💀Something is rotten in the Kingdom of Aglarion💀

Play in what is probably the most widely anticipated 3rd party adventure of 2022 for 5th Edition D&D. Crown of the Oathbreaker is a massive 900+ page campaign that has everything from palace intrigue to adventure in the fey realm, shadow realm and even into hell itself.

The book is based on the feedback of over 2000 D&D fans whose votes on their preferences gave the backbone of the adventure and the campaign setting. The community influenced the fine details of the story and the setting through Elderbrain’s Discord server. Crown of the Oathbreaker also includes over 200 NPCs, their locations, and portraits based on the actual photos of members of the Elderbrain community.

The story is set in the Kingdom of Aglarion, where the characters will uncover dark secrets from the past of a royal family after the fall of a blessed era and break a curse that plagues the kingdom.

The players will have to explore lands ravaged by the curse and travel to the Feyrealm, the Shadowrealm, and even Hell, where they will face hard moral dilemmas before saving the crown from the dreadful effects of an otherwise inevitable pact. A sinister bargain has caused suffering for the people of the land and has created a mad witch-knight hungering for revenge.

This campaign will cover levels 5 - 15, with its sequel Torrents of the Spellhoarder coming after for levels 15 -20.

The land known today as the Kingdom of Aglarion has a rich past spanning thousands of years, influenced by cataclysmic events that involved multiple planes of existence. Since the dawn of time and prehistory, all the way up to its current state as a monarchy, the land and its rulership has changed many times. Several key events have shaped its past, namely the descent of the Dark Star and its dark angels during the Mountainfall, the rise of Sarath of the Shining Light and a cruel theocracy, and the establishment of the Kingdom of Aglarion by King Razmyrel Melkar and Master Arlen the Constructor, the first archmage of the land. These events have all left deep marks on the history of the realm and the legacies of these dark times can still be felt in the fabric of society.

The Kingdom of Aglarion is known as a thriving realm. Times of plenty and an open-minded philosophy have resulted in a level of tolerance for beings of all types rarely encountered in other settings. The Kingdom is rich, its armies strong and well-equipped, and the rule of law is paramount under a popular king. But even in
these tranquil times, the Kingdom of Aglarion is a realm filled with adventure and dangers that lurk behind the veil of peace, reaching into other planes and deep into its history.

Despite that, she didn't set the tankard down, and was soon taking another deep drink. "You misunderstand my intent, Sorceress!" She said with gusto, at last setting the tankard down and trying the food. This too didn't meet her standards, her lips curling in distaste, but as before she kept eating. "I usually hunt your kind, when the work comes my way, but I bear you no ill will. I just like Magehunting." Which was an understatement to be certain, she loved it. Like her mother before her, she been raised as a Magehunter, to seek out those mortal willworkers and sorcerers who had offended her Master upon the Material Plane. Upon coming of age, she been empowered with a drop of Faryl's blood, granting her an insignificant measure of the ancient Vampire's power. A taste of Necromancy, infusing her magic and her soul with his essence. So it was that on the night of her 35th birthday, she was discovered hauling herself bodily out of the Bottomless Well in the South District of Onadbyr. She knew little enough of the strange land within which she'd found herself, but she was not alone. Another of the Court of Ash came with her, her half-brother Jeeran Renalish. Besides, the two had been granted everything they needed. Armor to shield her flesh from cold iron, wards to break even the mightiest spell, and a name. Kalos Poimenikos, high Grave Cleric of the Temple of Death. That was three years ago, in mortal reckoning, and now Saara was far more worldwise than when she had first emerged dripping from the well. She hasn't seen Jeeran in almost nine months, the work pulling them apart more often than it brings them together. Her higher calling had taken her to the Isles of Xantharos twice now, chartering passage and hunting down the few Scions of the Father of Dragons who remain. "And you? You were good at it too. Happy to share coin with you for a job well done." Mechanics Main Hand: Empty Off Hand: Empty Action: Bonus Action: Move: Manipulate:

    I'm so sorry Draidden, wishing you a speed recovery. Rest. People try and get back to work as soon as they feel better, and then they end up giving themselves long COVID.

Approaching the Cheeky Mermaid, she wonders what delights she might find inside to tickle her dulled senses. However, despite the grandeur of its main hall, the place seems to offer little in the way of temptation...particularly not in comparison to the pulse-raising experiences of the last few days. As Baldur comments on the arachnid situation, she shrugs. "I've no fear of spiders this size...though I do wonder if these are just the babies! Then we really will need a watch!!!" she jokes. Saara has located some possible work for the group, should the Lord no longer require their services, and Ru likes the idea...sailors, pirates, a life on the ocean wave...whatever happens their seems to be a chance of danger ahead. "I erm...I hope you've found me a useful companion...I know you had your concerns..." she comments to Saara, "...but if you'll have me, I'd be happy to continue on with you.

