Greetings Adventurers! I have a homebrew world I run with a couple of groups already in it. It's meant to be a Dynasty/Empire building campaign setting. Let me know if you are interested :) I prefer to use Discord for communication if possible.

Welcome to Moonshade Haven!
It's been roughly a millennia since Sir Baizey lead Moonshade against The Sunless Grove in what is now known as The Time of Ash or from the eyes of Aira, the Great Sin. It was a war that lasted a generation causing countless people to lose their lives and an endless amount of blood to spill deep into the soil. Mundane metals clashed for what seemed like an eternity with no side with victory in sight, Nature and Industry were at a stalemate. Then, without warning the first Magus arrived to the battlefield at Sir Baizey's side, forever changing the future of the realm and sparking an ongoing arms race of power. That day Industry won and Sir Baizey earned his Ashen Crown and gave the unforgivable order that paved the way for Moonshade Haven to lay its foundation.
Time passed and lives were lived in a new age where Arcane was no longer a secret to the world. Settlements, Nobles, and all now had their sights set on the discovery and development of Arcane. Entire societies were built around areas of interest that seemed to give birth to new Arcane advancements.
Nestled In the northern mountains surrounded by rolling hills and farmlands sits Moonshade, the Heart of the Haven. An orderly settlement built around a legendary waterfall and lake that breathes life into the land and was home to the fabled Sir Baizey and his Ashen Crown. MoonShade proudly built a legacy of leadership and was looked at as the pinnacle of life and industry, for a time. It is now the burden of Lady Lykis and her BrightBlades to govern the Haven and continue to moderate power all while insuring the progress of their people. Meanwhile in secret, Other settlements in the Haven have started to grow more independent with each new moon.
Cinderkin, an underground civilization built beneath Mt. Azmar, a mountain that dwarfs all others which is located on the southwest edge of the Haven, is mainly populated with Dwarves, Dragonborn, and Gnomes that greedily dig deeper and deeper in hopes to find treasures like no other. It wasn't long until their hard work started to pay off. A rare crystal was discovered deep within one of their mines that glowed with a very unusual aura, Arcane is nature. The mining of these crystals and other materials found deep within the mountain ignited a colony like no other in the Haven. Their unparalleled will to bend Mt. Azmar to their needs had earned them the respect of a formidable hold and people. They would begin to build their own legacy in trade with the rest of the Haven, proving to be just as important as MoonShade.
Over to the southern bowl of the Haven one might find Ornaxx Hollow, the second largest city in the Haven, hidden deep into the tree line of Sorrowwood and built into a natural hollow of Mt. Ornaxx. A Major community of Drow, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Goliaths and Kobolds, known to keep to themselves but do engage in trade with the rest of the Haven out of respect, and not need. Sorrowwood and Mt. Ornaxx have proven over time to be graced locations for harvesting resources and unique material. Those who have visited will tell you of their unique people and ways that are inspired by a mysterious presence that can only be felt and not explained. They too have started to scratch at secrets buried deep beneath the earth that has stirred whispers from its people. Fear of the unknown slays even the bravest adventurers and Ornaxx is a sea of Unknown.
Lady Lykis of Moonshade and her BrightBlades of BrightHold no longer have a grasp over the Haven like they once did. Both Cinderkin and Ornaxx Hollow have shown other settlements and towns, that there is no longer a need for leadership and that a struggle for power may be nearing. The balance of the Haven is falling into chaos while the people of The Sunless Grove scheme in the shadows. It seems we are on the brink of a new era.
Will you build your might within the structures of Moonshade Haven, take the mantle of a cause to overthrow the established powers, or take on organizing the unclaimed chaos and challenge the current rulers of the world?
I'm fairly new to DMing (only DMed a few one-shots for friends), but have recently gotten the Theros book and really like that world. I've been building a campaign set there. Oh, and I'm in the LGBT+ crew too! :)
Mondays 7-10/11 EST works for me (I'm in EST). If you don't know much about Theros, there ARE race limitations and some different aspects of play compared to regular D&D 5e (mostly related to Gods), as it is based on Greek mythology.
Anyways, if this interests you at all, let's talk. Discord - AgentSnuggles#4180
