**An actual (let's) play unofficial D&D campaign podcast featuring 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons, by a group of friends from Portland Oregon**
Campaign 1: The ancient kingdom of Fenrir, blessed with prosperity from the queen of fairy for a millennia, has fallen. The once bountiful forests are teeming now with thorns and monsters. Each prick of the brambles poison turns man into beast, one drop at a time. Our heroes, 18 year old Sylpha Lunari, 16 year old Sable Mirkwood, and 17 year old Jaelen Evans fight to end the century of isolation and the ill effects on man and fey that that is has. Can they change the world they inherited, or will it change them?
Campaign 2: The Northern Kingdom, the Empire of Astragaar, a theocracy dedicated to the true and only 10 gods of the mortal lands has taken over the province of Ol' Fenrir after the environmental disaster of the kingdom. Our heroes, Zirus of Sister Truth, Bulain of The Silent Judge, and Krieden of Divine Mercy, attempt to serve the empire and its people, but all is not as one would hope. Will the history of the empire be too much for the faithful to overcome?
