About the adventure
This is a campaign for players who want: - Meaningful exploration and discovery - Lasting world changes driven by player action - Deep crafting and economic decisions - Political intrigue and faction competition Emergent stories born from player choice, not scripts The frontier is open. The map is empty. What can you build… or seize …. before someone else takes it from you? Building from West Marches and taking inspiration from some of the elements of Xen'Drik, a hybrid campaign. Depending up on your location - either IRL; or online the world of Eberron's high fantasy and Great Houses, meets the ad hoc and flexible party composition of West Marches. A new continent. Unmapped land, undocumented dangers, unclaimed Shards, or something ... else?
