About the adventure
Five years after Zahara's divine intervention contained Morrigan's Blight in Pensitta, four factions of ostracized people resettled the abandoned city. The community there has thrived while undisturbed for five years. Now, in the year 30 AC (After Rakim's Conquest), the city is fracturing due to escalating violent disputes between the factions and the threat of invasion from those who see them as heathens colonizing hallowed ground. Rafiq Tajir, owner and CEO of Tajir Incorporated, has hired a party of mercenaries to reestablish a local headquarters for Tajir Inc at "The Cat's Meow" tavern and inn in the Dreki District of Pensitta. Along with finding Rafiq's missing ring. Who will the party support? Who will they oppose?

About me
I started playing Dungeons and Dragons in 2021 with a the group of friends I play MTG with. We were meant to rotate GM duty but if I wasn't doing it we often weren't doing it. I started with Dragon of Icespire Peak and then I ran Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. I then exclusively ran campaigns set in my own world. I enjoy the collaborative story telling experience of this game. I love coming up with challenges for my players and seeing how they tackle these challenges. I now want to take this beyond simply being a hobby for me.

Creating your character
We should be done building all the characters by the end session zero. If we don't manage to finish all of them by then that is fine we can always finish later. No pressure. I can also provide you with a pre-made character if you're new or in a hurry. The players start at level 3 with an additional 150 gp, one Potion of Healing, two common and one uncommon magic item of their choice. You may spend your starting gold in session zero. The level cap of the campaign will be 16. Character's will level up using he Milestone system. You must use either "Point Buy" or "Standard Array" ability score generation methods. All official races are available. I have one Home brew race I made myself called "Reclaimer" which you can use. All official classes are allowed. All official sub-classes are allowed. All official spells are allowed. I have made a few home brew spells as well that are available for use. Only official items or ones that I have made will be allowed. If I didn't make the home brew it is unlikely I would allow it. If you want to work with me to make some new home brew for your character or for the campaign I am open to that.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You should have an account for Discord and dndbeyond. You will also need a microphone of some sort in order to speak in Discord. If you want to use your phone for the Discord and your PC for the VTT that is fine.
What Chris brings to the table
The session zero is free. I have a Master Tier subscription on dndbeyond. I own a lot of the most popular 5e books on there including the new 2024 (5.5e) books. These will all be shared with you upon joining the campaign. The combat will start relatively simple but will continue to pose a greater threat as the party advances through the campaign. I will stick to the rules for the most part but there is always room for some "Rule of Cool."
Homebrew rules
You can not avoid malnutrition using conjured food or drink. This is so that wilderness survival is not trivialized by certain spells or items.
