The Monster Mash

This campaign revolves around the 2020 campaigns based around the concept of monsters being released into an otherwise peaceful fantasy realm.   After years of peace, people began to desire some sort of conflict. Small battles and disagreements started to rise up amongst the races. There was a palpable sense of fear and evil that filled the air. Using that fear, an author began to write what would become the magnum opus of all things horrific and terrifying. The book, once finished, became a hit across the land as people's desire for violence was quenched by the media of hundreds of short stories that could satisfy their dark curiosities.   Unfortunately, a cult was formed from those that took their passion and enjoyment of the book and its stories too far. They began working with dark magic and making pacts with evil deities in order to bring to life the monstrous creations from the stories, and some from their own creations. This lead to a dark age that enveloped the lands as these monsters created mass chaos across the land.   Vampires began integrating themselves into the higher societies and government ranks in order to claim power over the lands. Necromancy was on the rise and the undead collected became a raging force that tore apart everything in its horde's path. Dark creatures collected in the caves and deep forests stealing the homes of other creatures for their own.   Heroes from across the land have been working tirelessly to bring an end to the monsters that have become tyrants of the land, but it seems like an endless wave of evil constantly being created. Someone has to find the source of evil power and shut it down.
