Embark on a gripping journey through time in 'Chronicles of Eldoria: Veil of Ages,' a campaign where your humble beginnings as mere foot-soldiers in the kingdom of Eldoria catapults into an epic adventure across time.
As you are swept across the ages by forces unknown, witness the transformation of Eldoria from war-torn kingdom, to prosperous republic, and finally, to an empire with global reach. Amidst the changing eras, two enigmas persist: the brilliant and mysterious Archon Vellamir, and an extra-planar threat known as 'the Maelstrom.' Its insidious influence seeps through time - a force that even the gods seem to fear.
Confront the mysteries of time, face looming threats from beyond the veil, and make choices that will shape the destiny of Eldoria and your own. In this saga of time-travel and cosmic peril, your actions will echo through eternity. Are you ready to stand against the tides of the future?
Hello, thanks for opening the thread and welcome to the recruitment page! You might have guessed from the elevator pitch, but this is a campaign centered around time-travel. As you move up through the tiers of play, your party is dragged forward through time by an unknown power.
Your story will begin in Eldoria, where the young King Eldran Tomaril has been thrust into power. Your characters will be soldiers - either doing your mandatory military service or as a career volunteer. Sensing an opportunity to take advantage of the young king's inexperience, the neighboring nations put into motion a plan to conquer the small kingdom. But even as their armies march into Eldoria, a much greater threat grows in the shadows of the world...
Six Fundamental Truths of the World
Despite its smalls size and few resources, the kingdom of Eldoria is under constant threat from outside forces.
The gods are distant and their interventions rare. Prayers are offered, but divine responses are seldom clear, creating a society that relies more on human effort than divine guidance.
An ancient and powerful threat lurks just beyond the veil.
There is a legend of the 'Nexus,' a place where time flows differently. While most consider it a myth, it's a topic of fascination for scholars and dreamers.
There are secrets buried that even the gods have forgotten.
Across the world, there are ruins and artifacts that seem out of place in time. Some are too advanced to be as ancient as they appear.
What to Expect
Engaging storytelling with a focus on character development and player choices. While there are general story beats, your choices as a player will shape the course of the campaign.
In Tier 1: Mostly combat. Some roleplay. Some exploration.
In Tier 2: Mostly a mix of roleplay/political intrigue. Some exploration and combat.
In Tier 3: Mostly a mix of combat/exploration.
Digital combat maps for most encounters. Digital maps for interesting locations and regions.

Published content is allowed, if it's on DnDBeyond as a source you can use it. Barring the silly stuff like Rick and Morty.
You can roll for stats. If the array isn't to your liking you can take point buy. Rolls can drop 1's always.
Unconcerned with length. Expecting one post a day. If someone doesn't post after 24 hours, I'll take control of the character and move on until the player is back. If that keeps happening the character meets an unfortunate end and we find a replacement.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OK, lets try this again. Game sounds really fun, I just keep getting these boringly uniform arrays. Some have actually been pretty good rolls, but there's been nothing to rp off of!! I'll try once more and then take point buy if I don't get SOME kind of variety to work with.

Name: Karlo Temuri Race & Class: Human Warlock Background: Folk Hero Brief Backstory or Personality Blurb:
All he ever wanted to do was protect people. His friends. His family. As he grew up, he found he lacked the natural strength to do so. No matter how hard he tried and trained, he always fell short of his own expectations. And so he made with something deep in the earth - perhaps the world itself: grant me power to protect those who need it, and my life is yours. The magic that flowed through him was everything he ever wished for, and he used it to help secure peace for his town. Bandits think twice before harassing people around his hometown now. When the time came to protect the kingdom at large, Karlo was more than eager to put his abilities to use as a soldier.
Name: Morrigan Faulkner Race & Class: Half-drow paladin (oath of the crown) Background: Noble Brief Backstory or Personality Blurb: Morrigan is the result of one passionate night, when her father, a drow diplomat from Karalor, met her mother, a noblewoman of Eldoria. Since she was young, Morrigan was loved by her mother, but tolerated at best by everyone else, who she suspects never actively tried to kill her due to who her mother is. Wanting to prove she is just as worthy as anyone else, she has put the work in to be the best soldier she can be during her mandatory service. She shuns every "perk" being a noble in the army would otherwise give her, which is good for her commanders as they want to treat the half-drow like garbage anyways. Despite this, she hopes to win glory for her family, which includes her human mother and stepfather, and four younger human siblings.

Name: Aino Tanssija (<-- link to dndbeyond character sheet) Race: Shadar-Kai Class: Wizard (Bladesinging) Background: Faction Agent Backstory/Personality/Image: See first spoiler below.
Backstory / Personality:
Born the youngest daughter of a shadar-kai warrior and bastard to boot, Aino Tanssija reveled in the benign neglect afforded her by her own kin, and found more interest in the material plane and Eldoria than in the grim lassitude of Shadowfell. Always a good student and a bookworm, Aino nevertheless gravitated towards "undesirables" of the mortal world - urchins, thieves, beggars.
At a young age (for shadar-kai), she found a tutor for her growing magical talents in a retired forest recluse. An old hermit and ex-spy who taught her the way of both arcane magic and the ancient elven art of bladesinging. Aino dove into his teachings, heart and soul, practicing the forms hour after hour, day and night. Yet her restlessness remained unabated. When the call went out for military volunteers in Eldoria, she would not be denied. Those few that remained of her family shook their heads, of course, but since when had she ever cared about their wishes? Her bladesinging master said nothing when Aino asked him whether she was ready. The answer was clear from his stern gaze. Not yet. Not by far.
She went anyway.

"Mountebank [moun-tuh-bangk] noun 1. A person who sells quack medicines, as from a platform in public places, attracting and influencing an audience by tricks, storytelling, etc." When Jetzoilsee read that in the strange and tattered book his tribe found in that scary cave near the borders of Eldoria, it sparked something in him. He knew what path he wanted to follow. But he wouldn't go so far as to call his remedies quack, exactly. More like ... mmmm ... jejune.Speculative. Experimental even. But hey ... he worked hard on them, and he was sure they're just as magical as anything the alchemists' guild could brew up. He just needed to iron out a few minor wrinkles, is all. ...
The army captain was very nice about it. The soldiers who had bought his syphilis cure were going to be okay, after all, aside from the time it would take them to recover the third of their bodily fluids they lost through the projectile vomiting and diarrhea. But he made it quite clear that Jetzoilsee was going to enlist, and he was going to be properly trained. He was sure the poor fellow was just having a bad day and didn't really mean that last part about, "...for the three thousand millenia or so it's gonna take to make you only a MINOR threat to the continued existence of the multiverse!"
