Hey all, welcome to the blog! I've decided that I'd like to contribute homebrew 4th edition content to the community on a weekly basis. In order to do that, I thought the best way would be to use ENWorld's blog features.

For the first entry of my 4th edition content blog, I've created a paragon path for an organization that may appear in my homebrew campaign. Enjoy!

Sorcerers of the Twilight Star take their name from a distinct black star that rises in the twilight of the northern sky. It can only be seen for a brief time in the evening, but members of the order believe the star gives them the power to inspire fear and fright in others. These sorcerers can be found all over the globe, hiding in the shadows, manipulating events from unseen places. Perhaps it is best they stay that way, for when they are drawn into the open they are terrible foes.

Hey all,

Now that the site has stabilized, I'm back from my 6-week hiatus and ready to try out this new-fangled blog thing.

I have some plans for this thing. Stay tuned!
