[Online][D&D 5e 2014][Combat-heavy] Dark Fantasy-Looking for 1 more player, 21+ — All Books & UA Allowed - EVERY Saturday @ 6 PM EST
The Iron Sovereign is Dead
The throne lies empty. Five kings carve the shattered realm into bloody pieces, each hungry for power and shadowed by secrets darker than war itself.
You are mercenaries skilled, ruthless, and expendable - fighting in a world where trust is a weapon and every choice can unravel the future.
This is a combat-heavy campaign with real-stakes RP and lasting consequences:
- Bad diplomacy can (and probably will) lead to bloodshed.
- Politics, paranoia, and power struggles are everywhere.
- Some NPCs are built like you - and they fight like it.
We recently had 2 players step out and are looking to fill their spots. The current party is level 5 with a Swarmkeeper Ranger, Hexblade Warlock, Barb/Fighter and an Illusion Wizard. It will not be hard to integrate you in.
