About the Campaign
As a recruit in the Starshard Banner, you’ll venture into the Riftspan, a perilous and enigmatic pocket dimension shaped by ancient catastrophe. Your mission? Explore its fractured lands, recover lost relics, and uncover the secrets of the Solaen Collapse—all while collaborating with your fellow adventurers to survive the challenges ahead.
The world is a fractured land, shaped by the catastrophic event known as The Solaen Collapse. Centuries ago, a fifth of the once-mighty nation of Tharnis was obliterated in an instant, leaving behind a planar scar that severed communities and reshaped the world’s history. While Tharnis fell, the Collapse impacted regions far beyond its borders. Trade routes were broken, neighboring powers struggled with waves of refugees, and the arcane forces unleashed destabilized planar boundaries, creating pockets of wild magic and dangerous anomalies.
The most recent discovery, however, has the potential to change everything: the Riftspan, a pocket dimension linked to the Collapse, accessible through a gateway called The Anchor. Only The Starshard Banner, a mercenary company operating in secrecy, knows the true connection between the Riftspan and the Collapse. Recruits are being sent through this mysterious breach, tasked with charting its unstable terrain, securing its resources, and uncovering the secrets buried in its depths.
