The Lost Lords 3.5E Homebrew Campaign

Hi everyone! We've recently kicked off a fresh campaign that my DM has built and fleshed out over the past several years. This campaign features a heavy mix of intense combat and roleplay, including a vast amount of exploration and lore through a variety of environments, encounters, and locations.

Campaign Information

We currently have 4 players with some auxiliary players that occasionally pop in to help the party throughout the campaign. We're looking for approximately 3 additional players, but can accommodate more if people are interested.

I personally joined about a year and half ago, but the group as a whole has been playing on/off for the past several years. We're very welcoming to all players whether they're new to D&D or are absolute veterans.

Our play schedule is pretty active, around 1-3 sessions per week. We're scattered around the US, but we typically get together around 7pm EST to midnight EST.

We have a server on Discord and we use Tabletop Simulator for our sessions. If you're not familiar with those programs we're happy to help you get introduced.

The Story So Far

In ancient times, Gods walked alongside their mortal children through the world they sculpted, their paradise. For centuries peace reigned, until an event known as the Gods-war, and the ensuing Shadow Wars. For more than two ages, the war desolated the land, and most of the mortal races. Their safety came about when a God known as The Deep One ushered the survivors into great cities underground, where they lived until the war above passed.

When the various races of Folk emerged, the Gods were gone from the world, and the forces of Shadow with them. Most found it was time to rebuild, and set about recreating life above-ground. It was here when the Nation of Rhyssia rose from the ruins of the God’s greatest city, and expanded rapidly across the face of the land. They subjugated their fellow man, and pacified the Elves in the West. To the East, they drove the Shadow-corrupted Orcs into the badlands and deserts, and began erecting a great wall to keep them out. For Two Centuries the Rhyssian Empire has thrived, colonizing in the South, and keeping the barbaric Greenskin forces at bay in the East, while the wall crawled ever Northward, splitting the continent in two.

Recently, during a great skirmish with an Orc horde by forces lead by the Emperor himself, a great meteor struck across the sky, and slammed into the frigid North. Since this event, the Emperor and his army have disappeared. Meanwhile, another Orc Horde struck deep in the South of the Empire, in a Nation-State known as Sojourner’s Rest, The Duchy of Darmondy was quickly lost, and now a rag-tag band of adventurers finds themselves in the Duchy of Norgas as a horde of orcs descends upon them.
