Campaign Overview – Greyhawk
Season 1 is set in the land of Greyhawk, home of the greatest city in Oerth, the Grand City of Greyhawk. Greyhawk dates back to the 1970’s and the beginnings of Dungeons and Dragons. The Players come from various locations in Greyhawk, brought together by a mysterious message.
Over time, they have learned that there are deeper connections between the Characters than they realized. Our Heroes are collectively called the Party or ‘ NAB’, which has a hidden meaning. The Characters inform people that ‘NAB’ is ‘Notorious and Battleborn’.
This Campaign is a combination of Modules and Homebrew, with some connected Lore and Character Backstories that can be intricate. Even the Players don’t know all the Character connections and what Evil lurks in the land. This Overview and Lists are hopefully helpful for our Podcast Listeners to keep track of the NPCs and Organizations in this Campaign.
Acolytes of Suel
The major Organization that the Party is facing is the Acolytes of Suel. The Acolytes are a hidden group within the Scarlet Brotherhood, and have the goal to rule Greyhawk. They believe in the doctrine of ‘by any means necessary’, including murder, kidnapping , bribery and torture. They are incredibly well financed. It is unknown how many Mayors, Governors or Kings are either members or under their influence. They see political power as a means to their desired end.
The Acolytes have also paid for bounties on the NAB, and have successfully captured NAB member Marquail. Out to find their friend, the Party investigated, killed or captured members including Ennen Rathicor and Antonius Sabia. Through a tentative partnership, they were able to get the bounty removed. Futher investigations revealed that the Acolytes have a prison hidden in the Griff Mountains.
Over the campaign, the Party learned in addition to Marquail’s capture, that Brynn’s Sisters, long thought to be dead were alive and in the hands of the Acolytes.
