The World Needs Balance

A Dungeons & Dragons 5e game In the world of Ichorei
September 2018 | Full
"This mysterious disease, abhorrent infection, whatever it is. It's snuck its way into practically every inch of Ichorei, from Westwind Bay to the Underdark nothing seems capable of stopping, no, not even hindering its viral onslaught. This world is growing colder, and I fear that not even the eternal flames of Plegethos could quell the brutal winter plague which will befall us."
