Blood And Snow

Dungeons & Dragons 5e on Discord, Roll20

About the adventure

The Edge of Faith or just simply the Edge is named such because journeys often are viewed with an edge. An ending. The people of the Edge, however, know that these edges are merely a matter of what we can see and know what to be true. The people though believe that there is much more beyond sight and present knowledge. There are so many questions about the sphere of Turea and what surrounds it. In the land of Manaula on the Sphere Turea, danger is everywhere. If you are lucky enough to not have to deal with the bitter cold of the outside frozen tundra, you’d be still in danger within one of the “Ten Tribes.” Where it is true that the Mesoa People are one under their religion serving their God under the same name as their continent, there is debate on how you should praise him. Some offer gold to the Underworld where he is said to be living on a frozen throne. Some offer entertainment, from drink and sexual offerings to fits of physical labor or warlike games that pleases Manaula in his times of monotony. The last Tribes give up what none really have the authority to, but many do anyway, death. From criminals to the old and weak, these lives and souls are given over to Manaula to serve him. You will be playing newcomers to Manaula, one of the first ships to even head this far into the North. Be it as a crewmember, part of the exploration team, or a stowaway of the White Wyrm, a famed “Ice Cutter” ship. It is my intention to have this be an even spilt campaign between the three pillars of play.
