The nation of Ionia sits amid a world of dungeons, dragons, gods, demons, monsters, and heroes. The country itself has known relative peace and prosperity for some 60 years or more… ever since the last great band of heroes defeated a world-hopping dragon and used her horde to revitalize the nation. Since that time the nation has seen public education, increased commerce, public roadways, easy access to healers, a democratically-elected parliament, and an age of religious and racial tolerance and conversation.

Now, a new team of heroes, originally gathered in the small Ionian town of Altair, has taken on a continent-spanning mission to deliver the dead bodies of fallen soldiers from the Line against the Orcish hordes, stopping monsters and helping families grieve as they go. Also, there are a great many shenanigans to be had, but that’s hardly the focus of our tale… right?

====================

Welcome to the home campaign for the New Altairian Heroes (NAH), run by Joe Lastowski in South Hadley, MA. I’m a writer, and I fully admit that I put way too much time into things I get passionate about, so there’s an awful lot here. Those of you who are just browsing through will notice that I’ve outright stolen a lot of this, though much of it has been tweaked to fit in my world better. I’m not making money off of any of this, and most of what I’ve used has been stuff that was meant for gaming anyway in one way or another. I think it was R.A.Salvatore who said that the whole point of a gaming world like the Forgotten Realms was so that people could pick-and-choose what worked best in their own games. That’s what I’ve done here. Feel free to browse around, and I hope you enjoy what you read.

Any questions or comments can be directed to JoeLastowski@gmail.com. Thanks for visiting!
