About the adventure
👻Darkness and Obscurity around the continent. 🗻The Land is Dangerous and civilization resembles islands of light surrounded by dread. 🛐A lost Pantheon, there is no gods, only Seraphs and Deamons trying to hold control. 🐀A Sickening Plague infects the land, its origin unkown. 🧙♂️🚫Fear of the Arcane, superstition and prejudice run deep, magic is seen as both woundruous and frightening, the Arcanist Inquisition is dedicated to destroy the wild arts and control the few that allowed to wield its power. 🦇Monsters are rampant, and hunters are needed to track and eliminate them. ^ Thats the world of Etharis in a nutshell, prepare to face brutal conditions and collect a couple of scars while you figure out how to hunt those who lurk in the darkness. This is a world where the strong rules the weak, therefore you must be stronger to defeat the beasts and maybe bring some balance to it.

About me
Hello there adventurer, i see you crave adventure, grab a tankard and let me tell you a bit about myself. Once upon a time, there was a handsome, likeable and funny fella, hanging out with a group of friends, i was there too. We agreed it was time to try out a bit of Dungeons and Dragons shiny new FIFTH EDITION!!!, and yes we yelled the name. But there was no Dungeon Master around us, so i decided i didnt like having free time and took the mantle of what turned out to be... THE FEARED FOREVER MASTER. Now im stuck in this digital world, tasked with entertaining some weirdos who decided they wanted to be un alive, so they became adventurers instead of bakers or medics or veterinarians, i like dogs, they are cute, i will present you with doggos in your adventures, and you better pet them, seriously, the guy who put me in charge said i have the power to control reality or something, he turned me into this gloomy floating head with unattached hands, its creepy, but hey, i can cast cool lightning bolts!. Oh yes the aventure, well i dont know, tell you what, i will ask you and the rest of your party what do you expect to do and i will figure out how to procure said content with my magic hands. I will wait for you in the only dark spot in this tavern, looking at you all mysterious until you decide to talk to me, hurry up tho, the drinks in this bar are expensive and of course you are paying, i dont have pockets!. I also do funny stuff on camera so you can laugh at me. Here is a short video showing off some of the cool features i have for my games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7FFU4rNzkA ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^

Creating your character
ºWe will do it during session 0 ºCharacter starts at level 1 ºYou can also bring your own character already built if you send me a dnd beyond sheet ºStandard array, point buy, or rolling dices (in Foundry) are all accepted ºWe will use Grimm Hollow's advanced backgrounds. ºYou can use pretty much every official source book for your character, but sticking to the Grim Hollow vibe is recommended.
Join this Dark Fantasy adventure to explore an unforgiving world filled with dangerous monsters, terrible diseases, corrupt people, creatures of the night, and lack of resources. Struggle, survive, and see if you can hold your own against this terrible cursed land and their denizens, see if you and your party can be a source of light and hope in this gloom world. You will start at The Burach Empire, in a local town, where your lack of gold led you to accept a dangerous quest regarding some missing people, they want the culprit gone, they suspect it must be some sort of man eating beast, your clues are little, but you have a party of unlucky fellas with you... I expect to build the game around your characters, so lets work on some ideas using the advanced background to have a character driven story!. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7FFU4rNzkA Cool video ^
