About the adventure
Your player characters will begin as citizens of the Holy City of Elturel, living your lives under the protecting light of the second sun that sheds the Morninglord's glory over all of Elturgard. Your adventure will take you to Avernus, the first layer of hell, where you will fight to survive and maintain a hold on who you are and all you hold near. No one leaves the Hells unchanged. This game will feature curated background music, handcrafted custom maps, a heavily rewritten story, premium npc tokens, and a hell of a good time for all!

About me
Hi, my name is Alek. I am in my mid-20's and live in Quebec with my fiancee and our many animals. I have a lifelong passion for music, fantasy, and roleplaying games. I started off playing loose fantasy roleplaying games with my siblings as a very young child, where we would live out stories inspired by our favourite fantasy heroes. I started playing D&D weekly in high school, and have been a player and dungeon master in a few different groups since. Currently, I run several weekly games online and in person. Running games excites me because it allows me to relive the feeling that those wondrous (imaginary) adventures of my youth inspired in me. I hope that I can share my joy with you!

Preparing for the session
