GMJ 195: Hinterlands of Elandria Prelude 1: Brett as Wahl Part 1 Dec 20, 2017

Show notes

Hinterlands of Elandria is a new D&D campaign set in Lex's homebrew campaign world, Primordia. Five years after the beginning of the Breaking of the World, the Time of Rifts and the Retreat of Humanity, a new team of adventurers leave the safety of the city of Elandria to explore rumors of a lone village somehow surviving in the Hinterlands to the east. Very few cities survived the Breaking, and it's believe no smaller settlements did. If there is a village out there, how has it survived on its own? The answer to this question could decide the fate of the thousands of refugees packing the streets of Elandria.

In this episode, Lex gets together with Brett to discuss his character, Wahl, and his place in the world and adventure. This is the first prelude of the campaign.
