Kressalack's Anthem - Therapeutic

About the adventure

An undead warren. A fallen knight. Death begets death. The cold pierces everything, even the afterlife. He rises once more, but this time with a spark of warmth. Which will burn further, the chill or the flame? You will be his companions, as your choices compose the tune of this requiem; from the barren depths within the Spine of the World, to sites across the Sword Coast. The campaign will follow the players as you join Kressalack, the fallen knight, as he tries to find his path. Will he become a tyrant on a frozen throne or will he be redeemed by the fires within? Will you stay loyal to him or turn your back to his shambling form? Will you become one of his horde, or impress the light upon him? The song of Kressalack begins, and the first notes will set the tone. Choose your instrument. THERAPEUTIC TTRPG The established world of the Forgotten Realms helps keep players' grounded in the act of role-playing. It isn't a boardgame. Players begin to imagine/see a different, wondrous, and mysterious world emerge from the moment they create their personalized character, to beginning their first adventure. This emersion into another world, and the commitment to their character's actions, their feelings, and to what drives them is the first prerogative of any campaign. Feeling out how each player wishes to play their character, is extremely important. There are goals for the table as a whole, as well as individual goals specific to each players' characters. The interactions that occur as a result of these choices, ultimately controls how the campaign progresses. As a result, the players must be able to stay present in multiple spaces at once; each individual must be a player as well as their character. They must strive to identify and work toward completing not only the main goal, but also the individual goal of their character. Of equal importance to "in-game" destinies and ever-afters, are the characters' evolution, developing relationships, and triumphs. These aspects can be directly accredited to the player, encouraging a third possible completed goal.
