    Episode 1: Oath of Defiance

    Step into the world of Oathbreaker, where magic isn't just power—it's controlled, regulated, and weaponized by those in authority. This premiere episode introduces you to five unlikely heroes who've found common ground in their resistance to the Tower, a mysterious organization that requires all magic users to register their blood or face deadly consequences. Xanifer, the unpredictable eladrin sorcerer; Quill, a human fighter hiding beneath imposing armor and magical runes; Dane, a half-elf cleric leading a double life as a Tower bounty hunter; Zane, a half-orc warlock bound by mysterious obligations; and Nelvax, a human monk with underworld connections—each brings their own secrets and skills to this uneasy alliance. When a desperate halfling loses a precious Kotal feather—a rare artifact from a benevolent creature that once saved humanity—to the flames of an angry bugbear casino owner, our adventurers find themselves drawn into a conflict that touches on debts, family heirlooms, and potentially dangerous political connections. Their journey takes them from the welcoming atmosphere of the Lucky Leap tavern to the opulent and slightly sinister Triple Nine casino, where negotiations quickly reveal the complex web of power they're entangled in. This first adventure sets the stage for what promises to be an epic campaign of moral choices, magical rebellion, and the constant question of who to trust in a world where even speaking out can be deadly. Will our heroes challenge the Tower's iron grip on magic? Or will they be forced to play by rules designed to control them? Subscribe now to follow this band of reluctant rebels as they navigate a high fantasy world with darkly political undertones, where every spell cast comes with consequences, and freedom might be the most powerful magic of all. The start of our new campaign. Episode 0 is our introduction to our characters and our players figuring out how they interact with our world and NPCs.
