Sins and Saviors:
To give a brief summary, Sin and Saviors You are all part of the noble Greymore family , a family whos land comprised of a lone mansion in the woods , a family whos one sole goal throughout all of time is to keep the peace in the nation of Urden. Whether that be from distant armies, invading hordes of beasts, or in recent times plagues of beings from other realms stepping into your own. However that was until 187 years ago the king of your grand nation Urden grew warry of this powerful group of influential monster hunters and sealed the entire family into his own personal demiplane locking the entire bloodline away forever. You chosen few have been broken out by a strange savior who says your help is needed saving Urden from a great threat, and only you can save the nation.
That is the very short version/pitch. However if you would like deeper lore to read through to see if you are interested in it feel free to read through some of the lore doc below
Some quick answers to common questions:
Homebrew classes are not allowed
Homebrew subclasses are allowed as long as I approve of them
Homebrew races are allowed as long as I approve of them
We are using custom starting stats for character creation, and hp will be fixed
We are using 5e rules in my own homebrew world
In general I am a very open and accepting person, so most requests and backstories Im willing to work with. Just make sure you communicate with me with your questions and comments and we will get along just fine!
The War that started it all
The gods of Urden have a different place in the realms of D&D. Unlike other worlds this prime material plane was turned into a warzone roughly 1000 years ago that caused all creatures who occupied the prime material plane to choose a side, them or their invaders. This event went on to be known as “The Last Stand”as this war united the most unlikely of allies in order to survive the unexpected onslaught. The Divine and the Damned joined in an alliance of Celestial and Fiends, the Elementals and the Fey joined together to create a pact of creative destruction, and finally there were the inhabitants of the prime material plane left all by themselves to fend against their creators. Until they came across two of the only other races threatened by this war, the ones who left their culture and past behind to make a stand for the future of Urden. The world was saved by a joining of man, dragon, and Giant. Together they not only survived the war but forged a pact that would last for ages to come between the three allies. The conflict ended with the prime material plane in ruins, cities leveled, continents moved, entire nations of peoples wiped out. However the Celestials and their avatars once worshiped as gods and saviors were now slain dead by mortal hands, the raging elemental warriors sent back to the various planes defeated, the various devils, demons, and other fiendish corpses cast back into the pits of hell from which they came, and the Fey cursed unable to leave their home plane. With the prime material plane safe and a new alliance forged between the Giants, Dragons, and Humanoids a new Religion was forged: The Three Emperors. A leader was chosen from each race and worshiped as god kings, all ruling their various lands in an everlasting peace with each other.
The Origin of the last stand:
The war between these 4 races began approximately two thousand years ago. The 4 planes had never had a conflict rage into each other's border before then, a somewhat peaceful existence of the 4 most powerful known beings in the universe. That was until they decided that they wished to attempt to co-exist in one space, a city to lead not just their own realms, but all realms to a new tomorrow. If they could pull it off then interplanar travel and alliances could lead to a united peoples with some of the most powerful and influential beings working together as one. All they needed was a realm between all realms that could act as the foundation for this city….. And they all agreed on one place where their children had been living together for millenia, The Prime Material Plane.
And so a city of these 4 races was created, put smack dab in the continent that would later go on to be known as Urden. The city was called Unaren (Un-Ren) meaning one peoples and new beginnings, each plane selected representatives to go and live in Unaren for 500 years to see if this peace was possible. And with this new city came a blossoming new opportunity to experience new cultures, beliefs, powers, languages, and with that a melting pot of planar union was born.
The information gets a little cloudy from there on as each race tells a different story, but there is the one trigger of the Last Stand war that is known for certain, the death of 2 children. A pair of twins, a boy and a girl born from the joining of a Demon Price and a Solarian Angel. The two were said to be the honored guests of a festival celebrating the newly formed unions of their parents and a sign that the future held great things for Unaren.
That was until a pillar of pitch black light descended upon the festival catching the drunk and joyful inhabitants by surprise killing the two children, and severely injuring the rest of the crowd. No race, being, or sole suspect came forward nor was found, leading to the allegations that the peoples of the opposing children caused this in an attempt to ruin the union of their rivals. The mourning of the lost children quickly turned to a boiling fury and the peaceful city was evacuated and turned into a warzone mere days after the murders. The Celestials blamed some sort of Fey Trickery while the Fiends questioned the Djinns' jealousy of a child that could rival their power to give gifts/boons and bestow curses. With both being blamed the Elementals and Fey looked towards one another with the only hope of surviving the onslaught of the two powerful races by forging their own alliance.
Thus beginning a war that would span for hundreds of years as spies, assassins, and armies attempted to fight their way through the other planes trying to wipe out every powerful being who was either suspected of killing the twins, or retaliating against the Celestials and Fiends in an attempt to kill the leaders of this savage war campaign. Eventually fighting in the other races territories become tiresome and challenging, so to spare the lives of those who lived within their home planes, these 4 races agreed to meet with their strongest warriors in one location where they could all unleash their fury against one another, that of course being ground zero, The Prime Material plane’s own city of Unaren. However the city could not withstand the earth crushing strength of the beings fighting within it, and the war quickly spanned out all across the continent as the 4 races clashed, the mortals who called this continent home found themselves being caught up in the calamity around them.
Volcanic eruptions consuming entire villages, world ending meteor swarms demolishing entire mountain ranges, and entire lakes and wildlands being set ablaze by unholy fire. This was the spark that set flame to the Last Stand as those few who remained after the initial violence only had two choices, die fighting alone, or unite and have a slight chance of victory. This was where it all began, the mortals were weak but great in number, the Giants few but powerful, and the dragons mighty but unwilling to follow any orders or plans given by any other race. Each came together with a leader to guide them to victory or the next years to come, creating the bond that still holds up to this day.
The mortals were slaughtered, many dying by the thousands against the very beings they worshiped and feared, however those few that survived gained something that no other mortal in their lifetimes had achieved. An awakening, a source of strength and power that allowed them for the first time in recorded history to fight back against beings who could crush the very land from which they stood on. This was the origin of the first family who awakened, the house that was first to defend Urden from the planar invaders. This was the origin of House Greymore. 14 noble souls rose up to challenge the planar destruction and thus the 14 branches of House Greymore were born creating Urden’s first official awakened army. The mortals shared this power with the giants and dragon allies and also created the first awakened of their kind as well, giants who could already move mountains now were blessed with spells that could heighten their strength even further, dragons who could already soar through the sky were now able to manipulate the ki and lifeblood flowing through them for even more devastating attacks. This was the sole reason these 3 races turned the tides against what should have been an unstoppable ramage of the planar beings.

Hey is there any spaces left, would love too join and looking for a weekday group to play with after work. I am 20 years old and a fairly new player but know the basics. Discord: KingFlashBen
I would like to join your campaign as I have hosted thousands of hours of sessions, but have only had the chance to play for about 15. I have taken a break from DMing and am looking to join a long game. I tend to put a lot into my role play and character development and I do not really have a spotlight addiction. The world seems similar to one I ran a couple of years ago and I am curious to see how it compares to how I ran it.
