DnD 5.5e Starting new homebrew campaign!

Hello hello! I am Matthew. I am a new DM building a homebrew world, and I want your help filling in its history. Before my main campaign begins, I am running a series of one-shots set in "Year 0". This is when an apocalyptic cataclysm nearly ends the world. The future campaign will be set centuries afterward. When? I run my business from home and have a family, so M-F during the day works best. These one-shots will take place Tuesday through Thursday, between 9:00am and 2:00pm Central time (chicago area). If you work from home, work nights, or live in a time zone where this is your evening, this table is for you! What is it? You will play low- to mid-level heroes surviving the chaos of a larger conflict. You might be pulling off a desperate heist for a magical artifact, escorting refugees to safety, or holding the line against impossible odds. All of this happens under the shadow of the First King, whose mysterious sacrifice during this era saved the realm but cursed his bloodline forever. Legacy? Yup If you survive, I have a "Fortune & Fate" roll planned to help determine your character's epilogue. Though you will have plenty of creative control over their outcomes. Survive or not - your characters will become the myths, ancestors, and founders in the larger campaign!

You are an Initiate, a student at the prestigious Academy Arcanum. Yet unlike the other students, you've been hand-selected to study under Professor Thorne. The academy's most knowledgeable Weaver and a notorious pariah among its faculty. What will you learn under him each semester? More importantly...What secrets is Professor Thorne hiding? Welcome to the Arcanum Academy, one of the greatest centers of magical learning in Ithyra. Here, magic is not merely something to cast it is something to understand, question, and reshape. As Initiates, you will study the Weave, uncover strange magical theories, take on quest for the realm, learn to alter spells beyond their traditional limits, and eventually craft a magical item of your own design. Between lessons, you'll compete against rival students, test your abilities in arcane competitions, form friendships and rivalries, and discover that even the most prestigious academy has secrets buried beneath its halls. Set within the high-fantasy world of Ithyra, Prodigies of the Weave blends ancient magic with aetherpunk innovation, a world where arcane theory and magical technology are beginning to change what people believe magic can accomplish. But the more you learn, the more questions arise. What is the Weave truly capable of? Why have certain magical theories been forgotten? And why does it seem that the academy and its faculty are hiding something from its students? This campaign is for players who enjoy character driven stories, magical discovery, exploration, and meaningful choices. My style is heavily narrative and choice focused. Your decisions shape your relationships, your education, your reputation, and ultimately the direction of the story. There isn't always a single correct path, and the world will respond to the choices you make. Come prepared to attend classes, experiment with magic, compete with your peers, make mistakes, uncover mysteries, and decide for yourselves what kind of weavers you want to become. The Weave has rules. Magic has limits. You are here to discover what happens when you challenge both.
