A D&D Campaign - Started in 1999
Motto: "By Divine Right"
After the death of Michael Roele, the empire shattered, and the line of Roele was broken.
Many centuries after, Agelmore Avan reforged the Sword of Roele, found the Shield of Roele, and gathered the magical rubies of the Emperor Crown. Together with a cadre of valiant nobles, he united the Anuirean realms under his rule, and he took the name of Roele.
Goblin warlord Tal-Qazar led his army in the service of Azrai during the Battle of Deismaar. He now rules the Spiderfell.

673 MR - Winter
The heroes enter the lair of the Spider and confront the ancient monster. After a fierce and bloody battle, they succeed in defeating the creature of shadow. When given the chance to plunge her magical dagger into the creature's heart, Amani refuses.
Ansen delivers the final blow instead, causing the Spider's bloodline to dissipate and vanish. As Amani's dagger screams in rage and pain, she hears Anomander's voice whispering in her thoughts.
Why have you betrayed me?

673 MR - Winter
The party has taken refuge for the winter in Castle Ghieste, located in Alamie. With the rebel dukes aligning with Amani controlling the north and the southern conflicts easing due to the harsh winter, the heroes shift their focus to the Spiderfell.
They assemble a modest band of warriors and embark on a journey into the spider-infested woods to confront the monstrous Spider. Within the ominous forest, they must traverse a labyrinth of unmarked trails, where each arachnid serves as a sentinel for the forest's malevolent ruler.
Guided by the mystical hunger of Amani's enchanted dagger, the heroes venture deeper into the heart of the woods. Along the way, they are ambushed by a squadron of goblins mounted on spiders, accompanied by hobgoblins and fiendish gnolls.

673 MR - Autumn
Overthane Brokk Hammerfist, a masterful blacksmith, possesses a unique talent for imbuing his creations with magical dwarven runes. This extraordinary ability, known as Hammerfist, channels molten metal through his very hands, granting his works a remarkable potency.
Among his showcased creations stands the Dwarvenforge Engine, a sentient siege tower mounted on wheels, capable of autonomous combat. However, during a demonstration, the Engine malfunctions, turning hostile and launching an assault on the assembled nobility. Promptly, the Heroes intervene, engaging in a fierce battle until they successfully subdue the rogue Engine.
Impressed by the Heroes' prowess, Brokkr expresses his satisfaction and extends an offer of alliance. Additionally, he presents them with his latest invention, the Dusk Crusher—a weapon meticulously crafted to vanquish Shadow creatures. With plans to confront the Spider looming, the Heroes eagerly agree to put the Dusk Crusher to the test.
With a keen eye for design and a deep understanding of metallurgy, Brokkr spends his days in the forges of Baruk-Azhik, experimenting with new techniques and pushing the boundaries of dwarven craftsmanship. He delights in the intricacies of his work, pouring his heart and soul into each piece he creates.
Despite his royal duties, Brokkr is often found amidst piles of ore and molten metal, lost in the thrill of bringing his visions to life. His workshop is a testament to his talent, filled with wondrous creations that showcase his skill and ingenuity.
Brokkr's reign is marked not by conquest or conflict, but by a dedication to elevating dwarven craftsmanship to new heights. Under his leadership, Baruk-Azhik has become a beacon of innovation, attracting artisans and craftsmen from far and wide who seek to learn from the master himself.
Though he may not possess the grizzled demeanor of his predecessors, Brokkr Hammerfist's passion for crafting astonishing artifacts has endeared him to his people, earning him respect and admiration throughout the realm.

The party solidifies an alliance with the kingdom of Sielwode, where the elves pledge their support to the Roele family in their struggle against the Shadow. Additionally, they promise safe passage through their territory via specially constructed roads. Amani, as the heir of Roele, vows not to obstruct the reclamation of the former Shadow Forest from the House of Galanohel.
In an unexpected twist, Adara Cuamhyrcha, once an emissary of Rhuobhe the Manslayer and now a guest of the Emerald Court, is tasked with reclaiming and nurturing the Shadow Forest.
Amidst the festivities celebrating this alliance, the party encounters Diirk Watershold, guildmaster of the Royal Guild of Baruk-Azhik. The dwarf extends an invitation to visit his realm, where the newly elected overthane is eager to meet them and explore potential collaboration.
After settling their affairs in Sielwode, the party travels to Baruk-Azhik, the ancestral homeland of the dwarves, where they meet with Overthane Brokkr Hammerfist.
