About the adventure

Centuries ago, a powerful dragonward was cast over Waterdeep to protect the city from draconic conquest. But now that ward is fading, and because of your connections to the Lord’s Alliance, you have been summoned to undertake a quest to save your city from ruin. The Open Lord has entrusted you and your companions with a rare and precious jewel—an essential component of the dragonward itself. To restore its fading power, the jewel must be rekindled by attuning it to the hoards of ten distinct dragons. But time is running out. Whispers speak of a terrible wyrm that once sought to claim Waterdeep beginning to stir once more. If the jewel’s power is not restored soon, Waterdeep will surely fall beneath the horror of the undead dragon.

About me

⭐ 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞: https://www.gmshyann.com/ Hi! I’m Shyann & I'm just your average spellcaster! I work as a professional game designer who loves creating and developing adventures, monsters, and magic with code in Foundry VTT! Over the years, my higher education in theater and improv has shaped my storytelling style, and my professional experience as a front-end web developer has led me to curate the ultimate virtual tabletop experience. But what I love most is bringing stories to life with the friends at my table. My priority is providing a safe place for you to get outside your comfort zone to discover a fun, new way to be yourself. I want to help people expand their imaginations, embrace their inner power, and attune to their highest selves, just like real heroes!

Character creation

Creating your character

Do not bring a finished character to Session Zero. Bring 3 loose ideas and a willingness to change them, if needed. Character hooks for this campaign have been specifically designed to create a unified party with players directly tied to the events of the campaign. While the terms of these character hooks are non-negotiable, players have free reign to design any character they wish within those narrative bounds. During Session Zero, you will be given a Google Form asking a few important questions about your character. We will discuss as a group who everyone wants to play, and nail down who they are as a character first. Once your form is submitted, you will be granted access to the VTT and a character sheet for you to begin making your character mechanically. You will have up until your first play session to finish your character sheet. Mechanically, characters can be made using content from the 5.5e Players Handbook and Heroes of Faerûn. We use Standard Array, Average HP, and we do not multiclass. Players unfamiliar with Foundry VTT should watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibMQVYeCy_Q
