recruiting DND 5e 2024 🗓 TBD 👥 3-5 players

The holy city of Elturel has fallen—dragged screaming into the first layer of Hell. Baldur’s Gate teeters on the brink of the same damnation, and the line between hero and monster blurs with every desperate choice. Can you save a city that may not deserve salvation?

What to Expect

  • Heavy narrative and moral decision-making
  • Deadly combat with infernal enemies
  • Deals, corruption, and redemption
  • A journey from the streets of Baldur’s Gate to the fires of Avernus itself

Player Guidance

  • Create a character grounded in flawed ideals and inner conflict.
  • This is a story about what you’re willing to sacrifice to do what’s right—or what you call “right.”
  • Every choice leaves a mark, and Hell remembers all debts.
  • Ideal backgrounds: Acolyte, Soldier, Criminal, or Guild Artisan
  • Alignment flexibility encouraged, but cooperation is essential
