Welcome to the Vermillion Isles Behold, the land of the Vermillion Isles, a lone continent swallowed by the depths of the infinite sea. A single beacon of hope for those who survived the Great Drowning and the devastation that soon followed. A continent where its early denizens forged a new world and a civilization of peace and prosperity away from the destructive hands and egos of the deities that once ruled. However, this peace and prosperity would crumble under the weight of the corruption and greed still left over from the cataclysm. A millennia after the Triton Civil War and its unifying empress that would forge the Vir'Akari Empire. Centuries after the second banishment of Dagon and his Rejected Children during the War of the Trench that would leave the Triton race nearly extinct. After the destructive War of the Twins left a scare on what would become the Marsonian Deserts. Decades after the Pherosian War and the inevitable Cold War that followed ushered in a time of peace and prosperity among the denizens of the Isles. Peace hangs in the balance once more as two mighty superpowers eye each other with suspicion and malice. The drums of war beat ever louder, their armies muster, and their general's plot. Our story begins not in the labyrinthine halls of the University of Tritonia's Grand Library or the Deadly inhospitable jungles of the northern Masifi Dominion, nor does it begin in the scum-filled streets of Capcya, the capital of the pirate nation known as the Ratline Cadence. No, this tale begins on the busy docks of Port Pherali with a humble letter pleading to strangers for discretion and aid. This new era of Renaissance teeters on the edge of a cutlass as a foreboding prophecy threatens to spread its evil influence over the Isles. Will you defend the fragile peace that holds the Isles together, or will you join the conquerors' ranks and build your kingdom from the ashes of the old? The realm's fate lies in your hands.

I craft extensive campaigns that unfold over a year or two, guiding players from humble beginnings to epic heroes. Our weekly sessions, lasting 3 to 4 hours, offer a consistent journey through a richly developed home-brewed world. Prioritizing storytelling and roleplay, I aim to balance challenge and enjoyment for all players. Progression in the game is marked by milestones rather than experience points, allowing for negotiation, strategic planning, and engaging combat encounters at your own pace. We embrace the "Rule of Cool" to enhance the game's enjoyment. I design custom maps, handouts, spells, races, subclasses, and magical items to elevate the experience and theme of the world. Our sessions are lively and immersive and utilize dynamic lighting, sound effects, music, atmospheric enhancements, and playful voice alterations. Players can access the Vermillion Isles Legend Keeper Wiki, a central hub for all world-related information and our collective adventures.
