Dawn Campaign
This article contains a brief overview of the main plotline of the Dawn Campaign.
The Dawn Campaign takes place during the Age of Creation, a time when The Five and their offspring were still in the process of creating the world of Tellandria and its inhabitants. The majority of the campaign will take place in the Cradle, the storied birthplace of humanoid civilization on the planet.
The central conflict of the Dawn Campaign will involve the Genesis, or creation, of a new demi-god/champion in the Cradle, which will come to be known as The Numen, who will literally fall out of the sky in a meteor-shower like event. The player characters will be hired by the Sovereign of Ahquet, Ubar Nasir to find The Numen. As the players try to track down where the Numen has gone and/or been taken to, they will need to contend with the forces of the various city-states of the Reza Floodplains, as well as the encroaching influence of the Yuan-Ti Ascendancy.
When the players do eventually find the Numen, they will need to decide what to do with them. They may choose to turn the Numen over to one of the City-States, or they may choose to help the Numen start their journey to godhood. In either case, once they have the Numen in their company, they will become a target of all sources of power in the Cradle, including the Gods themselves.
