“Ah, you look like a fresh face. Perhaps this would interest you. I am Ibrahim. I am the owner of this small caravan. Don't look at it as if it is nothing, it's a grower not a shower, and it shall need even greater protection once it has fully developed. We will be making our way north to the land of the Golden Tyrant. If you fear death, it may be best to move on. If not? Welcome aboard! Just sign this contract and we shall be on our way in only a few days"
Setting:
The year is 749 of the Holy Calendar and the world has struggled to maintain some semblance of structure since the beginning of Long Night. Nearly half a century ago, the Sun King (peace be upon him) set for the last time. With the “Apocryphal Sunset”, screams and cries rang out from the dark horizon. Armies of twisted and evil creatures marched from the darkest corners of the land, and tore through kingdoms and empires in mere days. Hero’s fought and died, and perhaps only a quarter of the population survived.
These monsters were the Kafir, demons and unbelievers who had long forsaken the old gods. Foolish and greedy kings, they were the slavers of man in ages long past before being struck down by the gods, yet even still they were not defeated. The outermost regions of every city or town not blessed by the gods or guarded by djinn were torn apart and disassembled by hordes of the Kafir. The bloodshed lasted for only a week but was to be known as the "Red Eon", for not even a thousand years of history could re-create the destruction that befell the world in those seven days. After one week of apocalypse, the great matron of the moon (Praise be to her, and her children) sacrificed her connection to the mortal world in exchange for but a fraction of the Sun King’s grace (peace be upon him). The moon grew a thousand fold, and encompassed nearly the entire night sky, with thousands of heavenly bodies and stars working to fortify the heavens above. This reprieve of light would come to be known as the Pale Sabbath, where men are given a taste of their primacy from the days of old. For half of the week, the world is illuminated by the Heavenly Queen Mother above, allowing for travel and commerce around the desert. And in those days where the Queen Mother’s visage is absent from the night sky, demons once again roam free, forcing men to seek shelter in the holy cities and sanctuary towns. This is the world you were born in, and it shall likely be the one in which you die. All that matters now is finding something to do with your time.
Hello and welcome to The Longest Night! I am Clock, and this is a little homebrew adventure and world I wrote for my table. I am a dm of 4 years, and am interested in running a game for some people who like dnd! If you’ve read this far, good job, you made it farther than a lot of others.
Game structure:
You will be traveling with a small caravan across the lands of the Long Night! Recruit those who you think would be best to have around, and grow the size and wealth of the caravan!
For the most part, each in game week will be split into two parts. The first half when the moon is up will be traveling across the inhospitable wastes to your next destination, the second half of the week (while the moon has set) will be spent doing quests in the settlements you visit, recruiting whoever you like to the caravan, and trying your best to eradicate (or fall to) the vices that has beset the world.
Play by post personal chat - The game will have a somewhat play by post element for downtime as well as personal quests that will pop up every now and again. You get a private channel to be sneaky, ask me questions, roll, etc. Really whatever you need!
Get ready to deal with Spirits, Djinn, Demons, local rulers and governments in this romp around a ruined world with thousands of years of history!
Now that you’ve invested this much time, here’s the link to the written part of the application!
If you pass that vibe check, I’ll give you an interview over a voice call and after a few days, you’ll know if you got in!
OPEN UNTIL FEBRUARY 25th!