"Hoping we've earned the Lord's Favor with today's work. But if we haven't, we can come back tomorrow and talk to the good Captain there to find some work." She nodded in Captain Blimbo's direction. She was keeping their options open, but she didn't want to make promises to the Captain if they ended up in Monder's regular employ. Between the two, she knew whose favor she wanted. Nothing wrong with hedging bets. "For now though, let's get some drinks, keep our hands on our coin purses, and get some rest."

    Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford “Know of any work for a swordarm or a witchhunter?” Saara inquired of the innkeeper. Though she was more adept at hunting witches, she was competent with a sword as well. She hoped for a busy schedule, but it was always wise to have backup options in case Lord Monder was dissatisfied with their service. Saxlu responded with a knowing smile, “Not the right place for witchhunters… but swordarms, yes. Ships and their crews are always in need of strong hands.” She gestured towards a man sitting alone, an eyepatch covering one eye. “Captain Blimbo over there might be looking for some help.” BLOOD ON THE CROWN Onadbyr On this Selik, the 35th day of Camua, In the 631st year of the Age of Kings 9:23 pm Day 6 Scene Information: It is 2 coppers for the meal, and 1 silver for the cot for the night.

They'd need to set a watch, to ensure the woke up with all their hard earned coin in the same place. She had to break a gold coin to pay for the room and board, splitting it into silver and copper to pay for everything. It had been a while since her backpack had been that full of coin, which felt good. Not yet enough though, hopefully the Lord would regard their service kindly, despite the death of his friends. They'd done all they could, moved as swiftly as they could. There had been little they could have done differently that might have resulted in the Baron and his family surviving the encounter. "Quiet night." She said to the proprietor as she paid for her meal. "Know of any work for a Swordarm or a Witchunter?" She was much more the later than the former, but she was a fair hand at both. She hoped they'd be busy, but on the off chance Lord Monder was displeased with their service it never hurt to have backup options.

  12. bwatford
    Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford With their prisoner securely dealt with, the group sought a place to rest for the night, somewhere nearby where they could reach Lord Monder at first light. The closest option was just a few blocks away—a seaside inn known as the Cheeky Mermaid, situated just outside the Fish Gate. The Cheeky Mermaid was a quaint, single-story wooden building with a roof that had seen better days, its thatch patchy and worn. The inn’s common room was surprisingly grand, a vast ballroom with a large bar and numerous tables, capable of accommodating the full crews of several ships at once. The innkeeper, a willowy human woman named Saxlu, appeared rather absent-minded, frantically searching for a missing set of keys as the group arrived. The evening’s fare was humble: spelt porridge and a mug of beer for two coppers. Accommodations were equally modest, consisting of a single large room in the basement furnished with wooden cots, available for one silver. The inn also had a noticeable infestation of spiders, which Saxlu assured them was being addressed. The common room was sparsely populated, with only two patrons present. One was a female halfling peasant, her wide-brimmed hat looking rather uncomfortable. The other was a human man with an eyepatch, who nodded in acknowledgment as the group entered. Rooms were quickly secured, and a meal was ordered, allowing the group to finally relax after a long day.

The nod was genuine, for Saara appreciated a mortal who adhered to the letter of the law when it came to contracts and bindings. So few on this plane did, making promises and breaking them with hardly a care in the world. There was no higher binding power to her, having been raised as she was by the Fey. If she gave her word on anything, she'd die before breaking it. "We'll retire for the evening so that we can aim to meet with Lord Monder at first light, thereby resolving this entire unpleasant business as quickly as possible." She said aloud, as much to her companions as to the guard. They'd made good coin this day, but there were matters to attend to bright and early. The sooner they retired and made ready, the better.

    Just a heads up as well, we will be leaving Thursday for vacation and will be gone July 11th - 19th, so there will be no updates during that time.
  15. bwatford
    Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford Saara busied herself explaining their undertaking as her companions produced the writ from Lord Monder. Although the writ gave them no official authority to arrest or detain anyone, it was Saara’s final statement that caught Jacob’s attention and perked his ear. “Is it really your intent to meddle in the affairs of Nobles?” she asked pointedly. Before Jacob could respond, another voice chimed in, “You wouldn’t want to let a murderer walk away free on your watch, would ya?” Jacob’s resolve began to waver. There was duty, and then there were times when one had to make a call that bordered on the rules and what was right. Technically, there was a process to arrest and apprehend someone, designed to protect innocent citizens from arrest without cause. But this situation seemed different, especially since it involved Lord Monder, his highest superior short of the royal palace itself. He ordered his men to take the man into custody but then turned to address those who had brought him. “Just keep in mind, this writ is not a bounty, and no law has been officially broken as of yet. It is just your words that accuse this man. However, I see no reason not to hold him until first light, when I expect to hear word from my superiors on what to do with him. If we do not hear anything before high sun tomorrow, we will be forced to release him.” His gaze turned stoic once again. “But be mindful, vigilante justice is not tolerated. There are proper ways to go about things,” he warned, looking directly at Saara. “Even for bounty hunters.” With that, he ushered the captive inside and motioned for the group to depart the gate.

