The Fifth Crusade
For over a century, the demon-haunted wasteland of the Worldwound has bled into the world of mortals. As the magical Wardstones that hold back the tide begin to flicker and fail, a new generation of crusaders must take up the sword. But this war requires more than steel; it requires the power of Myths.

Intelligence Report: Fifth Crusade Geographic Survey
The Shield of Mendev. Current location of the Wardstone.
The epicenter of the rift. Entry forbidden to all mortal souls.
Stretching from the Lake of Mists and Veils to the Sarkoris Scar, Mendev stands as the final bulwark against the Abyss.
A vital supply vein now choked by the filth of the Worldwound.
"The geography changes as the rift exhales. Do not trust the old maps. The land itself is a lie."
The Worldwound
Session I — The Worldwound Incursion
During the Armasse festival, the demon lord Khorramzadeh the Storm King tore through Kenabres's wardstone and brought the city to ruin. As the sky turned to ash and chaos consumed the streets, the silver dragon Terendelev — guardian of Kenabres — made her final stand. With the last of her magic she slowed the party's plunge into the depths, then was gone. They woke in darkness, somewhere beneath a burning city, with nothing but steel, faith, and each other.
Fallen Guardian
Silver Dragon · Protector of Kenabres
“She did not hesitate. As the Storm King's claws found her, her last thought was of us. We carry that debt into every fight that follows.”
Arcane Vanguard
Paladin / Wizard
Glaive in hand and daggers at the ready, he fought as a warrior first — his arcane studies still sharpening, but his steel already proven.
Iron Fist of the Crusade
Monk / Paladin
Stood at the front and refused to yield, meeting the creatures of the deep with fists and divine will in equal measure.
Shadow of Judgment
Inquisitor / Rogue
Twin daggers flashing in the dark, he read the enemy without hesitation and put steel exactly where it needed to be.
Voice of Torag
Paladin / Oracle
Kept the party standing through the fighting, then spent eight unbroken hours in prayer — reconsecrating the Shrine of Torag by sheer devotion.
Milestone Achieved
First holy ground reclaimed beneath the Worldwound
Surrounded by enemies and cut off from the surface, the Vanguard fought through the corruption infesting Torag's forgotten shrine. When the last creature fell, Korroc knelt — and did not rise for eight hours. When he did, the darkness had retreated a little. The forge-god had answered.
