The Third Age

The campaign takes place during the Third Age of Quoin. It began some 212 years after the Day of Silence, which marked the end of the Second Age. Rumors swirl as to what caused the Day of Silence, but one thing is certain: the Gods went silent and heroes lost their powers.

Since the Day of Silence, empires and kingdoms have collapsed, having no magic or abilities to support them. The world is comprised of many independent city-states struggling to survive against the encroaching wilderness. Monsters and wild beasts run rampant and threaten the daily lives of normal people. The Eladrin, their cities, and many of the Gnomes disappeared on the Day of Silence. The Elves are stretched thin protecting the Elruunan Forest, without their Eladrin cousins to help.

The game began in the Elven city of Dimlain, with the local Council of Seven deciding to send three representatives, Ainerun Cionaoith, Landrovel Amancair, and Carric Himcairion, to the nearby human city-state of Sebohin to hire adventurers to help protect the forest. The three set off, despite their differences, and found people in their own different ways and different locations. Amongst the adventurers hired were: Leonis, a young follower of Andrikos; Crescendo, a tiefling entertainer; Maveith, a goliath bodyguard; and Mikail Volkova, a former mercenary.

During their travels to the Elruunan Forest, they experienced an earthquake, fights against goblinoids and wolves, heartbreaking losses, and amazing discoveries. Each of the surviving adventurers has found a source of power within themselves; one that hasn’t been seen in over 200 years.

This campaign follows these adventurers as they discover their new-found powers, grieve over fallen friends, defend a nation under siege, seek answers to untold questions, and ascend beyond mere adventurers to the ranks of true heroes.
