Hearts of Ravensdale -- Learn the Game with a Full Campaign

About the adventure

Here in The Dales, peace reigns and always has. Here, the Dalish swing scythes and not swords, cast fertility rituals and not battle-hexes, throw provincial festivals and not decadent balls. Although their verdant lands carry scars and echoes of long-forgotten horrors, most folk pay them little mind, taking for granted the pleasing respite. Unfortunately, this wonderful peace seems to be waning. Merciless raiders from the dreaded highlands threaten the borders, uncanny and bloodchilling creatures of twilight brew mischief and ruin all over, and a mysterious and overwhelming power returns to pursue arcane and distressing ambitions. To face such grave challenges, the slumbering, complacent Dales will have to rouse quickly and forge from its unassuming ranks some unlikely heroes, who must grow and develop quickly if they are to have any chance of preserving their treasured peace. This campaign will be set within The Hearts of Ravensdale setting and draw heavily from the setting book for inspiration, including lore, maps and settlements, cosmology, multiple magic systems, many colourful characters and a tantalising mystery at the heart of it all. It will aim to immerse players, both new and old, into a sprawling yet intimate rustic fantasy, attempting at every possible opportunity to evoke that "tender feeling of the legendary." Hearts of Ravensdale is all about unlikely heroes, accustomed to village living, being faced with never-before-seen dangers, laborious tasks and journeys, and uncanny, mysterious forces. It is about unlikely heroes battling insurmountable odds and the inevitable changes they undergo as the stakes get ever higher. Those adventurers looking for a roleplay-heavy experience that leans hard into theatre of the mind and building images and moments to marvel at will find themselves right at home here. However, you can rest assured, all you combat-oriented players, that there will be many opportunities for enthralling battles and nailbiting showdowns. The Legend in the Mist system, although it strives to do away with number crunching, lacks for nothing when it comes to facilitating thrilling fight scenes, which can be approached in hundreds of exciting ways. Starting from such a detailed setting book as Hearts of Ravensdale truly is a boon for any campaign. As a result of the fully-realised world of The Dales -- its maps and settlements, history and mysteries, might and magic, and factions and faces -- players will have a blast blending into this cosy, fantastical world, and learning what it means to be a Dalish hero. So, if you want to delve into the Legend of the Mist system and explore its endless possibilities, book your seat at the table now and get to daydreaming about your Dalish hero.
