The Uthgard Empire has invaded every part of the lives of those in the east. Cut off from the west by the uncharted Swordspyne Mountains, many have lost hope. But some look to take their fate into their own hands. Led by Helfen at a secret refuge in the Urtgen Forest, explorers, adventurers, and mappers have ventured into the mountains to chart a safe route for a road connecting the east and west. You have felt the call and have signed your contracts to become a Westbounder.
Now grab your pack, tighten your boots, and head out to explore the western wilds.
What is this Campaign?
The Road West is a campaign that takes place in the Eastlands of Atheles. It centers on the stronghold of Elmhearth, and the Wanderers Guild, of which all adventures in the campaign are a part of.
Elmhearth was once just an outpost for the Wanderers, an adventurers guild. The nearby metropolis, Kowal, has fallen to dark times. You and others have fled to Elmhearth as a sanctuary. But for Elmhearth to survive, you must help its overseer, Helfen. The refuge needs food, protection, and especially gold. The Wanderers, the adventurers guild, wants a road out of Uthgard into the West. So besides helping supply the encampment, you are also tasked with taking expeditions into the wilds. You should map the best routes for roads, establish strongholds, and tame the wilderness so that there is a safe road west.
