Welcome to the Red Star Rising Campaign
Overview
The Red Star Rising is a campaign designed to be an immersive experience complete with elaborate plot lines, extensive subplots, and story-twists. It will feature many complex and fascinating characters that inhabit the world of Zyathé (zai-aw-thay), and take you to an elaborate, rich, and continuously growing world. The opening chapter to this campaign is called The Darkest Dream which will run 6-8 sessions.
You will take on the role of a young Frenta of the Hantaz troupe called the Blue Veil, and are now taking on more responsibilities during the final Carnivalle of the year. Tensions are high as the darkest and most dangerous night of the year is approaching - Darktide. You are tasked with keeping guests and your fellow Hanataz safe during the last event of the year, but things quickly start to get out of hand as the everyday trouble grows much larger than expected forcing you to fight weird and dangerous creatures, and explore dark and forgotten places to keep the Troupe safe.
The adventure will continue into a Chapter 2 and beyond where the choices you have made, and characters you become involved with change The Blue Veil's fate forever.
Player-Character Info
The world of Zyathé is expansive and contains MANY lands, peoples, and mysteries outside of the Red Star Rising campaign. The Darkest Dream and subsequent chapters will serve as an excellent introduction to the world, so I want to help guide you into taking on the role of a new adventurer exploring this strange new world and uncovering new powers about themselves.
If you love an information dump, and embrace a deep dive into a detailed and intricate history - all of that is available, but to make your character for this new campaign you only need to keep in mind three things:
- You are a young (or newish) member of the Blue Veil troupe and have developed strong bonds with these people that have accepted and taken care of you while so much of the world has turned its back on you. You are budding-heroes looking to help your troupe and each other improve their position in the world.
- You have one or two strong ties to some of the other members of the troupe, and some personal goal or desire that will be built upon to form your story of growth while guiding the direction of the campaign.
- Your character has a special blood
