About the adventure
It begins with a dream. Every night, you see the same thing: a glowing symbol, hanging in an endless dark. It pulses slow and steady, like a sleeping heart. When you wake, the feeling stays with you. Then you begin to notice it in the waking world. Scratched into old stones you've walked past a thousand times. Hidden in dusty tomes in the back of libraries. When you ask about it, people seem confused. Some get a headache. It is not that the world has never seen this symbol. It is that the world has forgotten it on purpose. This campaign begins at 3rd level and grows into something far larger than the dream itself. You won’t be handed answers. You’ll have to seek them within libraries and ruins, through courts and temples, beneath memories and shadows. The story moves when you do. This is a roleplay-heavy, character-driven campaign where curiosity drives it, choices matter, and the right question can unravel the truth. If you like pulling on threads just to see what unravels… if you enjoy making decisions that shift the course of kingdoms… if you want your character to shape the future rather than react to it... Then this story may belong to you. Because somewhere in the dark, something once worshipped is trying to be remembered. Are you brave enough to listen?

About me
Hi! My name is Ethan, and I'm hopefully your new GM! I have been GM-ing for 5 years now, and it truly is my passion! I started Gm-ing because I was having a tough time finding a table to play at, and figured I'd make one myself! That decision has turned into multiple tables, full length campaigns, and some of the best memories I've made. I am a lifelong nerd, a military veteran, and a father. I can't wait to see what kind of stories we can tell together!
