I'm running a fairly episodic campaign based in a rather nebulously-defined homebrew world known as Erathis. The episodes will consist of a mix of new and old material, primarily short adventures from old Dungeon mags and the like.I decided to use Red Larch (renamed "Larchwood") from Princes of the Apocalypse for the starter town, and we kicked things off with the initial series of mini-adventures from the back of the book.Before we begin, though, please allow me to introduce the main protagonists of our story:BERRIAN - male high elf fighter (eldritch knight)An eloquent and sophisticated dandy, Berrian believes it is his duty to protect those who are beneath him (which amounts to pretty much everyone who isn't a high elf noble). Although he is generally an honor-bound and honest sort, he hides a scandalous secret: he once had a drow lover. Fearing exposure, he used the excuse of searching for his family's long-lost ancestral moonblade to escape the stifling atmosphere of the high court. Unfortunately, his younger sister threatened to tell on him if he didn't let her go with him.BHÁRA - female high elf sorcerer (storm)A precocious young elf maiden who has blackmailed her older brother, Berrian, into letting her accompany him on his adventures. She was seriously beginning to feel smothered at home. She's not a baby anymore; she doesn't need coddling! And, of course, being away from home means she might get to actually see her lover, who just happens to be a member of a rival house. Being a noble sure does have its drawbacks sometimes.GILFIDDICH - male human rogue (arcane trickster)A confident young bloke who used to con people out of their coin purses. No, really, he's a swell guy! Way more handsome than his cousin, Tasklar, as well. Don't listen to that phony's stories about how Gil ended up a <s>con artist</s> folk hero because he wasn't good enough to make it into bard school. That being said, there's no one Gil would rather go on an adventure with than his favourite cuz! KARTH - male half-orc druid (moon circle)The last of his tribe, Karth has is a devoted follower of the Old Faith, the loose collection of nature spirits and old gods that were commonly worshipped before the coming of the Andarian Septry. [More details coming soon.]TASKLAR - male human bard (lore)Gil's more handsome cousin, Tasklar is an entertainer extraordinaire. An eternal optimist, he believes that the world needs new ideas and bold action (read: he gets bored easily and causes trouble). He has a quick wit, which he frequently uses to poke fun of his companions.This motley crew of misfits has come to the frontier town of Larchwood in search of adventure ...[sblock=fallen / retired heroes]CALLA - female human sorceress (red dragon heritage)Calla is a sweet, demure young lady ... until you make her mad. Then people tend to get hurt. Like Gil. That was an accident, and while he has no hard feelings (Honest! It makes for a great story about the time he faced a red dragon and lived!), she still wants to make it up to him. She briefly served in an army alongside Keluak and saved his life once, though the gruff dwarf fighter refuses to admit it. Her relationship with Keth is complicated. Best not to get into that.Status: Retired.<s>KELUAK</s> SORREL - male <s>mountain dwarf</s> half-orc fighter (champion)As a new recruit in the clan guard, Keluak got drunk and fell asleep on the job the night the orcs came. His clan was nearly wiped out. But Kel doesn't talk about that. Ever. Neither will he explain why he's probably the only dwarf in existence who doesn't drink alcohol. Instead, he talks about how his clan has sent him out on a decades-long mission to learn more about the world and to become a better warrior. He once served as a mercenary alongside Calla, and he reckons she's all right. He's only just met the cousins Gil and Tasklar, but he already feels like they could do with a proper father figure in their lives ... especially one who can teach them a thing or two about fighting and maybe also make sure they get enough to eat. As for Keth, well, he may only be half an orc, but Kel just isn't sure about him yet. He bears watching. Closely.Status: Deceased.[/sblock]</blockquote>
