[DnD][5e][Homebrew][PbP] [Online] homebrew world Story of the Sovereign looking for 3 players to flesh out the world some more.
DISCLAIMER : A god by the name of Oroullin has crafted this universe as a game to see who can sit atop the throne after 5,000 years. As such all races at the beginning of time have been given access to equal ages (Humans, elves, orcs, Homebrew Felyans and Barolyths) all typically enjoy a 130 year life span for a Sovereign in peak physical condition.
There are deities, I currently have 3 campaigns running through this universe but we will be exploring a different area of the world. Currently I have parties dealing with a memory altering cult after having previously won a wyvern race in a colosseum-like event. We will be starting our story else where.
In the mists of the Vareshi Highlands, a small town by the name of Hearth is home to a close knit town. Stories of the Sovereign have been lost to time and the books this town has access to come as hand me downs from the great city of Vitro to the north. Very few have sought guidance from the city of Vitro, among them is the Elder of Hearth who has called you all to his side on this fateful night. The world is at odds and the Sovereign are a thing of legend around these parts. The Elder is here to tell you that the marks on your wrist truly do mean something. The powers you've felt sparking off your fingertips, the conversations only you could hear, it had all been leading to this moment where you finally break free of the chains of normality and launch yourself into the life of a Sovereign. An adventure seeker bound by the precepts to further the Chapter in any way they see fit. How you ended up at Hearth is your own story, but for some reason or another, it all comes back to the mark on your wrist. A mark which to many around these parts is some party trick at best.
The year is 4,976. In the year 5,000 the world will come to an end and everything you know will be reset. As a Sovereign, you live a life across many timelines and occasionally go as far as to dream of these other lives you lived. Some Sovereign have remarked that obstacles have only been overcome upon light retrospect or upon reaching a fleeting stone, rare artifacts connecting the Material dimension to the dreamscape, the index, and beyond. Of course these are all simply myths to your ears as you are a simple local who has, for the most part been unaware of these stories. This will be your origin and the way we go from here is completely up to you. PHB Races only. We will create characters through DnDbeyond once I figure it all out.
For the beginning of these sessions, we will be doing and RP heavy campaign while you come to terms with your power and the reactions you'll receive from folks familiar with the Sovereign. All these things are determined but I'll leave it up to you to discover it. I'm hoping to run this adventure for three individuals. Let me know your character idea and I will let you know if you're right for the campaign. I'm looking for someone really invested in the worldbuilding aspects. Feel free to improvise once you've familiarized yourself with the basics of Felyite and Manipulation magic within the Chapter of Carthacombe. (Felyite and Manipulation magic being custom materials and a spell list I've created for this universe)
Do not come into this expecting your DnD lore to work. This is an entirely homebrew universe with the dreamscape, the Index and the material dimension all currently under construction.
FAQ answers
The Sovereign mark is a mark that individuals will be born with, as such it won't come as a surprise to them. The post stated about you all finding yourselves in a less connected portion of the world. This world isn't connected in the sense that knowledge is universal. The Sovereign are a mystery to the area we find ourselves in as I'm sure you can imagine, a world with such a large population and no way to reliably distribute information would lead to quite a few towns being without this knowledge. You'll be coming into this world with no knowledge of powers, discovering your abilities along the way.
High magic setting, felyite focused magics run throughout the land but there are wizards, sorcerers, etc. in the universe. This is the way I see it. Anybody in Carthacombe can be a monk or sorcerer or what have you, the Sovereign are the only one's powerful enough to push beyond level 1 2 or 3. Most regular people just simply dont possess the fortitude.
Day and time : 24/7. Characters can post on the discord server for this campaign. Chat with some people who are probably in the same world you're in along the way.
