morgan_'s Candlekeep Mysteries from the Golden Vault

GM morgan_ · 7 players · posts Weekly

Seek out legendary treasures, right ancient wrongs, and maybe even save the kingdom! With careful planning and flawless execution, the glory—and rewards—will be yours for the taking. Dare you cross the threshold?


The kingdom of Ghalasine has withered this past year. Crops in Maerin have failed, the livestock in Vermeillon stands in the fields like stick figures, and the rain in the Vyridian Forest has dwindled. Having determined that a curse had been levied on the land, our heroes seek aid from a sage named Fistandia. Thus begins a series of loosely-connected adventures from Candlekeep Mysteries and Keys from the Golden Vault, beginning at 1st level and ending (hopefully) at 16th.

This is a dark fantasy (not grimdark) campaign with elements of intrigue and mystery. The setting is based on the locations from CM and KftGV but is not the Forgotten Realms, essentially a mishmash. I have taken inspiration from Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Berserk, The Mummy (1999), and The Lies of Locke Lamora while preparing this campaign (also Mission: Impossible II).
