[Online][5.5e] Storms of Ages — long-running homebrew campaign seeking one player (any class welcome)

I'Rileth is a world of fractured empires and old magic — the militant Bellor Empire, the faithful Asewin Dominion, and the scrappy, independent Free Cities of Trist'an, all balanced against the dwarves of the Ashanor Mountains and the elves who've all but vanished into the Feywild. What started as a chase after stolen relics and a fanatical cult has spiraled into something far bigger: the slow, terrifying realization that ancient floating continents — relics of a magocracy lost to history — are returning to the world.

Our party has chased leads across Blackwharf, claimed a galleon as spoils, and uncovered a conspiracy that runs all the way up to a being calling himself the Gilded Apprentice. We're now deep in faction politics, a missing noble bloodline, and a ticking clock before the next ritual goes off.

We're an established table looking to fill one seat after a player had to step away (we're on Session 29 as of this posting).

The basics

• System: D&D 5.5e
• Format: Online — Foundry VTT + Discord for voice. Sessions are recorded for playback if you ever miss one.
• Schedule: Every other Wednesday, 7 PM EST
• Starting level: You'll come in at level 4, same as the rest of the party
• Party comp: Leans martial — ranger, rogue, barbarian, fighter, warlock — with a support/healer recently added. Healing's covered now, so the open seat is genuinely open to any class or concept. Bring whatever excites you; a support type wouldn't hurt, but it's far from required.
• Experience: Some D&D experience preferred — you don't need to know our homebrew world going in, but familiarity with 5e basics helps.
• Tone: Balanced roleplay and combat — political intrigue, faction tension, and personal character arcs alongside tactical fights.

Onboarding

Before you join the group, I'd like to run a one-on-one mini session with you — a low-pressure chance to get a feel for the world, my DM style, and your character's place in the story without a full table watching. After that, you'd join the party for Session 30 on Wednesday, September 23, 7 PM EST. No need to binge lore beforehand — the mini session will get you oriented on everything you need.

What we're looking for

Someone who can commit to the every-other-week schedule, communicates if life gets in the way, and enjoys collaborative storytelling as much as rolling dice. New to the group is totally fine — we'll get you caught up on the world and story so far.
