The Story Set-Up

In the shadowed corners of the realm, whispers of a dark cult have begun to spread. Devotees of Vecna, the Whispered One, are gathering in secret, their sinister rituals hinting at a plot that could plunge the world into eternal darkness. As rumors of their activities reach the ears of the adventurers, a sense of urgency grips them. The cult’s ultimate goal remains shrouded in mystery, but one thing is clear: Vecna seeks to remake the world in his chaotic evil image, and his followers will stop at nothing to see this vile ambition realized.

The adventurers must embark on a perilous journey, delving into ancient ruins and forgotten tombs to uncover powerful artifacts capable of countering Vecna’s dark magic. Along the way, they will forge uneasy alliances with enigmatic beings from across the planes, each with their own motives and secrets. Trust will be a rare commodity, and betrayal could lurk around any corner.

As the pieces of Vecna’s plan fall into place, the adventurers will find themselves drawn inexorably towards a final confrontation with the lich himself. Will their courage and cunning be enough to thwart the Whispered One, or will Vecna’s dark vision come to pass, casting a shadow over all creation? The answer lies in the hands of those brave enough to face the ultimate evil.

Character Creation Guidelines

You will need a Level 1 character using the D&D 5e or 2024 ruleset (Legacy and Expanded). Try to align your choices with the Story Set-Up but leave room for character growth. This is a mini campaign but could easily become a full campaign with the right group of adventurers. As a team, the group can finalize character choices and ideals as we begin the adventure. I will ask you why your character is with this group and why they have a common goal.

The Vecna Unbound campaign takes place in the Forgotten Realms, so you may prefer to stay within that realm for continuity’s sake. We can discuss exceptions that won’t unbalance the campaign.

Backstories and character concepts are encouraged. Keep it simple! A paragraph is usually enough to give you something to start with while allowing your character room for growth during the adventure.

Gameplay Themes/Content Warnings
