Tasked by the goddess of death to find a group of smugglers who were sneaking souls in and out of the afterlife, a group of adventurers stumbled onto a break in the arcane fabric of their world. They destroyed the magical den of doors they were hunting for and in the resulting chaos they found themselves trapped the crumbling ruined city of Kalcrest. They would simply walk home except for fact that Kalcrest was destroyed 16 years ago when a magical catastrophe slid the city off a cliffside into the sea below. The city now exists in a demi-plane that serves as a domain for a classically mysterious and dark overlord. With 9 being the highest intelligence score among the characters they'll have to rely on something other than their brains to cleanse the plane of the Overlord's presence and find their way back home.
Through the Heart is also known as Group C. The campaign is apart of the Ilderon Tales Campaign Style created to allow large scale story telling across multiple groups and campaigns. The simplest explanation would be a meta-narrative much like the Marvel Cinematic Universe structured in a way to allow the individual players and groups to be the heroes and focus of each branching story. The players that play in this particular branch of the campaign are a couple of well-intention low brain cell possessing guild members stumbling into a demi-plane and trying to find their way home. The demi-plane is the domain of a classically dark overlord ruling over the ruins of a crumbling city long thought to be destroyed by unknown arcane magics.
About the Group
If you like wacky party members and wild extravagant tales you will be at home enjoying this group. With a focus on story telling, in depth role playing, and truly bringing out every statistic of your character rather than wisdom, intelligence, or charisma just being a dump stat, this group weaves together a touching tale of hilarious and heart warming roleplaying moments. Currently, they have a sorcerer, a fighter, a bard, a rogue, a and a barbarian monk.
About the World
From humanity’s first steps on Seadale to the ruins of dead empires sleeping under the sands of Galken, Ilderon has been a lost plane isolated in the vast darkness of the multiverse. Shrouded in mystery, not much is known about how the plane came into existence. Gods and mortals walk the lands and sail the seas of the material plane while untold horrors remain locked away out of sight in an endless demi-plane known as the Bridge.
The entirety of existence was once united behind the Goddess of creation, but in her silence humanity found new gods. When the dire conflicts of history called for heroes, four mortals answered the call and Ascended to the status of deities. The wars that birthed the great heroes birthed even greater foes who still inhabit Ilderon and continue to stir the winds of chaos.
The country-sides have survived war after war and shattering after shattering. However, nothing changed the landscape of Ilderon more than the Second Shattering. While the world survived, a new race of half-man half-undead monstrosities spawned. The remnants of the war left sentient soul eating beings known as Tierii wandering around the world. Neither good, nor evil, the undead people struggle to find their place in Ilderon amongst its clashing political powers, old gods, new Ascended Gods, timeless beings, and broken-but-not-defeated humans who all roam the material plane trying to survive the building storm.
About the DM
Howdy doodles! I have been DM'ing for nearly a decade. I am a very story focused and RP heavy dungeon master. With a background in stand up comedy and writing Epic Fantasy fiction, I bring a unique flavor of off-centered storytelling to the table. My favorite type of games to run are political thrillers, my general philosophy: the scariest thing is not the monster lurking in the cave, but the scariest thing is what the unsuspecting person next to you is willing and able to do.
