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

The Lightward Guild Hall serves as a vibrant hub within Lightward Bastion, bustling with adventurers seeking purpose and camaraderie. At the entrance, clerks assign quests and post notices, while the common bar buzzes with the sounds of clinking tankards and rowdy tales, presided over by a barkeep who knows every adventurer’s favorite drink. Winding halls lead to simple sleeping quarters adorned with gear and mementos, and a library filled with tomes on magic and monsters offers a quiet refuge for scholars. Scattered offices house the Guild’s council, cluttered with reports and artifacts, where weighty decisions are made to combat the rise of Grimdark.

Appearance

A lively and chaotic atmosphere filled with the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and the rustle of parchment. The walls are adorned with banners of past heroes and shelves filled with books and artifacts.
