About the adventure
The flying city of Eileanar is the crown jewel of the Netherese Empire, but in recent days it is losing some of its shine. Its founder and ruler, the Archmage Karsus has stepped away from governance to dedicate himself to his arcane experiments, and as a result law and order has begun to deteriorate throughout the city. But let's not focus on that, it is now the Festival of Karsus! A day of celebration dedicated to the genius who raised the city from the mountaintop, games will be held in the Coliseum in his honour, performers can be found on every corner, rare displays of piety, and magical wonders abound! And this year, Archmage Karsus has promised a new Wonder that'll bring the city untold glory, but he has not yet revealed what this Wonder shall be... Your party are over a thousand years separated from the height of the Netherese Empire and the calamity that destroyed the ancient flying cities, but when you find yourself walking the streets of Eileanar you quickly realize you need to find a way home before you become buried underneath the doomed city. This few-shot takes inspiration from Critical Role's Calamity and Downfall mini-series, the players must navigate trying to survive the calamity they know will befall the city by returning to their own timeline safely, while not risking affecting the timeline.

About me
Hi! I'm Apollo, I'm an Irish voice actor. I run games for everyone from newbies to experienced players, I love roleplay-focused games and tactical combat. I obsess over worldbuilding and want to create stories that make people feel empowered to take on the world. My favorite genres are high/urban fantasy(LOTR/Percy Jackson kids RISE UP) and horror, let the chaos begin!

Creating your character
Character creation will take place together during the FREE Session 0, during that call after we go over table expectations and Safety Tools we will discuss creating characters as a table! I would love for each player to approach with 1-2 ideas for characters and what you're most excited to experience in this few-shot. As a table we will then see what character concepts are the most interesting for us, and create the character step by step.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to make a free D&D Beyond account for both your Character Sheet and the Virtual Tabletop (VTT). Knowledge of the game's rules ahead of times is preferable, but not mandatory, you'll learn as you play!
What Apollo brings to the table
I'm a voice actor, so expect many voices at the table! In addition, my library of D&D books will be made available to you during character creation and throughout the campaign. The complete Czepeku collection of Battle Maps, Animated Scenes, and Character Tokens during sessions. Music and SFX streaming from Monument Studios.

How Apollo creates a safe table
I have a Lines and Veils document I use for all my games and this alongside all other safety tools will be gone through during Session 0. In addition, players can contact me any time during the session or in between to bring up any concerns or issues.
