Alright, Ive been writing up and writing up my 4e campaign, and all I really have left to do is name it.
However, I am totally at a loss!
I am thinking it would be best to name it in three parts, so, in the interest of conciseness I will just summarize the 3.
Heroic tier:
It is a dawn of a new age, literally. That much is obvious to the lowliest of peasants, there was dark, danger, and blight one day, and sun, harvest, and safety another. The sun comes up earlier and shines brighter, people feel a bit healthier, crops do well, trade flourishes, and the iron boot of the Desonnen Empire descends.
The adventurers get sucked into the resistance movement against the Desonnen Empire, a massive far away empire that is suddenly enforcing huge taxes on all of the established settlements and heavily occupying most of the cities. These taxes have always (relative term) existed, however they have been minimal and ostensibly for 'the protection granted by the Desonnen armies', however, with the recent increase in taxes and troop presence, this sounds less like a reasonable statement and more like extortion.
This portion of the campaign will likely move from Robin hood like shenanigans onto small scale military encounters, culminating in a battle with the urbane (and insane) Lord Hendos Pyonmar for control of the city of Din-Mara, the gate to the North. If control can be taken of Din-Mara, the adventurers and their allies would have strategic control of the only pass through the mountains large enough for Desonn to march a retaliatory force through, thus snatching the southern lands from Desonnen grasp and making it too financially and militarily draining for them to take it back.
I guess thats all I'll type for now, any suggestions for a campaign name would be welcome. I will provide any additional info to, and continue if people like this/ are helpful with the name.
Thanks!
