Sign up to play in a Summer D&D campaign with GM Zia!
The scenario takes place in Bremen, the remote village and part of the area collectively known as ten towns, located in Icewind Dale. Icewind dale is ruled by Auril the frostmaiden, who keeps a spell over the area, so that the sun will never rise and winter will never end. To keep the ire of the frost maiden at bay, all the villages of ten towns must sacrifice something, the biggest towns sacrifice people, the others food, and the smallest (like Bremen) who have nothing else to spare sacrifice warmth.
When each of the adventurers was approached by a snow white great horned owl. The owl said that warmth was not enough, and neither was food, the thing that the frost maiden wanted was people. The adventurers have been tasked with finding a worthy sacrifice.
The adventurers is player driven (though they are given a objective) and mainly heist based, with politics or combat as well (depending on what players choose)