It was a ritual, a compact. He was demanding that she perform the required steps of the contract, and she didn't have the components needed. Could she really blame him for honoring the terms he was supposed to follow. She could do little put play the game as it was written, and hope she could turn it to some advantage. "The Red Cloak Lawgivers are, as of yet, unaware of this one's transgressions." She gestured for her party to produce the documents of their writ. "Lord Monder retained us to retrieve a prized mare who was stabled at the estate of his dear friend, Baron Rumlyn. Upon arriving at said estate, we found the stables burning, and the Baron and his family abducted and dragged to the nearby mill. We attempted to mount a rescue, and were waylaid by this ruffian, who was in the employ of the Cultists. His actions cost us the precious seconds it would have taken to intervene, and by the time we made it past him and his brothers, the Baron, the Baroness, and their child had been murdered by Diabolists to fuel their dark magicks." She did not say who those Cultists had been, not wishing to spread the word that Countess Inper of House Maritayl had been involved. "Now, upon first light we intend to inform Lord Monder of the brutal murder of his dear friend and said friend's kin, is it really your intent to meddle in the affairs of Nobles?

    Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford Jacob Hammersmith, whose knowledge of the bounty hunter was limited to whispered tales, felt a stir of wariness at her abrupt arrival. As Saara presented the captive, her allegations cut through the night’s stillness, demanding attention. Jacob’s gaze sharpened, a reflection of his diligence rather than dread, as he evaluated both the accused and the accuser. “Accusations hold no more weight than a beggar’s coin, Saara Renalish,” Jacob countered, his tone unyielding. “Darkness may shroud many secrets, but verity outshines the brightest star. Present the evidence of this man’s transgressions.” With a gesture towards the established order, he underscored the necessity of adherence to the Army’s code. “Papers of accusation, the bounty’s worth, and a Red Cloak Lawgiver's emblem,” he demanded, “These are the keys to justice’s gate. Without them, I cannot take this man into custody.” In the face of uncertainty, Jacob’s resolve stood firm, an embodiment of the law and the disciplined order of the Royal Army, ensuring that it is the scales of justice, not the whispers of suspicion, that determine one’s destiny at the barracks’ gates. Without a proper writ of arrest, or a signed document from the magistrate, Jacob was unable to take the man into custody without witnessing a crime.

It was what she enjoyed best, of the duties bestowed upon her. She wasn't one hundred percent certain she'd crossed paths with this particular guard before, Hammersmith? The mortals always had such mundane names. "Well met, Hammersmith." She called out, as none of the others amongst her party seemed interested in taking up the Dwarf's offer. "We've a bandit and a murderer here, one who has committed heinous crimes against the nobility. Lord Monder himself will wish to question him personally, given it was his friends who died at the cultist's hands." She hauled the farmhand forward, making to remove his manacles so that she didn't lose them. No way she was getting those back, if the guardsman took custody of their prisoner.

    Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford The group’s journey northward was marked by the familiar silhouette of the colossal iron boots, a testament to the Giant Boots Tavern’s storied past. The tavern, named for its owner’s legendary triumph over a fire giant, stood as a beacon of history on the main road if one were to believe the stories the owner told. Baldur paused before the tavern’s entrance, mindful that the soldiers who frequented it would likely be off duty and indifferent to their prisoner. They pressed on, passing the silent Curious Calligrapher shop and arriving at the House of the Soldier. The barracks of the Royal Army loomed ahead, a formidable compound with a single gate guarded by youthful sentinels under the watchful gaze of an old warrior named Jacob Hammersmith. Despite his imposing presence, Baldur perceived him as easily swayed. Convinced that no other place was more fitting for their prisoner, Baldur turned to his companions before approaching the gate.

How late was it? Had the witching hour already passed? She felt exhausted, so it was hard to truly say. "Let's find an inn, get as much sleep as we can, and present ourselves to him first thing." The Lord in question would not be pleased to learn of the death of his friend, but they had adhered to the letter and the spirit of their contract with him. Perhaps his grief at the brutal murder of his friend and their family would be assuaged by vengance. Not against the farmboy, though she was sure he'd face justice, but against the other members of the cult. Saara didn't actually know if there were other members of the cult, but she hoped they would be tasked with finding out. "We'll need to set a watch on this one, but if we share a large room that shouldn't be hard." She pulled the manacled prisoner behind her for emphasis.
