Rise of the Damned

Tales from the void

Undead Titan in the Desert.jpg

Introduction

Enter a world born of celestial war and live the stories of a once united people long divided by fear. Join the game and help write the next chapter in their history! Let your choices shape the adventure as you move through a reactive world that reveals a realm of deep lore that tailors itself to your characters and their decisions!

 

The lore is original, yet uses all the familiar scaling and mechanics of D&D 5e, making it wholly accessible to players of every experience level. With original history, pantheon, maps, and more, there is a whole new universe to explore!

 

A massive game world powered by Roll20. Features 800+ battle maps with dynamic lighting, music and ambience, player-controlled assets, and half-decent voice acting.

Themes

Rise of the Damned is more than the name of this realm. The overt reference to the undead yields to a greater theme of people rising above adversity to breathtaking heights. At the heart of the Eꞇērēǝm are stories of mortals realizing their power and finding their voice in the cacophony of existence, against all odds. Through these stories we discover intrinsic truths:

 

 Absolute power is a lie. 

 

Morality is malleable.

 

Mortality is a gift.  

 

To be mortal is to be damned. ​An entity that recognizes its own damnation is a terrifying thing; it rises to inflict the fullest of itself upon the instance.
