Welcome to the Legacy of Alexander Story Hour!
I have eliminated the campaign background from this list. It is now located on my Campaign Webpage
You will find there a description of the world, the characters and some older story hours. I have also included a number of maps of the world and other great info. Feel free to visit anytime.
This campaign is more than two years old in real time. The party completed one story arc in which they rescued the Alexandran Empire from an Undead Army raised by Tychon of Pella, who claims to be the King of Khalkis (the old name for the Empire). They also rescued a strange young man with long white hair named Arin from a glass tube in Khalkis' lair. At the start of this story, they have arrived in Sazon seeking information about Arin's master, Horus, and the Companions of Alexander.
Campaign Introduction:
417 years ago, the Triad, the gods of evil, tried to destroy the free kingdoms in a sudden massive invasion from the mountains of Irmak. They seemed on the verge of success when a little-known noble named Alexander rose to become the greatest general of his era and drive them back. Championing the Seven gods of good, he forged an alliance from the fractious western kingdoms. At the battle of Dranas, he and the great alliance utterly destroyed the army of evil and secured peace and freedom for the west. In the aftermath of his stunning victory, the allies determined never to be caught by surprise again. They elected Alexander to be emperor of all the major kingdoms and arranged for the position to continue. Alexander's own land, Khalkis, had been virtually destroyed in the invasion so it became the seat of his power. Alexander became titular overlord of all the kingdoms and built towers and castles to set watch on the land of Irmak.
That was a long time ago.
Now the kingdoms have fallen back into old habits. With the threat of evil gone, they war with each other and engage in their petty grabs for power. Fantastic creatures known in the ancient days are thought to be myths now. Dragons, and demons are stories for little children. The emperor still exists, but he rules only the lands of old Khalkis now. The Free Kingdoms have not paid the price for their lack of diligence for twenty generations.
Now evil is returning.
The Triad shows signs of preparing another attack from Irmak. While the leaders of the west ignore the threat, the Lady, leader of the Seven, chooses her Champions to fight the rising tide before it is too late...
The characters have been touched by the Lady. They are her chosen champions to serve her and humanity against the coming crisis. They know each other by an undefinable glow of the Lady's blessing on each of them. Some accept her blessing whole-heartedly and become advocates of her in the world. Others resent her influence in their destiny, don't believe their importance, or reject her part in their lives. Whatever their reaction, all the characters are people destined for great things
