The traveling extravaganza known as the Witchlight Carnival visits your world once every eight years. You have a dim memory of sneaking into the carnival as a child without paying for a ticket. That memory has grown foggy over time, though it still conjures a weird admixture of emotions—wonder and awe mixed with loss and regret. During this childhood visit, your character lost something. You tried to find it, but the carnival owners—a pair of elves named Mister Witch and Mister Light—were decidedly unhelpful.

"Silly little screeching cricket," said Witch. "You forgot to buy a ticket."

"The carnival goes round and round," said Light. "The multiverse is our playground. Nothing's free and nothing's lost. Every visit has its cost."

As time passed, your heart became less heavy, and you gave less and less thought to those childhood events. Now, for reasons you can't explain, the longing to retrieve that which you have lost has resurfaced, as though an old spell has faded away, allowing you to feel the loss as sharply as if it happened yesterday.

The Witchlight Carnival has returned, and you find yourself standing near a ticket booth by the entrance at twilight, just as the carnival is about to open. There you meet others who look as troubled as you. Without knowing how or why, you sense that each of them has lost something as well. Perhaps fate has brought you together.



Ah, but that is only one story.
Yours may be a bit different for the start.
Are you in search of glory?
Or simply seeking a hart?

Whatever it may be...
Come one, Come All!
This is a place of glee!
Pay a visit to our stalls!

This is the Witchlight Carnival!

Going to need to slightly alter my character... mostly to get him back to level 1. Shouldn't be hard, but it'll take more time than I'd be willing to spend on it tonight.

@Guardian Angel Haruki I'm gonna go an interesting route, have the Urchin background. Escaped a life of poverty in Waterdeep, due to his talent with the sword. Taken in by an old swordsman to be taught the craft. Or maybe not meh

So we got a druid and a bard. I'm too lazy to bring the Yuan-ti down to level two so I'll just make a new one. I've got a pretty interesting idea for a backstory. Gonna be using a gnome artificer if that's alright.

Just for clarification, is this set in Forgotten Realms or some other setting?

@XxFellsingxX I believe the Witchlight Fens exist in FR but don't quote me, I'll look it up.

Apparently it can be any, I just hope it's FR cause my character was going to be from Waterdeep.

@XxFellsingxX @Dark Cloud The Carnival itself will be in the Forgotten Realms. However, as the module continues, you'll find the setting will change... ;)
