Rhyme of the Valkyrie

In a continent torn apart by war, three great kingdoms bleed each other dry while a fourth watches from the shadows. Ancient grudges, holy crusades, ruthless conquest, and industrial ambition have driven the world to the brink — and peace is nowhere in sight.

Amid this chaos, a seemingly simple expedition into forgotten ruins uncovers the first sign that old legends may be more than stories. What begins as a minor job soon draws the party into a web of buried history, political intrigue, divine mystery, and a race against powers far greater than themselves.

This campaign is a character-driven fantasy adventure spanning levels 3–15, blending exploration, roleplay, dungeon delving, faction politics, and ancient myth. Players will begin as small figures in a war-torn world and may ultimately decide the fate of kingdoms, lost truths, and powers long thought buried forever.

Character Creation:

We will starting at level 3, with the intention to run to level 15.
We will be using 5.5e (2024) rules, but I am open to using official 5e content as well.
We will be using Standard array for stats, and using starting equipment.
My rule for backstories is to give me as much or as little as you want. With my DMing and writing style, I will gladly take however much you give me and, with your permission as we go, weave it into the greater narrative and explore creative arcs for your character.

Play Time:

These sessions will be held weekly every Tuesday night, 8 PM EDT. The sessions will run between 3-4 hours depending on pacing. We will be using voice chat on Discord and everything else on Roll20.
I will always do the best I can to be here and ready to go each week at the aforementioned time, and I hope for the same for the group as a whole. But of course we all live in the real world. If obligations come up or you are not able to make it or are running late -- barring the exception for emergencies -- please give advanced notice. I like to believe I am flexible with peoples' schedules and will accommodate to the best of my ability.

Each session is $15, with Session 1 being free. In return, I will do everything in my power to make our time together memorable, enjoyable, and enriching.

I look forward to seeing you at the table, friend.
