CAMPAIGN PROLOG: ------------------------------------------- They were not there yesterday. No sailor chart marked them. No scholar spoke their names. The horizon, once empty to the known world, now bore jagged silhouettes, dark shapes rising from the sea like the bones of something long buried and suddenly unearthed. The Mistendveil Isles. It began as a thin, silver veil stretching across the waters, swallowing light and sound alike. Ships that drifted too close reported whispers in the fog, low, beckoning, almost human. Then came the storms, sudden and violent, as if the sea itself rejected what had forced its way into existence. No one knows where they came from. No one agrees on how they came. Some claim they were pulled from another realm. Others insist they were always there, hidden, waiting. What is known is this: they should not exist. Strange lights flicker along their cliffs at night. Creatures not found in any bestiary have been glimpsed along their shores. Compasses fail. Magic bends. And those who have dared set foot upon the sands speak of ruins older than memory- structures that hum with a presence that feels less like history and more like something watching. You are among the chosen or perhaps the expendable. Hired by coin, bound by duty, or driven by something far more personal, you now stand at the edge of the known world, staring into the unknown. The expedition has been assembled in haste, but not without purpose. Supplies are gathered. Ships are ready. Orders are clear: Sail into the mist. Chart what can be charted. Recover what can be recovered. And uncover the truth behind the Mistendveil Isles. The ships depart at dawn and the mist is already waiting. -------------------------------------------

About me
Hi! I go by pipsqueak and I've been playing DnD since I was 12, my first ever campaign was with my family. I've always loved everything to do with fantasy and creating my own characters and worlds. I dm a game of my own currently going strong for one year and had a few games before hand I dmed as well. I grew up on warcraft and fantasy, so I like to think I'm fairly creative and come up with good plots and stories. I'm now taking to start playing to connect with new people and see what it's like to really put myself and ideas out there.

Preparing for the session
Players should have a discord account, roll 20, and dnd beyond in order to play in my campaigns. Webcams are welcomed but not needed. Please have a clear enough mic to be heard during sessions as well.
What Pip brings to the table
I want to provide a bit of everything for everyone, that being said my leading drive for campaigns are story driven. At the session 0 I will be asking what all players are wanting to see while playing the campaign as well so that I can better provide an experience for everything.
