War has erupted between the three great kingdoms of the realm: The Dwarves of the Blue Mountain, The High Elves of Slyvadon, and the Human Kingdom of Ironbay. All claiming that the other has kidnapped and murdered their people-- many of which were women and battle ready men. Smaller neighboring clans and tribes have been pulled into their conflict, forced to choose who they will ally with, though discontent is rampant among their ranks. If they aren't careful, they will turn upon themselves and all will be destroyed before their true enemy is revealed.
You find yourself snatched from the jaws of death, laying in a pool of your own blood and breathing despite your last breath being spent. A glowing brand in the shape of a sun lays where you recieved a killing blow and from it you hear the gentle voice of a woman, telling you that your life has been restored to you for the purpose of quelling the discord that has overtaken the land. Should you succeed in ending this war, your life will be restored to you. Should you fail, you shall be forever lost. You must find the chosen few with this brand and become the heroes of the realm.
Requirements:
You must be familiar with D&D 5e and capable of creating a character sheet yourself, although it will be reviewed by the DM.
You must be able to work with a team; I understand that some characters are reluctant to work with others or are more likely to go off on their own, but you will be unable to complete the campaign if you lack basic skills to work together.
Don't be murder hobos, because murder hobos will loose the favor of the deity who ressurected them and be more likely to suffer a perma-death.
Players will have to understand the turmoil the kingdoms are suffering, as well as the race based prejudice that is becoming more and more common. There will be NPCs who discriminate towards their character based on what they are, there may even be other player characters who might have an issue with each other based upon race. (i.e. An elf and dwarf might not get along, due to the percieved snobiness of elves and clumsiness of dwarves.) Don't get too butthurt about it, but at the same time don't use it as an excuse to be a jerk to other players for no reason.
You must have discord and be able to voice chat, since I refuse to do this by text.
Take NOTES, your hand will not be held as you get higher in level and if you forget something then that sucks for you because that just means that you've forgotten something that could've been trivial or critical.
Must be available at 2 pm CDT on Thursdays, although this is up for change if enough people request it.
This is a campaign that is supposed to continue until level 15, so you'll have to be in it for the long haul.
If you have a character idea then type it in the replies: Race, class, gender, alignment, how they died/where their brand is, and why you want to join the campaign.

I'll contact people privately to discuss their characters in further depth and invite them to the discord chat for the game, so hopefully I get to chat with a few of you guys and figure things out.

Thank you all for participating, but the campaign is officially closed and I have accepted all of the players that I need.
No, any playable race (not including monster races) is fine. If you are one of the outside races, you were pulled into the conflict and you can tell me who your people chose to side with.
Greetings, New player here to D&D and looking for abit more of a serious campaign to learn. I don't have experience in playing but i've watched how the games go and learned the basics from that but am not familair with the game in detail. Would you recommend me for this campaign? I do know how to create a character sheet btw.
an aarakocra who died defending their nest. they took a few too many attacks to the wings and fell out of the sky, and tumbled down the face of a sharp cliffside. the killing blow was to the back of the head in the middle of their descent.
if bird-man is not allowed, a moon elf who died by their own mother's hands. troops were raiding the town, and houses were burning. the mother slit her children's throats and then her own to spare them all the slow death of burning alive or being captured and turned into slaves
my character was as from their god to help the people to protect them me a Centaur Cleric war his name was Ancasos Turner he has sided with The High Elves of Slyvadon Because of them asking for help in the feywild There are many of my kind Serves as frontliners for my character's death Sacrifice his life to make sure people are able to escape and his god is Corellon Larethian the simple will be on his backside man my Discord is will#0218
My character's name is Karmmela Virtoris, a half-elf druid of chaotic good alignment. She died from a particularly deadly accident involving a runaway hat and a very tall tree. (i.e her own stupidity. She climbed up a tree to grab her hat and slipped, falling to her death.) Her brand lays on the back of her neck, clearly visible due to her short hair. Of course, this is all subject to change if you'd prefer it. I'm just here to have fun and meet new people! I'm in love with this campaign's story and interested in how it plays out :)
I'm interested! I have a first level character rolled up and ready-to-go here. I'm available on Discord at swdrumm3638
My character is Sanguinius, a LG Dragonborn (Silver) Paladin who was a former soldier and now leads a free company of mercenaries hired by the Dwarves to bolster their defenses in the coming conflict. His entire company was slaughtered by demonic fiends (allegedly summoned by the Human mages) and he has sworn an Oath of Vengance against all demonic creates of the Lower Planes.

question, do we have to choose a race out of the three that are at war? I don't mind if that is the case, I was just wondering.

That sounds good; what race were you thinking of playing as and how did your character die?
