About Metrianda

Metrianda is a Dunegons and Dragons fifth edition homebrew campaign. The plot centers around a collection of summoned so-called "heroes" and their handling of war-time affairs and their attempts to halt a centuries-long bloody war.

There are multiple factions, but they tend to coallsece around two bigger "sides"; The Mayess or Pareidolia. For the most part, player characters side with The Mayess or one of the "micro"-factions that align with her, like The Moon or the currently unnamed Underglass groups.

Player characters do not come from Metrianda, they are summoned through the Towers, Fires, or one of the many other methods of being brought here. They're commonly from other universes, such as Earth, Faerun, Keron, Xiouf, Mars, or a variety of other planets and places.

The campaign focuses around the "heroes" of Robasa, the smallest city-state of The Mayess. The mayor, Finnigan Leagallow, is the groups' immediate boss, though Kian, The Mayess, is easily met due to the war pushing her from her home in the captiol: Whima.

The year is 9942 AM, the group is at the start of the month of Alapadora. The group is in Robasa, Dunetown, and The Moon. Yevie is coming.

Théowara die Verdreht is a somber, motherly, yet ever petty woman.

She’s a workaholic, possesses staunch loyalty, and is pouring all of her energy into preserving the image of a woman whole. Even with her tendency to self-isolate and pull away, Theowara’s core values are family and community. The lives of those important to her hold more value than those who are not.

The Setting

Lakewood

Lakewood is a small vacation town nestled up in the Catskill mountains in upsate NY. The town has a small local population, but tourism and vacationing have dried up considerably since the 90s. Still, the town manages to get by. As beautiful as the lakeside town is, it's a dead end for anyone with ambition. Many of the residence can't seem to successfully move on or plant there roots elsewhere, despite their desire.

Lake Clearwater

While Lake Clearwater, the town's namesake, was a bustling vacation spot mid-century up through the 80s, it has been in decline since. The locals of course blame the economy, though there is something peculiar about the Lake that's hard to deny. An incident in the mid 90s where some local kids went missing for a while seems to have tainted the vacation spot's reputation. Now only locals seem to visit the lakeside with any regularity. Curiously, what visitors they do get seem to always cut their stay short.

The Mystery Vortex

At the Northern edge of Lakewood is the infamous 'Casa del Sino' which locals are divided on being either their town's only standing place of pride, or just another embarassment. This Mystery spot was a bustling tourist attraction for roadtrippers on the interstate up through the mid 90s, even when the appeal of Lake Clearwater ran dry. Being in decline through the 2000s, it was recently purchased and fixed up by an ambitious young local, who has successfully turned it back into a highway destination with the help of viral internet marketing and a rather sketchy youtube channel.

Lakeside Bar & Grill

One of the more popular night life destinations in Lakewood, which isn't saying much. Located just off the interstate at the eastern most edge of Lake Clearwater, it happens to be a place popular both with locals and with travelers. They're known in the area for their incredible burgers and fries and cozy atmosphere (though also unfortunately infamous for their local drunks as well). It's also a great place to pick up the local gossip.
