Jewel in the North

The northern frontier of the Arlanian kingdom is a harsh and wild land, where only the hearty survive and prosper. Situated south of the Daggers Edge Mountains, this territory was once the jewel of the realm, prospering in agriculture and mining, and possessing a natural beauty that few could compare to. Recently however, this 'Northern Star' has grown dark and desolate. Orcs, goblins, and other vicious humanoids roam the landscape and frequently raid the lands of goodly folk. This threat pales in comparison to the rumors of darker, sinister forces lurking in the mountains and abroad. Once a land of justice and peace, it is now a breeding ground for thugs and knaves. The sun has truly set on for this great land.
To battle the spreading corruption, the King of Arlan has put out a call to merchants, tradesmen, warriors, and scholars to come settle this land and bring it back to it's former glory. All those who answer the call, and prove their worth, will be provided a royal subsidy for relocating to the north-most city of Darrowdale and it's surrounding barony. Whether it be the grand subsidy, the love of battle and combat, the whispers of ancient mysteries and treasures in the mountains, or the chance to make fresh start, you all have decided to make the journey to find a new place in the north-lands.

Looking for players interested in a long term, engaging, and fun adventure. Will be taking 6 core players with 2 alternates just in case people drop out. Wanting to keep things pretty simple in terms of race/class/abilities (Core only) so please no obscure or homebrew ideas unless it really fits. I am new to 5th Ed, but not to GMing or D&D. Open to first timers, new 5e players, and veterans. Will be starting at level 1! Please apply below!
