A letter from Verity to Ammar (Written July 23, 2025)

[maggie-thebard]

"My name has long since been lost to this world."

"Then what shall we call you?"

"You may call me Ness. For forgiveness was my purpose once upon a time."

Looking for more D&D content? Since we're starting mid-campaign, our incomparable GM created a prologue to get everyone up to speed on where our characters have been up until you meet them on March 4th. In the meantime, we'll be posting introductions of our cast and team members that have worked to bring this whole thing to life!

Aaaaahhhhh the Prologue dropped!🎉

[offthebeatenquest]

Jaks. Changeling. Monk. Fighter. Druid. Like his partner, Eira, his past is... complicated. He’s doing his best, but some days are harder than others. His companion squat, Kole, keeps a smile on his face and reminds him not to take himself too seriously all the time. As a level 9 Monk/Fighter/Druid, Jaks is a heavy hitter that doesn’t give himself enough credit. He’s emotional, but also relatable so he hopes you enjoy his playlist. Check it out in our Linktree 🌳

Verity Belladonna is in a deal she can’t get out of, as are so many Warlocks. In an attempt to save her mother, has she put everyone else she cares for in grave danger. She’s learned shadows are unforgiving on a good day and often finds herself among them within her mind. As a level 7 Rogue/Warlock, Verity is learning that just because life has been hard, it doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. If learning to trust is this hard, what will love feel like? Verity feels deeply and, like Eira, processes through music. Check our her playlist in our Linktree 🌳

Check out my dnd character!

[offthebeatenquest]

Elliana Syllmare only shares one trait with her party member, Dawn: they’re both from the Fey Wild. Seeking guidance in the stars, Elliana is searching for answers she’s not confident exist. Her companion, Stella, keeps her grounded when all she wants to do is break. As a level 8 Circle of the Stars Druid, this Eladrin elf uses her unique talents to find her way back to those she loves most - her family. While she doesn’t fully understand the material plane, she was able to pull together some songs she’s heard in a playlist just for you! Check it out in our Linktree

Eira Tahn, high elven noblewoman from Port of Mar. Her lineage is complicated and she’s known to overcompensate to prove her point. While she dotes on her hopowl, Awyr, she struggles to find balance as the Champion of Nylea, except through blueberry muffins. Those always seem to help. She’s a level 8 Oath of the Ancients Paladin/Fighter ready to take on whoever stands in the way of her mission. Eira processes her emotions and lived experiences through music and has shared her playlist with us. Check it out in our Linktree 🌳 Meet Eira and the rest of the party on March 4th!

As a rogue: 10/10 do not recommend stealing from this paladin. You will get caught (coming from experience) lol

[offthebeatenquest]

Meet Dawn Heartsmed, an 8’ bright pink firbolg barbarian hailing from the Fey Wild. With a confusing past and an uncertain future, she’s known to say ‘fuck it’ and go with her gut.

She’s a level 8 Path of Wild Magic Barbarian wielding an unforgiving great axe. Be sure to stay out of her way when she’s raging.

Good news for us, she’s taken a break from drinking to pull together a playlist for your listening enjoyment! Check it out in our Linktree 🌳

Favorite barbarian to this day!
