The Premise:

You aren’t farmhands picking up a sword for the first time; you are seasoned adventurers. But even seasoned adventurers need a reliable paycheck. Enter the College of Magical Excellence in the city of Tytha. They are training the next generation of magical prodigies, and those students need supplies.

That is where you come in.

You have been hired as Foragers. Your job is to venture out into the treacherous wilds of Nohik and secure the exotic materials required for the college's curriculum. One week you might be scaling the jagged Traveler's Spires to steal hippogriff eggs for the equestrian team. The next, you might be delicately extracting deep-cavern crystals that taste like grape but kill like cyanide. Reagents, mounts, rare mosses, or deadly clamshells! If it furthers magical knowledge, you are the ones retrieving it.

What to Expect:

High Risk, High Reward: When you aren't out risking life and limb for a rare fungus, you will be paid handsomely and provided with near-luxury accommodations in the vibrant city of Tytha.

Pillar Focus: This campaign heavily favors Roleplay and Skills. While combat will happen (hippogriffs don't just hand over their eggs, after all), creative problem solving, social navigation, and utilizing your skill proficiencies will be just as crucial as your attack rolls.

Episodic with an Overarching Plot: The "monster/dungeon of the week" retrieval format provides focused, goal-oriented missions, while you slowly uncover the deeper politics, secrets, and mysteries of the College and your eccentric handlers.
