("If you do nothing, it's only a matter of time before they come for you too.") The dragons laid waste to the human empire from above and then created the dragonborn to serve as their emissaries in human lands and to oversee humanity's surrender. Some 30 years later, the human race is still enslaved to the dragons. The dragonborn have taken over the humans' remaining castles and cities. Some humans live as serfs, others serve the dragons and the dragonborn directly, and the rest languish imprisoned in mighty dungeons.Most humans have come to accept their fate. Some believe they deserve their punishment. But a few, particularly amongst the young, believe that it is time to revolt against their draconic slave masters. And they are being urged on by a race of demon-tongued strangers who've arrived from distant shores. The tieflings speak of freedom and dignity and destiny, but one suspects they have ulterior (possibly sinister) motives for their intervention.Will humanity free itself from the yoke of oppression? And if so, will we become a force for good or for evil?That'll be up to the PCs, I suspect. If I run this campaign, I think I'll call it "Dungeons & Dragons." It has a nice ring to it...</blockquote>
