ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

By royal decree and the whisper of sea and shadow, the time has come once more...

The Grand Ball of the Blood Coast
— A Night of Moonlight, Mystery, and Majesty —

Held but once each turning of the sun, this fabled evening calls upon nobles, adventurers, bards, and brigands alike to gather beneath the jeweled chandeliers of Castle Vaelthorne. From across the realms they will come — elves cloaked in starlight, dwarves in hammered gold, and warlocks whose names are sung in secrets.

Join us as the Blood Coast blooms with firelight and finery. Dance with royalty, sing with the famed, and drink deep from goblets etched with ancient runes. The air will shimmer with magic, music, and more than a few secrets — for on this night, masks may hide more than faces, and every whispered promise could change a kingdom.

When: The 13th Night of Emberfall
Where: The Moonstone Hall of Castle Vaelthorne, perched upon the cliffs of the Blood Coast
Attire: Finest formalwear — enchanted or otherwise. Masks encouraged. Weapons peace-bound.

All are invited — but only the bold will endure the night.

Let the revelry begin!

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Dungeons & Dragons is the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG). It is a cooperative, storytelling game where you and other players take on the roles of different characters within a story. As you play, your character will make friends and enemies, fight monsters, discover loot, and complete quests.

But while the goal of many games is to score the most points or win, the ultimate goal of D&D is to tell a story. There are dice and Basic Rules involved, and often maps and miniatures or tokens, but the tools that come into play most often are the imaginations of the players.
