So, this is my first truly fleshed out campaign that is going excellent and well. If anyone is interested I will post this as much as possible and add extra info as I am able to.
First to summarize the world:
Astaria! Named for the ancient Elven Titan of the same name whom was in their great Pantheon, called the Tide Empress, or Queen of the Typhoon and sometimes the Coral Queen. This stormy Titan suites the world that bares her name as it is a world of tranquil summers, but intense rainy winters. Five hundred and thirty years ago the collective members of the Ashangon, or Great Ark fled our doomed world of Madara for another. Of the 10 million souls, who arrived on this alien world, many perished in the first years. However the collective races number 75 million today spread across the bottom south west of the main continent dubbed Madara for our original home.
The world is divided into many Dominions, Ethnic Colony States, Colony Provinces, and myriad of political orders as people settled and migrated across the many parts of our new world.
Orbiting above is a pale Silver and Blue moon, Caledon, named for the Elven Titan of Time and lover of Astaria. Astaria itself is 80% covered in water, is the second planet from its parent star and save for the typhoons and intense rain seasons, is a warm, hospitable world. To date, we have encountered no intelligent life, though ruins and megalithic structures indicate it may have once walked across its this world.
So with that intro out of the way, lets introduce the cast of characters:
Annu Human Cleric of the Sun. Born in the Colony State of Khemit, or New Khemit she is a proud inheritor of her people. A fervent devote of knowledge and healing, she studied in monastic schools and has considerable knowledge of Alien ruins and oddities. She is wise, cautious and careful, but lacks social experience and is haunted by peculiar visions and dreams.
Doggit Stonefoot Dwarf Barbarian, of the famed Stonefoot line whom have often been among the first brave rough and tumble pioneers in an area. He carries this legacy with pride though he is the last male in the line and the last with the last name. Though many dwarves now claim the lineage. His sisters vow his death if he should get himself killed, how they intend to carry through with it? Anyone's guess. Though he is a heavy drinker, part of it is his own existential crisis of if he can live up to, and carry on the family name.
"Nikoli" Mikatzu Dark Elf (Drow by 5e stats) Paladin with a Lawful Evil bent. He will exercise judgement in the name of the Spider! The Spider being the Dark Elven Arch-Fey spirit of community or "She whose web binds us all!" He is intense, capable, and knows how to drive an automobile. He is a passionate defender of the community and will pursue that goal ruthlessly, but he has his secrets. His masked homosexuality could be his end in these times of deeply natalistic cults.
Trisha Van Tassel Half Elf Wizard in training, tagging along as the party recruited the plucky young adult who was looking to prove herself to her superiors in the Survey Corp Arcana division. She is intelligent and capable but naive and inexperienced.
And now, the parties introductory quest information, the "Journey into Hell!"
ATTENTION! Communication lines via the Voxograph line has been knocked out with the Keldra Peninsula region. With Winter setting in it is the opinion of the High Command of the Vespis Dominion that troubles in the Keldra province merit investigation. One Ironclad steam vessel will be deployed from the Port of Khepsetu to travel and dock at Brimsholme and investigate the downed communication line. The province has been in turmoil since Winter set in after a reported accident at the Eastvale mine and an alleged spat of Labor violence. Contact with authorities has been gone for three weeks and the railroad is out due to flooding. A brief window exists between the current Typhoon and the next with which to investigate and secure peace if needed.
Date: 10/01/516
With that the team was recruited into a 50 man strong group to sail to the province and ensure its just another quiet rainy winter with no unpleasant events over the now month since last communication with the province.
