# 🐉 The Vestiges of Aetheris

## 🌆 Overview

Legends can save the world. They can also destroy it.
Journey across the western continent of Aetheris, a land shaped by dragons, ancient magic, and the scars of the Titan War. Long ago, the legendary Five Champions defeated the Giants and became heroes of history—but something has changed. The very champions who once protected the realm have vanished after turning against the people they once swore to defend.
As forgotten powers awaken and old alliances begin to fracture, your party must uncover the truth behind their fall. Explore ancient ruins, forge alliances between kingdoms and races, battle terrifying foes, and make choices that will shape the future of Aetheris.
Whether you're completely new to Dungeons & Dragons or a seasoned adventurer, this story-driven campaign welcomes players ready to become part of an epic fantasy adventure.
