The House of Veyrath

Eleint, on the eve of Highharvestide.

Autumn has been particularly harsh across the northern Sword Coast. Relentless storms, flooding and crop failures have left communities struggling as winter approaches.

Banditry is on the rise, travellers have disappeared, and rumours of strange occurrences are spreading throughout the countryside.

With the roads increasingly dangerous, merchants are paying good coin for reliable protection.

You've been hired to escort a shipment of food and household provisions from Longsaddle to a wealthy country estate near Morgur's Mound.

The job is simple enough: protect the wagons, deliver the supplies and collect your payment.

What could possibly go wrong?

About the Campaign

I'm looking to run a long-term, predominantly play-by-post campaign set in the Forgotten Realms.

Expect a mixture of traditional D&D adventuring, exploration, combat, mysteries, intrigue and character-driven storytelling.

The campaign will feature a living world with recurring NPCs, competing factions and events that continue to develop independently of the party. Player choices will influence how the story unfolds.

There will be darker themes and morally complicated situations, alongside the usual opportunities for adventure, humour and heroics.

Character Creation & Play

• Point Buy or Standard Array.

• Official character options, subject to DM approval.

• Characters should have a reason to accept paid caravan escort work.
