(Important Note: Campaign session time is being readjusted in the future as schedules are being rearranged, further details will be provided) Ash and Salt — A D&D Campaign A dark fantasy nautical adventure set in the world of Acaridian. The seas are dying. Once protected by the mercy of forgotten gods, the oceans of Thaloruun have become a graveyard of storms, ash, pirates, monsters, and ancient horrors rising from beneath the waves. Across shattered islands and cursed waters, powerful pirate lords wage war over relics, runic power, and the fate of the Weave itself. Players begin in the thriving port city of Thalaris, home of the Grand Maelstrom Unity Guild — a massive alliance of bounty hunters, traders, explorers, mercenaries, and rune scholars. From there, the campaign expands into a vast oceanic world filled with eldritch mysteries, legendary sea beasts, fallen angels, undead fleets, ancient ruins, and rival factions battling for control of the seas. Ash and Salt focuses heavily on: Exploration and nautical adventure Rich worldbuilding and deep lore Dangerous factions and pirate politics High fantasy mixed with cosmic horror Meaningful character progression Homebrew runic magic and customization Large scale boss encounters and evolving threats Whether you become a feared pirate hunter, a cursed rune bearer, a relic seeker, or something far worse, the seas of Acaridian remember every choice. The Rune System Ash and Salt features a fully homebrew magic system known as the Rune System. Every creature is connected to the Weave, a vast network of magical threads tied to ambition, souls, concepts, and existence itself. Through this connection, characters may awaken unique Runes — magical powers ranging from elemental abilities like Fire, Water, and Storm, to reality-defying runes such as Chaos, Void, Creation, and Veil. Runes evolve alongside the player, granting: Passive enhancements Unique combat abilities Rune crafting and enchantment Custom evolutions and ascensions Rare legendary or exotic powers The system allows for heavy customization while remaining deeply tied to the lore and themes of the world. No two rune users are truly alike, and stronger runes can eventually influence reality itself.
