Daggerheart (2025)

The Pitch The North and South Kingdoms of Oncuia have been in a state of unease for quite some time. Recently talk of war has been prevalent, with each kingdom afraid of the other striking first. As this fear of war came to its most prevalent, people have been suffering from the extreme methods of force patriotism leading both kingdoms into cruel rulership as they fight against one another in the prospect of war. It is in this climate that breeds Lymantrius, an invasive threat, a shadow lord, that seems to be profiting off the horrors of war. They have flown under the radar for years but now they’re taking advantage of the fear and unrest to forward their unknown mission.  Tone & Feel Mysterious, Uncanny, Whimsy, Unrest, Doubt, Existential, Eldritch  Themes Cultural Clash, Ends Justify Means, Grief and fear, Transformation and Change, Survival, Rise to the Challenge, Resistance/refusal of the call, Hope in hard times.  Touchstones Hollow Knight, Lord of the Rings, The Odyssey and other Greek Tragedies, Superman, Spiderman, Miraculous LadyBug, Discworld, Lovecraft, and the Twilight Zone.  The Dm - My name is Basil, I've been running games for about 7 years. We're a queer friendly group, we play online. there are three other consistant players, I look for consistancy and at least a heads up if you're gonna be absent. I use several forms of saftey tools to protect my players. looking forawrd to meeting new players!

Gathered close around the Sacred Pyre of Lothinayn, the Enduring who have found safety here have been going missing in the night. There are no signs before they leave, but once they're driven to walk beyond the safe glow they gain a mark on their forehead. Lothinayn is running out of Enduring, and soon it will lose its Pyre if the cause isn't taken care of. In this game, work as a group to survive the terrors of the Umbra to uncover the cause of the missing Enduring, prevent the continued loss of more, and hoepfully recover those who have been lost. --- Lothinayn exists south of the Amber Reach, along the coasts of the Ashen Seas. While the majority of Enduring in the Halcyon Domain need only contend with the beasts of the land turned monstrous atrocities, those here must also deal with the creatures of the cursed depths. Most days are met with waves of frigid mist that carry with it haunting whispers, others are met with a howling roar from far out in the Seas. The Enduring of Lothinayn, once proud fishermen for Amber Reach, still uphold that tradition. However, since the Apostasy the amount of fishermen brave enough has dwindled. A paranoid settlment, being so close to Amber Reach and the Ashen Seas, the Enduring here have purposely remained out of the affairs of other Pyre settlements. They often refuse visitors, traders, and messengers, only allowing the most urgent of requests in. It is a settlement with high, but thin walls, and breaches happen with irregular persistence. The elders of Lothinayn, the oldest barely over 50, uphold the security of their settlement with maybe a grip that's too hard. And now a new catastrophe is rearing it's head for the settlement. If the cause of Lothinayn's newest threat isn't eliminated, the consequences will be more than just food. Your party has been put together as a last hope for the people. Your goal: go north into the Umbra and find what is drawing your people from the safety of the Pyre, eliminate the threat, and return, hopefully with survivors in tow. ---|---|--- Hey, folks 👋🏻 My name is Braeden and, as you can see, I'm putting together an Age of Umbra game for Daggerheart on my DIscord server. I'm a long-time lover, player, and GM of many TTRPGs with experience going back to 8 years old. I play a more narritve-focused style, but I've also always loved video games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring, so a campaign like this feels like home. The table I'm running has four available seats, each of them are paid. Sessions will be on Mondays at 7:30 PM CST, running weekly for a Tier 1-Tier 3 game over 6-8 weeks. The standard rate for my tables is $20/session for a 4 hour session (so $5/hr), but we may go under and I do my best to not go overtime. If that does happen, your session rate is capped at $20. If you're interested, or have other questions, reach out to me here or on Discord. Let's play a fun game together!
