The Fell Cities

A Dungeons & Dragons 5e game In the world of Orsia
May 2019 August 2019 | Full
Over time, the unstable ground has given way, dropping unsuspecting citizens into the winding caverns and cave systems below. The people have tried everything they can to return to the surface, but after over 100yrs they are still unsuccessful. Unbeknownst to them, something very, very old, and very, very big has been placed deep under the earth, and their entrapment is but a side effect.

Sometimes it takes a little digging, and sometimes the research team needs supplies delivered and hires a bunch of adventurers to do so.
