About the adventure
Lordaeron has fallen. Tainted and defiled by the undead scourge. The Knights of the Silver Hand have disbanded and divided, victim to infighting and ulterior motives. It is upon the ashes of this once mighty kingdom that a new war threatens to arise. It is to the Scarlet Crusade, one of the successor factions to the Knights that you have sworn yourself. The Alliance may have abandoned us. The Argent Dawn may have betrayed us, but it is the Scarlet Crusade who has not lost sight of the true mission: Liberation for Lordaeron and ensuring a future where no citizen need to live in fear. Or so you thought... 🌐The Scarlet Oath is a homebrew campaign inspired by the rich lore of the world of Azeroth, specifically the Classic era of the MMO World of Warcraft 🙏Navigate themes of dogmatic zealotry, misguided hatred, betrayal and the importance of mercy in the face of evil 💀Fight the undead, unite the nations of Azeroth and bring the fight to the Lich King within the far reaches of Northrend 🗡️Meet and fight alongside (or against) legendary characters from the world of Azeroth and take up ancient artifacts in your mythic quest. 🚨Disclaimer🚨: While I am intimately familiar with the lore of World of Warcraft (having played it for years from when it first came out) this is not a retelling of the game lore. This will be our own distinct canon separate from the game. Please come in with an open mind and creative ideas.

About me
I’m Ash Ely, Dungeon Master, Game Master, Co-Host of the RPGBOT.Podcast, and Contributing Author for RPGBOT.net. I am a professionally trained actor and I have a Masters Degree in Game Design. My passion is guiding players through unique experiences, weird worlds, meeting interesting characters and crawling challenging Dungeons. Combined with my training, I love fully immersing my players during sessions. I love the use of mechanics to create the ideal world, and I love the rules of the game…unless they get in the way of fun. As any good Dungeon Master should, I have mastered D&D. But I love other systems. Within my portfolio I run Powered By The Apocalypse, Call of Cthulhu and Vampire the Masquerade 5th edition. I’m adding Pathfinder 2e to my portfolio and the catalog of titles from Free League. If you’re looking for something either simple or complex, I can work with your group to craft your ideal campaign

Creating your character
We will be discussing character ideas and pitches during our session 0. Stats will be rolled (4d6, drop the lowest). I highly encourage players to stick to the options that are presented in the new World of Warcraft rules expansion for 5.5e (which i will grant access to on dndbeyond). Exceptions can be made if you have a good enough argument. Unless you have a really compelling explanation, you will be required to choose Species aligned with the Alliance (Forsaken are an automatic no). Silvery Barbs is not an acceptable spell in my games.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a discord account and a working mic. A DnDBeyond account, while not strictly necessary, is highly encouraged.

Safety
How Ash Ely creates a safe table
We will go over our safety tools in our session 0 as well as expectations. Lines and veils are extremely important in my games. I do not tolerate bigotry at my table no matter your race, sex, creed, religion, gender identity or sexual preference. This is an LGBTQIA+ friendly table. I also do after care, breaks, check-ins and stars and wishes. It is important that everyone feels safe and respected at my table.
