About the adventure
⚔️ The Chain Regroups Once the most feared mercenary company in all Orden, the Chain has fallen on hard times. Beaten, bloodied, and diminished, it retreats to Aendrim—the Rising West—to lick its wounds, gather new soldiers, and plot its revenge. 🗡️ A Land of Politics and Treachery Even weakened, the mere presence of the Chain in Aendrim shifts the balance of power. Rival lords, barons, and factions circle like vultures, each scheming to bind the company’s steel to their cause. Surrounded by deceit and backroom deals, the Chain’s survival depends on shrewd choices—and the strength to enforce them. 💀 Soldiers of Fortune The Chain are strangers in a strange land. They bury their doubts alongside their dead, knowing only this: a contract is sacred. To fight for gold, for honor, or for survival—it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the terms are met, come hell or high water. The world doesn’t need heroes. It needs professionals. Welcome to the Chain.

About me
Hello there, adventurers! My name is Michelle and I have over a decade of TTRPG experience and multiple years as a Pro-GM. Tabletop gaming is a passion of mine, and I use it to lead players and their characters through unforgettable journeys. Outside of tabletop I enjoy gaming, going on walks with my dog, playing with my cat, reading, and spending time with my partner!

Creating your character
Characters will be created collectively during session 0! I can provide pre-made characters if you prefer not to craft your own. I can also help create characters after session 0. We will also delve into discussions about how the group is interconnected, character aspirations, group goals, and player and GM expectations. I will be addressing any questions related to lore, background, etc.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Must be 18 years old or older. A good microphone or headset is appreciated. Cameras are optional, and I will not be using one. You must have a stable internet connection, as well as a PC or laptop capable of running FoundryVTT. Check the "Prep Materials" Section on Startplaying once you've joined the adventure for a link to the Discord!
