Campaign Introduction

Foreword

Hey team! Thanks for joining me on this journey to Wolfesboro. I’m excited to share with you some background on the campaign’s setting. It’s my first time doing anything like this, so please bare with me! 😅 In the end, lore might not end up being a big focus for our group – or it might, but having a solid foundation is a good starting point either way. As we play, we’ll naturally see how relevant it becomes to our group. There’s no pressure to dive deep into the lore/setting if it’s not your thing — I won’t be offended! It’s here as a base, and its importance or lack there of will naturally evolve as we progress and play the game together. 👍

About the Setting

I wanted to create something unique to us – but I also wanted to keep it as simple as possible, with pre-established world-building that anyone can just look up online! Therefor…

The campaign is set in the Forgotten Realms setting. (The most ‘typical‘ DnD fantasy setting that we all know and love)
The campaign takes place within the continent of Faerûn, located on the planet Toril. (The most ‘typical‘ planet/continent on which the majority of DnD adventures/books/stories take place)
The regions in which the campaign takes place are the Starforged Basin and Agmars Peninsula (Hellscape). This is where the homebrew starts! These are completely new areas, created by me. Where do they exist within Faerûn, you ask? Don’t ask me! It’s not relevant… yet! 😉 Don’t think too hard about it.

So – the important takeaway from this is, if you’re uncertain of ‘what exists in this world’, ‘who are the gods of the pantheon that I can pray to’ or similar, you can just look up whatever you like about the pre-established Forgotten Realms, Toril and Faerûn settings, and you’ll know exactly what exists, because anything you find in official WOTC writings, exists in this world! 😊

Of course, within the campaign, I have taken the liberty to create new things and new lore that you wont find anywhere else… you’ll just have to discover it during the campaign. This world already exists with or without your characters in it – the passage of time will pass, and events will proceed; How they proceed, is up to you and your characters. 😉

Last but not least, this world belongs to you as much as it does me. This is a collaborative story that we’re telling together and I encourage you to create things within it. If you want a certain faction, NPC, item or world event to exist – just talk to me about it and we can weave it into the story together.

So, with love and without further ado… ❤️
