There are those that bear wield only skill, wit, and courage, and those that bear gifts rare. All can leave their mark, if only they dare. Nothing waits for you in this world—not glory, not destiny, not mercy. Cities crumble under the weight of corruption, forests hide dangers older than memory, and whispers of power drift through courts where loyalty is bought, and betrayal is cheap. There are no chosen ones here; every victory must be earned, every survival clawed from chance and cunning. Your choices echo through the lives of the innocent and the guilty alike, and every decision carries risk, reward, and consequence. The world watches, remembers, and punishes—sometimes for centuries. Will you leave a name worth remembering, or be lost to history like so many before you? I am currently recruiting players for a long-term D&D 5e campaign set in a grounded, original world where agency, realism, and consequence matter more than power fantasy or mechanical optimization.
