Hello folks! I'm one of the players in a home-brewed world of 5e; our DM has created a world rich in lore with interesting relationships between creed and continent. We were a 5 man party, but our year long first campaign ended and one of our players had to leave due to schedule conflicts. A new campaign has been started, we just finished the first week, but are happy to bring one new person along for the ride. Be aware, you'd be starting at level 3 if you choose to join us, as we agreed to have a slightly accelerated start to this second campaign as it makes sense lore-wise. The campaign we just ran (on another continent) was pretty high magic, but this new setting is less so (Necromancy is outlawed and the magnificence of science holds sway in much of the land). This new continent is known as Zothar and you can find an extract from some of our campaign info at the bottom of this post if you want to know a bit more. What are we looking for? The two main things are consistency and enthusiasm. We don't mind if you're inexperienced as we have several people, including myself, that can help out. This second campaign we're playing up the RP and so expect you to talk, at least some of the time, in character (normal voice is fine if not comfortable with an inflection/accent). Game time is always 9pm GMT Sundays (3pm EST). This was chosen due to having a mix of American and European players. Current Party? Gaspard - Male human rogue/fighter Patriot 3 (P3) - Warforged Paladin Salem - Male human Ranger Le'o - Male elf Rogue (temporary guest) As you can see, it's a pretty low magic group of male characters at the moment (pretty sure our warforged is male, but I haven't asked lol). We don't have any prerequisite for a 5th, but it'd be nice to round our the party a bit with some AOE or Healing. Again though, this isn't a demand. If you are interested, please either leave a message here or PM me for more information. We don't need much info from you, but a little bit about your experience with DND would be useful, as well as any ideas you had for a character (just to make sure it fits with the team/world). Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope to see one of you in game soon! ======== Zothar Info 1. Necromancy is outlawed in Zothar. Anyone practicing that section of magic is to be arrested immediately. More often than not if found guilty, the person is put to death. 2. Northern Zothar has had trade with Koz Ra while Southern Zothar has had trade with Kagrenac. This split of trade has caused a strange split of science to the north and magical studies to the south. There is a large wall to separate the two which funnels immigration through the border. 3. There are 3 major factions. The United Northern Federation (UNF), the Empire of Aslan (EoA (Pronounced Ee owa the south), and the Justicars of Life and Ending (Jolae pronounced Joe Lay) 4. When someone has died it is required to perform last rights and for most this is the first thing taught to them. When someone died here they are reanimated to become an undead thing if this does not happen. This is due to a curse on the soil of Zothar. 5. Back when Zothar was one united kingdom the royal family sent of their children off to find the secret to everlasting life so that the ruling family could live forever. They found a necromantic ritual that would allow for them to live forever. By staging rite stone all across the land then performing the ritual under a blood moon they were able to do it. Unfortunately it had an effect they did not anticipate. All the dead started to rise and a large scale war was started. After completion Necromancy was outlawed and the Last Rite ritual became mandated.
