are those who accepted, that they need these dark powers, in order to make Ostoya safe, from threats beyond their borders or threats that still linger after the gods fell. The campaign is inspired by this very conflict and will be the core for our story. We will explore it from the perspective of both sides, as players create two characters, one who supports the Crimson Court and one, who will try to overthrow them. The game of course focuses heavily on roleplay and the story will be shaped by the player's choices and actions. Will these characters stand against each other in the very end, or band together against an even greater threat? One thing is certain, Ostoya's fate will be in your hands.

About me

Hello there! My name's Viktor, a very dedicated dungeon master! I've been telling stories for quite some time now and I've decided I give pro dungeon mastering a try. I love story telling and my games reflect this a lot. I tend to draw inspiration from all kinds of media. The narrative is the strongest point in my game style along with the NPC's I create for the story. Overall my games are character centric and I love to tie the player character's backstories into my games.

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will happen in session 0. The players will create two characters. A higher level character who is on the Crimson Court's side and a lower level one who is part of the Order of Dawn.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

The players will need to create an account on a website called Forge. Here is where I rent a server for foundry because I had problems with players joining my foundry games.

What Viktor brings to the table

The game will mostly run in foundry where the maps, music, animated aspects will be presented. I run my games with a mix of theater of the mind and detailed maps.
