Prelude: Breaking the Sunless Siege

[Ironside]

The green fields of Cormyr have given way to frost-choked needles of ice, and her people are scattered to the four winds.  During the initial nights of terror and bloody murder, the Purple Dragons and War Wizards mounted many a campaign.  The thousand rolling banners of Cormyr billowed bravely in blackened sky, and the noble men of the Dragon marched onward to what would surely be a heroic triumph.

...They faltered and broke, and the purple standard was trampled by the listless marching step of thralls.

It has been four years.

Four long, and grueling years.  The scant survivors of the kingdom resign themselves to slow starvation, carving out a miserable and small existence in what few safe places remain.  The holdfast of Bogbrooke, a township in the southern reaches of Cormyr, is one such place.  A small band of fighting men maintain the crumbling keep, safeguarding a score or more frightened and dead-eyed commonfolk.  Though all the world is pitted against them, and though all hope of salvation has long since been burned away, these few fight on -- for what else can man do?


I am looking for a handful (no more than five!) serious players to play a member of this group of haggard soldiers.  PCs will be veterans of the long Cormyrian struggle for survival.  They will have served as members of the Purple Dragons (Or War Wizards!), and therefore should have a fairly military-minded outlook. 

If this interests you, please contact DM's Ironside and Samophlange on Discord.

Some aspects of the prelude will be divulged one on one, to those who are approved.

Lots of interest came in.  We will take the week to sort out the participants.  You will be notified if you made the cut!
