Hello one and all!
So I had this idea in my mind for the past few years and I have really struggled with wanting to be a GM in Casual/Advanced but always chickened out so I am thinking of trying this as a 1 on 1 experience and if it goes well enough. I might push it into a group setting. I have something of a plot in mind though it can be flexible as there are several plot points that can be taken in any random order. This being a one on one experience we will be playing multiple characters chances are but you will have your Main character and I shall have mine. If any of whats below interests you please send me a Message!
Weigh your worth. Before her majesty, the Veridian River.
There exists a large tribe of wolves that exists by a large emerald green river. Water so pure and clear, one could probably see into its depths if the sunlight dared to travel that far. The River is so wide and vast that one cannot even see to the other side of its banks even with wolfen sight. The tribe known as Wolf-totem has two leaders, though one has long since vanished. The Eldest who was the embodiment of might and strength. A literal god amongst wolves according to the bedtime stories you listened to as a cub. The eldest led the wolves from the deepest of the wilds hundreds of miles away to this valley of paradise. Then there is the Wolf-Father, the oldest living member of the tribe. Whispers amongst wolves claim him to be over thousands of years old and he was once second in command after the Eldest.
The Wolf-Father now leads the tribe in it's daily decisions and also leads the worship and the reverence that the tribes deity deserves. The Veridian River. One might ask why this beautiful and other worldly large river gets worship. It is because of the magic contained within it's waters and it's beautiful Lady Veridian who was the one who blessed the wolves in turn for their service. Her magic combined with natural magic of the water have caused the wolves to live much longer then physically possible. It has also blessed them with the ability to change their forms into more humanoid forms. Giant wolves that walk on two legs. Some might be more humanoid then others while some might be more beastly but it would be impossible to ever mistake one for a human. Not that the wolves of Wolf-Totem would even know what a human was outside of old sketchings of them. Humans haven't been seen in thousands of years and most of the wolves are ignorant of such a race.
The Valley that the Eldest and Wolf-Father called paradise has fallen from grace lately. Something sinister has been afoot in the valley, the neighboring Kobolds, the Ratmen of the mountain, far to the south in their stone city Chicory have stopped trading with Wolf-Totem. Any warriors or scouts sent on the long journey to investigate have not returned. Much the same can be said of the forest trolls that reside west of Wolf-Totem. It seems they have all but vanished from their homes and dark effigies hang from the trees that seem to emanate strange whispers. Nightmares roam into the wolf children's dreams if they stray to close to those woods and one does not even want to begin to discuss the Daymares that can be only be seen out of the corner of your eye while out and about in broad daylight. Even worse Lady Veridian has not been seen in months despite the Wolf-Father's best efforts to contact her.
What will become of Wolf-Totem at this rate?
