The Ancient Tower of the Grand Wizard Tena'ther has fallen! Adventurers needed by request of the King Vord!

About the adventure

The Propchey of the Tower's fall has finally come to fruition, the nearby lands coated in ash and mayhem from the burning tower. It is unknown who managed to get past all the defenses of the ancient tower, but the tower is still burning, lasting for over a week. The Crimson King of the Crimson Lands, Vord Farntus, has called all adventurers within the blood-soaked lands to investigate the tower as many artifacts, magic items, gold, ancient secrets, and sealed villains dwelled within it before its demise. Those hoping to gain glory, knowledge, power, prestige, or coin have begun the journey toward the tower for the first time in over two hundred years. Will your band of ruffians, outcasts, holy warriors, arcane casters, and thieves manage to survive their journey to the tower? Or will as many tales end within these lands as a bitter story for bards to tell to warn others of the demise of those foolish to travel to the burning tower for years to come? Disclaimer: This is a homebrew module designed for level 1 or 3 starts, going up to levels 10-12, depending on the party's choices and actions. There will be a session 0 that will address character creation, stats, homebrew rules and expand on the premise. The module consists of four major arcs that the party will explore during their travels, but how they trigger or step into each arc will be up to the party's decisions and actions. While this is a module, it will strive to thrive to provide a living world where actions have consequences and a "grey-themed" world where good and bad choices are blurred at times. Party size is intended for 2-5 players; exceeding 5 players must be due to an established group looking to play together. Tools: We will be using Discord for audio (video is optional), a website for audio tracks, and roll20 for visuals. We will be using scripts to ease the quality of life for playing on roll20 to speed up roleplay checks and mechanics in combat. Ai-generated art will be available for players to create their envisioned character as well as for custom art of magic items, NPCs, villains, and locations.
