Eberron: Whispers in the Dust (A D&D 5E Solo Journal) – Introductory Info

Basic Info

Solo campaign of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition using the Mythic 2nd Edition Game Master Emulator.

Played by me, Artiquin! This blog will mostly be my written journal entries summarizing the events as well as the game mechanics of both D&D and Mythic. The idea was for this blog to be a more in-depth write up of my sessions while keeping my handwritten journal lighter and more to-the-point. And also so I can share my adventures to friends and anyone else that’s interested in reading!

For Mythic 2E GME, I use a mix of both the official PDF as well as the companion app!

For D&D5E, I use the following books:

Player’s Handbook (2014)

Monster Manual (2014)

Dungeon Master’s Guide (2014 & 2024)

Xanathar’s Guide to Everything

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything

Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse

Eberron: Rising from the Last War

World & Main Story Info

The campaign is set in Eberron. Thelanis, particularly the Moonlight Vale and the seasonal Faerie Courts, serves as a major part of it.

The story focuses on the disappearances of Trineth’s parents and why a group of fey are attacking other fey in the Moonlit Vale. Is it an attack from a villainous group of fey, or an attack from a fellow court?

Meanwhile, tensions grow stronger between the nations of Eldeen Reaches and Aundair. Sabotage and a raise of taxes from Aundair’s side of the border have fostered resentment from Eldeen. The Wardens of the Woods druids and those they protect refuse to back down on their claim of the land. Aundair won’t declare war because of the Treaty of Thronehold and the Mourning, but they are doing everything they can to try to wear Eldeen Reaches down in hopes they can take control without true conflict.

The center of this conflict is in Varna, the seat of House Vadalis, who still maintains strong ties to Aundair. Reports have been made of a pro-Aundair movement with support from Vadalis itself rising up from Varna.

The fey also have a connection to Eldeen Reaches, even if they often don’t associate themselves with the conflicts of Eberron. If Aundair took over, how would they respond? Is the attack in their own courts connected to any of this?
