Ekotry, The Floating World of Wonders

Dungeons & Dragons 5e on Discord, Roll20

About the adventure

Welcome to Ekotry, the floating world of wonders! This homebrew world is completely disconnected to the forgotten realms, with a unique geography, history, society and cosmology. Let me introduce you to this project of mine. Ekotry is composed mostly by air, with a hot molten core at the center and small floating islands spread around the world. The islands can be found isolated or gathered in archipelagos. Civilizations usually prosper on the various archipelagos, creating small self-sufficient communities. The extreme distance between all these archipelagos prevents the creation of states or large political powers. Ekotry is a peaceful world, without wars or conflict between these communities. There are no other planes of existence, no demons, devils or aberrations that could harm the citizens of Ekotry but there are still many dangers in this unpredictable world of air. (Or so it seems) Our story begins on the Trinule Islands, your homeland. You were all born here and this is where your journey will begin. As you enter the tavern you sense the smells of roasted meat and goat stink that cover the sweet subtle scent of honey. Sounds of laughter and chatter fill the air, some in a more drunkish state seem to be at the beginning of a song. People, dressed in goats furs and leather, exchange stories near the unlight fireplace of this warm summer night. As the sun slowly sinks outside, candles are lighted and fill the rooms with their small lights. The Trinule Islands are just a handful of landmasses, each connected by some small rope bridges. Their main resource comes from the goats that prosper in these rocky and grassy islands. Beekeeping is also another source of food and income, as the wax is used in the production of candles. Each year, pilgrims and tinkerers stop by these islands on their travels with their hot air balloons and trade with the community for materials and tools. On each island you can find one or more families living together, having their own little homes and farms, depending on what kind of terrain they have. One rocky island has a constant stream of water all year long, there you can find the tanner, the woodcutter and the water supplies. Inside the thick woods, you can find Granny, an old hag with her goats. She is a respected member of the community as herbalist, medic and veterinarian even though she is the subject of many children's bedtime stories. Another source of scary stories: the old wizard’s island. One upon a time, a wizard moved to this archipelago and built his home upon a tiny rocky island, far away from the others and surrounded by dangerous winds. In exchange for their hospitality, he taught the villagers how to write and read and built a tiny library for them, with even an arcane book for the smartest. One night he disappeared and never returned, until to this day, no one ever managed to reach his house.

How will character creation work

This campaign starts at lv1 and is divided in narrative arcs, the first one will be set on the starting archipelago. The second story arcs will depends on the character choices and will be an open world exploration adventure. Everything that is D&D official material can be used. UA material allowed only after the consent of the DM. HB material is not allowed. There are some changes and restrictions for the races and subclasses that are written below. Tahsa's Cauldron of Everything changes to classes are accepted. Players that already have a character idea in mind, after the session 0 where I will give even more information about my world, can start finishing their backstory and character sheet on roll20. Race Restriction: Aarakocra, Tritons, Winged Tieflings, Sea Elves, Aasimars, Gith and Yuan-ti Pureblood are not playable races. Custom lineage cannot be chosen. Many races have a different lore in this world especially Loxodons, Tieflings, Kalashtars, Elves and Dragonborns. Dragonborns have tails and have a direct bloodline with dragons. Kalashtar don’t have a quori, when they sleep they find themself in another terrible dimension filled with horrors that no one else can see. They have this curse that some kalashtar see as a blessing. Tieflings don’t have a devil bloodline, they are very rare and they are treated and seen as mutated mistakes of nature by most people. People fear them or hate them, because there is nothing like that in this world. No one really knows why some babies are born tieflings, but there are a lot of myths that range from flawed science to magic theories. Tieflings are persecuted by clerics of Thelet, killing anyone that they find. Loxodons have a bloodline directly connected to Hollyphants. Elves can live much longer then 700 years and no one in the world has seen an elf dying of old age. However, elf newborn are so rare, they are considered a miracle of Gallera. Half-elves are instead very common. Class restriction: Fiend and Old Ones warlocks and Aberrant Mind Sorcerers can be chosen, but the origin of your powers are unknown to your character and such powers are seen as dangerous and alien to the common folk, and directly hunted by the Clerics of Thelets.
