The Menagerie

The Menagerie (2021 – ?) is a globetrotting military fantasy campaign. Set in the Second Age of Ondûn, it follows the titular Menagerie, a struggling mercenary company, hungry to make a name for themselves. Each adventure sees the heroes negotiating contracts, managing morale, waging wars and pillaging their fair share of plunder. The themes of the campaign are war, politics and leadership.
Unlike All Hail Yog or Helm & Crown, The Menagerie is a personal campaign – neither streamed or recorded.

Premise

The Menagerie has fallen on hard times. Founded by the legendary Chimera, hero of the Night Wars, the mercenary company has fought on four continents – and yet has not one a single major victory. When the campaign begins, the company teeters on the brink of collapse and only an unlikely contract with Ondûn's first dracolich offers any chance to restore their reputation.
