Echoes of Grimdark - Lightward Beginnings.

D
Dymytri

"Echoes of Grimdark" begins in Lightward Bastion, a city built in defiance of the long-banished Demon Lord Grimdark. Heroes from all walks of life gather at the Lightward Guild, seeking glory, treasure, or revenge. Their journey starts in the upper floors of the Grimdark Vault—a vast, ever-shifting dungeon of monsters, traps, and ancient echoes of evil. This is the tale of their beginnings, their bonds, and the light they carry into the dark.


Author's Note: This is an adventure that begins at level 1, and is meant to introduce the players to the world. It is a work in progress that over time I hope to flesh out into a whole world of dungeon delving.

Description

(TRUE ID = Area 1)Lightward Bastion is a vibrant city built on the scorched threshold of the Grimdark Vault, serving as a rallying point for adventurers and misfits. It features the imposing Lightward Guild Hall at its center, where hopefuls pledge to confront the darkness, amidst a chaotic blend of cultures, traditions, and underground dealings.

Appearance

The city is surrounded by high stone walls, with flickering torches illuminating the streets. Colorful banners hang from buildings, and the air is filled with the sounds of laughter, clashing swords, and the distant hum of the cursed dungeon.
