Dragons once ruled this world. You; the Dragonborn, were first amongst their servants and the world was yours to command. That was until men came with their magic and their hunger for power. Their leaders, the Mage Lords fought against Dragon and Dragonborn alike until war consumed the land. At the last you stood to defend your master, the great Silver Dragon Balorian, you would have gladly given your lives to serve him. However, as you charged into battle alongside your companions, it was he that saved you. Locked in a titanic battle with the Mage Lord Tehomar; Balorian used his final strength to cast a spell of preservation upon you before the magics released in his battle consumed he and the mage lord both.
And so you were saved... encased by magic and preserved, while the world you knew turn to blood and ash...
The Game
The game will start and end at level 5. You are a Dragonborn, waking from a thousand year slumber. The world you once knew is gone and the dragons you served gone with it. This place that was once your home is now buried beneath a mountain of stone.
Roll a level five character using point buy for stats
The character must be Dragonborn, but can be any class you like (UA is fine)
You will start with mundane gear and weapons (Don't worry you will be kitted out soon enough)
Table Rules
As always wheatons law must be followed at all times.
As DM I will roll group rolls such as initiative for the sake of momentum, but all individual rolls in and out of combat are in your hands and are made using the Dice Roller.
We will use initiative as a guide only within the round. I encourage players to post intent ahead of their turns to allow combat to move faster.
I aim to post once a day and ask the same of players if there is a prompt in game for them to do so. However, we live in interesting times and real life always comes first so I will flex either way on this depending on the circumstance.
During a longer absence I will rag doll characters along to keep things moving
You will need to run your sheet on the site and join the campaign...
Lostur knew he was not the brightest of Lord Balorian’s servants. But no one could question his loyalty. This was why, when Great Lord Balorian chose to save him, even as he and the Mage Lord fell in mighty battle, he couldn't understand.
It wasn’t right. Lostur was frozen in a roar of agony; he should have died, in glory, in solidarity with his lord and master. Instead, his final thoughts were of rage and agony as he watched his world – and his reason to serve – destroyed.
And then all was black, until the awakening. But what was this awakening to Lostur the Lost? He knew only rage, and sorrow… and a desire for vengeance. The humans… all the humans… would pay for their transgressions, in the name of his fallen master. It was the only thing he had left, in this strange new world.
Special notes: Equipment shuffle: Sold a lot of the starting equipment at half price, bought a full price armor and shield in place of them.
Arjhan was a scout in the war. While never well trained in the normal methods of soldierly combat, he taught himself to focus his inner energies to enhance his skills, allowing him to travel lightly and quickly.
Backstory: Cranky old Dragonborn that (even before being the thousand years slumber) is always talking about "the good old times" and how everything was better "way back when". Has a small heart however, finding it most important to protect his fellows and life in general.
A hunter of some renown, Lorvax served Balorian with great distinction. His skill set was of particular use when it came to tracking, hunting, and 'removing' any which would threaten the great silver dragon's position. In the end, when the great Balorian gave of himself to protect his followers, Lorvax felt an overwhelming sense of shame and anger; shame for failing to protect Balorian and anger towards those that had smote his leader.
Encased in magic, any waking thoughts Lorvax had were consumed by vengeance and self-chastisement. Lorvax pledged to himself that he would find out what had happened that fateful day; how he could have been so blind to the threat facing Balorian and who was ultimately responsible for the fall of his beloved master.
Backstory: Ivirs awakens remembering only two things his name and that his master was dead now he's only purpouse was to carry out his master's will Baorin was dead but his magic had a different effect on Ivirs firstly it gave him amnesia and secondly it had an other somewhat unexpected effect it was a fluke it wasn't supposed to be, but ivirs awoke and could sense the magic within him.
Im in (will update) Unfortunately, I don't have anything bought besides Dragons of Icespire Peak. Is there a campaign I can join to get the stuff? This is Yvezra
