Ravnica, the Eternal City: Civil War [Beginner Friendly]

About the adventure

Ravnica, the Great Plane, the Planet-City, and City of Guilds, has long functioned around the peace brought to its 10 Guilds via a magical living document: the Guildpact. The Guildpact, created during a time of great warfare, arcanely enforced the laws of Ravnica to prevent Guild from gaining advantage over one another via an almost karma-like magic. The idea that any ill-intended move made against another Guild may result in misfortune upon your own house kept the Guilds in check for 10,000 years. At the Decemillenial Celebration of this 10,000 years of peace, the Guildmaster of the secretive House Dimir launched a coup against the other Guilds - which resulted in the shattering of the Guildpact. Ravnica was thrown into chaos and the magic that spent thousands of years keeping peace...vanished. Twenty years following the fateful events of the Decamillenial, and Ravnica has barely scraped itself together. A group of officially guildless volunteers from each Guild have been elevated to the rank of Peacekeeper: an organization dedicated to upholding the laws of Ravnica where the Guildpact once did. However with rumors of Peacekeeper corruption sweeping through Ravnica, the Guildmasters must turn once more to the noble few heroes lingering among the masses of Ravnica and pray that when they're found, they can produce a miracle. Ravnica, the Eternal City is a level 3-15 campaign where you'll explore the planet-wide city of Ravnica, uncover clues, mysteries, and conspiracies as you and your companions work to prevent a catastrophe that could spell the end of the City, the planet, the plane. Ravnica needs YOU!

How to prepare

All you need is a mic, a discord, your trusty computer, and some theatre of the mind. As always, beginners and new players are welcome, so we'll be starting the whole process together to make things easier.

What I provide

Foundry VTT, custom battle maps, fun NPCs with art, safety tools, reference material and sourcebooks, and a deep love of storytelling.

Gameplay details

The adventure features themes of darkness, extreme cold, murder, isolation, and paranoia. - Lines: This game will not contain physical violence towards children, unwanted sexual contact, animal abuse or cruelty, party-initiated torture, inter-party violence, inter-party betrayal, as well as any other Line any player wishes to add. - Veils: Cannibalism, mental assault, kidnapping, enemy-initiated torture, or parasitic invasion will be "veiled" off-screen (fade-to-black), as well as any other Veil any player wishes to add. If at any time you don't feel comfortable with the content or direction of the game, you may throw up the X, N, and/or O cards we will go over in Session 0. We can stop the game and address your concerns in a way you're comfortable with. For consent and comfortability purposes, I only allow for flirtation/some seduction and do not roleplay sexual encounters.

How will character creation work

I will provide reference material leading up to Session 0 so that we can all build the party together and understand how everyone came together as a party. There are some backgrounds that BETTER fit the Icewind Dale setting, but that doesn't take anything off the table. As it is hard to include in this setting, I will not be including any Eberron content. But feel free to chat with me about other options if you'd like! If you already have a character you'd like to introduce to the frozen North, send it to me!
