Cities in the Void

For decades, demons have ruled the Worldwound. Fearsome fiends of every stripe—their mottled skin harder than iron, teeth like serrated blades, and eyes burning with Abyssal flames—roam the ruined lands that were once known as Sarkoris, leaving their mark wherever they go. Four crusades have attempted to cleanse the land, but each seems to meet a worse fate than the last. Were it not for the line of magical wardstones along the eastern and southern borders, the demons would have long ago overrun north-central Avistan and beyond. The Fourth Crusade hasn’t really ended as much as petered out, yet some refuse to accept that. Amid crippling shortages and record lows in morale among the crusaders, the Mendevian war effort teeters on the brink of collapse. Though the demonic occupation of the Worldwound is growing, as is corruption among the crusaders, a dwindling minority of paladins and priests maintain that the Fourth Crusade is still vibrant and alive, and that the turning point in the war is only a few days away. The Fourth Crusade is anything but vibrant, but the crusaders are more right than they know about the approaching turning point in the war. It’s just that the turning point is likely destined to favour the Abyss... Hello! My name's Ed, and I'm looking to play a 2nd edition conversion of one of Pathfinder's most well-known Adventure Paths: Wrath of the Righteous. A little bit about me, I'm 27 and have been playing TTRPGs for nine years, dming for five and have, as of this year, started dming Pathfinder 2nd edition. Wrath of the Righteous is a game I've wanted to play for a while, and I thought I'd come looking for people interested. I'm in Australia, and the AEST (GMT+10) time zone can be difficult to work around for some, but if the difference doesn't phase you don't be afraid to sign up! I'd prefer playing with people over 18 but its not a hard rule.

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ Friendly! 🌱 New Player Friendly! Deep in the jungles of the Mwangi Expanse lies the Magaambya, one of the oldest academies for magical learning in the world! For thousands of years generation after generation of students have sought knowledge here, and now it is your turn! 🧙🏿‍♂️ Magical Academy Setting 🎓 The adventure will take you through the entirety of your academic career, possibly spanning decades. While you may be barely able to cast a cantrip, as you join as an initiate, by the midpoint of the campaign you'll have become a teacher yourself imparting what wisdom you have learned to a new generation of students. Of course, doing homework and grading exams is not all you will do. No, fairly early on in your stay at the Magaambya you will get wrapped up in a mysterious conspiracy. While at first you'll have to deal with a strange gremlin infestation or fight off giant insects, seemingly unconnected threats will start coming together, to reveal a far larger threat, not only to the school, but to the world! 🌳 Unique Location 🪘 The Mwangi Expanse, where the game takes place, is heavily inspired by African culture and heritage, which makes it distinct from the more traditional Eurocentric, medieval-inspired setting that most Adventure Paths present, giving it its own unique flair and flavor. 🎲 Full Level Experience 📚 Unlike most modern APs, the Strength of Thousands Adventure Path covers the full range from level 1 to level 20. Grow from humble beginnings to legends! ⚔️ DEI Friendly ✊🏿 The Magaambya is a very inclusive place, and you will find all kinds of unusual creatures here. Ancestries like undead or artificial ones are welcome, as long as they play by the same rules that apply to everyone else. And even traditionally non-magical classes like fighters or rogues will have their place in the academy! 🚫 Comparison to that "other" magic school (you know which one) 🚫 This is not a place for children. Your characters are all adults, albeit young ones are quite possible. Yet there is no age restriction and quite a few students come to the Magaambya in their later years. It's also more akin to a university than a boarding school. Find out more and sign up on StartPlaying by clicking here!
