“Like no other land I have visited in all my vast and fevered travels, here in Varisia art and environment are truly one. The monoliths of a mysterious and romantic people weather the ages, telling the voiceless tales of a race lost to silence. Each inspired day colors the skies in vivid palettes of placid blue, raging red-orange, and sorrowed gray—heavenly emotions painted across an endless, cloudless canvas. Even the natives live like masterpieces on display, their tattoos becoming the likenesses of their lives, their dances telling their endless tales, and their wisdom tempered by murmured harmonies echoing from both past and future.”
—Cevil “Redwing” Charms Esq., Eidolon
Golarion: a place where the triumphs of heroes and the workings of villains are recorded in a constantly evolving codex of tales spanning centuries. For much of written history, world events followed charted routes. Oracles and seers mapped out the future in the stars above, and their prophecies always gave a reliable view of the ages to come.
Until a god died a century ago. No one saw that coming, and now, the old prophecies are failing. Oracles go mad and seers desperately try to account for the loss of the future. While some cry out that the world is at an end, they’ve been doing so for 100 years now. And the world’s still here. It’s just unclear where things are going. The future of Golarion is open, ready to receive the triumphs and failures of a new generation of heroes.
Because, as we all know, PCs have a knack for doing the unexpected. How could any oracle or sage predict what they’ll get up to next?

Game:
Rise of the Runelords
Chapter 1: Burnt Offerings
Setting:
Golarion. Anyone who's interested, I have a brief pdf with all common knowledge information about Golarion, Varisia, and Sandpoint, the small town where the first adventure occurs. The attachment includes information specific to 4E and is very technical. You really need the other document to make sense of it, but it was just barely too big for an attachment.
Level:
1 - 24
Races:
All PHB 1, plus gnome and half-orc. Tiefling and dragonborn are not native to Varisia, but also not entirely unknown...please work with me to explain why they are here!
Classes:
Any and all.
Please note in the Player's Guide (sent via email) that there is a whole new pantheon here in Varisia. I like it, and want to keep it, but I understand that can cause some difficulties for anyone planning a divine character. Use the domains given in the table to decide which 4E Channel Divinity powers are appropriate, and run your thoughts by me sometime! It should be very easy to work around.
Alignments:
No evil characters are allowed! No exceptions!
Spaces Available:
I will only be accepting five characters. Others are welcome to come along and enjoy the story. I am thrilled with this adventure and this campaign world...there is so much depth of information!
I would really like to see characters that fit firmly in the world, and are involved in what happens here. As you start at first level in Sandpoint, please consider making your characters native to the area or the region. I'll work with anyone on why your characters are in Sandpoint, and what further information you would have based on your background.
Characters will start the adventure in Sandpoint to attend a festival marking the dedication of a new stone cathedral, with chapels dedicated to six different gods, to replace a wooden chapel that burned down tragically in some unpleasantness a few years back.
