Long ago, the wizard Bran Willowshore roamed this realm. A respected member of the Ars Arcanorum Academy, he was well known and relatively well liked among his peers. His papers on necromancy made some great strides in his field, and many of his writings are still used today in modern magic education. However, Bran’s mortal coil started taking its toll, and as is the case for many wizards such as himself, he seeked a way to extend his lifespan to continue his research. Thankfully for Bran, his specific field of study proved useful in unlocking the key to true immortality: Lichdom. He started a cult under the guise of Fralum, a foul sorcerer of undeath. With Illusion magic, he masked his true identity and conducted his research into the ritual to Lichdom during the night. Gathering loyal cultists to assist him in this endeavor, he established his hideout within a temple to Vaah, God of Shadows. He gathered the required materials and sacrifices for the ritual, but in this gathering he was too reckless. News spread of the wizards' search for immortality, and adventurers were dispatched to put an end to this search. A great battle was fought within the Shadow Temple, leaving no survivors, including Bran himself. With no survivors to report back, but no lich, the people of the Realm assumed Bran Willowshore was no more, and in the passing years, not much has happened to argue this fact.
Now, the Shadow Temple lays silent and abandoned, still filled with the bodies of those slain within, and the traps set to stop the assault. Rumors spread that in the Wizard’s search for immortality, many useful magical trinkets and artifacts have gathered dust within the Temple’s walls for many years now. And as rumors have a tendency to do in this Realm, adventurers caught wind of them.
Those adventurers are you all. You are an adventuring group that’s delved into the Shadow Temple to locate any valuables you may be able to find.
Will you be able to brave the Shadow Temple?
| What is this?:

To stand side by side with your peers while delving through dark caves, uncovering long lost secrets and lore hidden away in dilapidated crypts? No? Then what are you doin' here!?

| About Me:
Hi! I'm Henry :) Been DMing for over 4 years now. I love TTRPGs, I'll try to give you the best tabletop experience I can offer, and try to accommodate to your needs! I usually focus on character storytelling a fair bit, so I'll try to bring your lil fantasy dude/dudette/dude-other to life :D (Although I do love some good combat).
