So I'm about to start running a campaign on Fridays at my high school with some pretty experienced gamers and I'm looking to use this thread as a place to get ideas for missions rather than the campaign structure. However, all suggestions are appreciated.
The campaign takes place on an older plane that recently became inhabited. On the original plane lack of resources drove several factions through portals created by Moroden Slate, an archmage in the employ of the Lords of the Spires (the rulers of the newly created kingdom). The portals lead to a new prime material plane and no one wasted time setting up kingdoms. As it stands, there are three major factions in the world. The humans who have conquered large tracts of hills and marsh, the dwarves who control the mountains (duh), and the elves who have taken over several large island chains (think Pacific islands with cities like Mercadia in Magic). Now, after about a hundred years of squabbling and land grabbing, the humans have begun to organize expeditions into the seas.
One scout ship has reported seeing shore about 2 months away by ship, perhaps less by elven dirigible. An expedition has already set out to scout the coast and many more are already lined up to leave. The PCs will eventually end up on a ship headed to the new continent but not until they're about 5th level.
The PCs will start out in Diamond Lake and will run through a possibly abridged version of Whispering Cairn. From there they will likely travel to the large human city, Rayven. I'll keep updating this thread with additional information about the campaign. Thanks for your anticipated input everyone!
