Description
Pyres of Nocturnus is a horror campaign that takes place on the
homebrewed world of Aquaria. The planet was once mostly water (hence the
name) but suffered a catastrophic magical event thousands of years ago. The
event caused the planet to become tidal-locked with its sun: one side
always faces the sun, the other is always dark. The result? Temperatures
plummeted on the dark side (Nocturnus) and drastically increased on the
bright side (Aurora). Between the two is an area stuck in perpetual
twilight. Magical barriers exist between the realms.
The campaign takes place on the dark side, a frozen wasteland filled with undead and monsters of the night. The overall goal is survival, with a chance to bring down the closest barrier. This means...killing some horrific creatures.
THE TWIST: The player characters began in our real
world, in Sidney Australia, and their flight encountered a magical storm
which forced them through a portal, where the crashed in Nocturnus (the
dark side). Think 'Alive' blended with 'LOST' in a dark world of magic.
The Story Thus Far: The plane has crashed. The
character and some passengers survived. They salvaged everything the
could from the remains of the plane, the set out to find their way to
civilization. They have thus far been attacked by zombies (including
zombie versions of the characters from the 1980s D&D cartoon), and a
polar bear. They were caught in and avalanche, which killed several NPC
Passengers the group gets a reward for any NPC Passengers still alive
when the reach civilization).
Having started at level 0, they had to make their way to the first city in order to level up. It took them 9 sessions, but they finally leveled up this week.
