Aftermath: The Crysanthemum Throne
This page is a plot summary and infodump for User:Archmage's D&D 4th Edition tabletop game. Please check the talk page for more meta-game information and to communicate regarding scheduling and real-world details.
Setting
The setting for this campaign will be the continent of Ka'thalar in the Gaera Main universe.
See,, and for more detailed information; some of the bits about Ka'thalar are incomplete and do not make reference to more current events.
All of the core 4th Edition races and classes are available with some minor flavor adjustments and a few additionl options:
- Dragonborn are half-dragons. Unlike the dragonborn description in the PHB, dragon-halves do have tails. Dragons are associated with their element, not with their color (or metal) and are not limited to any specific alignments. A dragon-half's breath weapon and scale color will always match.
Background
The Mad Wizard
For a more detailed summary, see the article for Dark Obessions.
In 1315 EP the necromancer Elaith Thenswick, hoping to conquer Igala and win the endearment of Genevive Sarith, amassed an army of undead and began searching for the Orb of Prismatic Dragonkind. Unfortunately for the free world, Thenswick acquired the Orb and enslaved a number of supremely powerful dragons. Were it not for the efforts of a group of adventurers aided and supported by the Doman Army, Thenswick might have succeeded.
The war with Elaith laid waste to much of Ka'thalar's surface territories. Fear and uncertainty led the current inhabitants--mostly humans, elves, nekojin, and inujin--to consider a variety of possibilities for the restructuring of the continent.
Battle for Supremacy
Numerous small groups sprung up all over
