When Empires Fall...

About the adventure

When Empires Fall... is a high fantasy narrative that follows the story of how an elvish nation came to power 4,000 years ago and how it will fall 4,000 years later. The Eveorian Empire, ruled by House Everwyn, will fall...how will you take part in that downfall? Key Features of this campaign - Moral Ambiguity: Situations in which there is no clear moral response or action. - Political Intrigue: Navigate complex alliances and betrayals within and between nations. - Diverse Playstyles: Engage in diplomacy, espionage, or combat, shaping your character's path based on your preferred playstyle. I value tactical skirmishes with players. I find it fun when the players have me deafen so they can plot and scheme. I get wrapped in story telling with players as well! A player with range who can roleplay tense scenes, share the spotlight, and have fun is always welcomed. What about puzzles? I got those too. Riddles, traps, and puzzles riddle the game. Setting Lore: Our story takes place on the continent of Ethad, home to the Eveorain Empire, ruled by House Everwyn, the royal Elven Dynasty. This dynasty has ruled for 4,000 years. They came to power shortly after the Crown Wars, a war fought by those who sought to rule over the lands after the Celestial Proclamation, an agreement that the gods would not directly interfere with mortal affairs. It is Emperor Aurelian Everwyn’s rule. It has been 106 years since Emperor Aurelian was crowned. And since then, he has decreed vast changes to the Empire. Under his rule alone, humans have been given lordly titles, a change that hasn’t occurred for 1,000 years, not since Gnomes and Dragonborns were validated as nobles. Emperor Aurelian has been under scrutiny ever since this decree. In the current setting, the Eveorian Empire is threatened by many things. Noble Houses plot and scheme to power, resources dwindle as refugees flock to the Empire from a growing darkness in the far west, the population of the empire grows and diversifies...threatening the traditionalist elf perspective, and the Drow fight their own struggles against a growing power plaguing the Underdark. At Session 0, we will create characters grounded in the setting of the world; characters that will find themselves intertwined with the fate of the empire. I will provide intricate setting lore that will allow you to drop your character into a world teeming with possibility. My goal is to recruit players who are committed to telling a story, sharing the table and spotlight with others, having laughs, and maybe some tears here and there. All experiences are welcomed! Join us for: - A diverse array of encounters, spanning from diplomatic negotiations to epic battles against ancient foes. - Engaging storylines that dynamically respond to your choices and actions, ensuring an ever-evolving narrative. - A grand saga unfolding over multiple sessions, culminating in a journey that tells the downfall of the Empire.
