Dark Descent - Expedition

[Simple]

Rumored to contain wonders and miracles that might shake the very foundations of the world itself, but almost every expedition has led to mass death and disease. Only a handful of legendary explorers have gained anything of note from daring explorations into the heart of this continent.

Nation: Asphodel/Achyon (Docro)

Characters involved? An expedition organized by Araceli Falkenrath and Nikolai pyr Docro primarily, but members of both the Crimson Court and the Family are invited.

Expected Party Size, Estimate: 8-15, depending on how many the DM is willing to handle.

Event Summary: With focus shifting away from war and onto internal matters, the Kingdom of Asphodel is embarking upon an expedition into the heart of the Shadowlands, alongside their Docro allies. Forces split evenly, they set out to uncover the aforementioned 'wonders and miracles' of the Shadowlands. The supposed birthplace of the anomaly Andromeda, they can only wonder what they will find as they attempt to push further than any has prior.

PvP Potential? If that fits narratively I'm not opposed.

Main Goal/s: Retrieve any artifacts/weapons/materials, potentially uncover some further development for both factions.

Type: Grand (100k split 50k between both factions) Heavy CoD.

Preferred DM/s? Chance if he is willing.

Shadow Lands: The size of a large continent on its own, the exact size and scope of the Shadow Lands is impossible to tell. This region is complete wilderness and is overrun with powerful magical beasts that are hostile to humans, making exploration extremely difficult. Rumored to contain wonders and miracles that might shake the very foundations of the world itself, but almost every expedition has led to mass death and disease. Only a handful of legendary explorers have gained anything of note from daring explorations into the heart of this continent. The Deviation Disease that fed on magic itself and wiped out thousands in the 1300s originated from the Shadow Lands, as did the country wide threat Beleoron, a primordial with lion-like features that rampaged in the 1500s. The Anomaly, otherwise known as Andromeda, originated from this region before beginning a quest to devour the strongest Essharan magi, and Eternia itself in the 1800s.
