The four Eavaros campaigns, 2019 to the present - real dates, in-world dates, parties, premises and endings.

Four campaigns have been played in Eavaros since 2019, all at the same weekly table. The table still calls itself "the Fate Makers". In-world years are Post Calamity (PC); see The Calendar. The present is 1047 PC.

Campaign 1: The Skyfire Chronicles

  • Real dates: first session Monday 2019-04-15 (the earliest session page is C1 · Monday 29 April 2019 · The Baron's tasks), finale 2021-05-10. Play was weekly on Mondays, online during the 2020 to 2021 lockdowns. The table first called it "the Skyfire Chronicles (prequel)", and the codex front page lists it as "The Skyfire Chronicles".
  • In-world: it ends with The Skyfire, which runs from 17 First Seed to 26 Hearth Fire 1019 PC. The start year is unrecorded. In January 2021 (real time) the party noted 17 First Seed 1019 as "a couple of months from now".
  • Party: The Fatemakers:
    • Braggum, half-orc barbarian, founder of the Bragglands; after the Skyfire he vanished into the northern mountains of the Bragglands
    • Bralmur, dwarven paladin of Helm with a celestial buffalo (Oath of Vengeance); worshipped at Jarren's Outpost, he later succeeded Jokit as The Everbright
    • Cirella, Levistus tiefling Forge cleric of Gond and archaeologist
    • Phantom flavour of the wind, kalashtar bard of the College of Glamour and entertainer, a people "of two minds", who appeared human
    • Daxon ShellFirst, snapping-turtle tortle Circle of Spores druid and anthropologist, who boarded the first ship to learn about people
    • Wraithian Moore, stout halfling Swashbuckler rogue and mercenary veteran, favoured by Loviatar
    • Morgaine, Wild Magic sorcerer, a human turned into a dachshund by wild magic; a Wish near the end made him a golden dragonling (he kept a PC stat block)
    • Theo, a bard, was a PC in the first months. She went home to The Dottenland before "the culling"; her player left and Phantom's player joined.
    • The party started at level 1, reached level 18 by the end of 2020 and level 20 by the end of the campaign.
  • Premise:
  • Ending: in the last sessions Braggum "telefragged" the big bad with the party's planeshifting ship (C1 · Monday 3 May 2021 · Telefrag), and the finale was played on 2021-05-10 (C1 · Monday 10 May 2021 · Finale: The Aspect Falls). The Fatemakers killed the Aspect, Ulamog, an interdimensional being from beyond wildspace, in the ruins of old Xinstock where New Xinstock now stands. By then they had also defeated Herminius the Lich and The Ashkarn. Herentor's Veil, which had hidden the south, was destroyed in the Skyfire's final months, and the Xinsi emperor was dead before it ended. The PCs' individual fates (their "epitaphs") aren't recorded in the sources. The epilogue describes the "Ruination", a second calamity:
    • Xinstock was teleported into the northern sea, leaving New Xinstock in its crater.
    • The Dottenland fell to revolution and became Potenxia.
    • Bosia was decimated, and the Bragglands grew.
    • The Therian Confederacy closed itself off.
    • A one-shot, The Battle for Xinstock (2021-04-26), showed the city's last hours.

Campaign 2: After Skyfire

  • Real dates: session 0 on 2021-05-17 (C2 · Monday 17 May 2021 · Session 0), first session 2021-05-24 (C2 · Monday 24 May 2021 · Establishing session), finale 2023-07-19 (C2 · Wednesday 19 July 2023 · Finale: The Siege of Talonkeep), epilogue 2023-07-26 (C2 · Wednesday 26 July 2023 · Epilogue). Play moved from Mondays to Wednesdays in August 2022.

  • In-world: starts on 18 Suns Dawn 1034 PC, the 613th anniversary of the coronation of Maxim, first emperor of Xinsi, fifteen to sixteen years after the Skyfire. The Xinsi Empire had been without an emperor for sixteen years. Scribble collapsed The Prismatic College in 1034.

  • Party:

    • Scribble, kenku wizard
    • Xosomasaux, tabaxi Scout rogue and urban bounty hunter, pressed into Fascinatia and Demobray's service and sent south by the thieves' guild of Luktow and blessed by the Dawnfather
    • Ebony, loxodon Circle of the Shepherd druid and outlander who fled his grove, afraid of failing his family's legacy
    • Keso Jeaeii, Bosian myconid warlock of the Undying, whose patron is the swamp that Daxon became
    • Olaf Atlason, old reborn Armorer artificer, rebuilt by Gurgle after an illithid, who wields the Hand of the King in Yellow
    • SAM (S.A.M. #19), warforged Path of the Beast barbarian and shipwright, who once walked alone into Mechanus
    • General Xalner, who died in the first episode; the pirates kept his talking head
    • The party started at level 1, reached level 19 by June 2023 and level 20 by the end of the campaign.

  • Premise: the first campaign in the newly opened south. The party escorted a sealed chest across the southern lands while being hunted by The Broken Bones, a pirate crew whose members all held The King In Yellow's contracts. The campaign ranged over:

    Olaf tore up the King in Yellow's contracts in December 2022 (real time). Scribble created or awakened the kenku god Quorlinn, later the Feathered Deceiver, and the party pursued the spell Sever the Pact Primeval. The chest held the Fork, an interplanar tuning fork that let the party Plane Shift to the Hells to retrieve the contracts. SAM signed the devil Torganoth's contract.

    The one-shots of the period are all canon: "the crew of the Nimbus" (Meanwhile in Wildspace), "Let's drink Blue Wine together" (see Duke Feriland) and the players' own mini-campaign of March to April 2022.

  • Ending: the Siege of Talonkeep (2023-07-19) against the warforged Dhum, agent of Orcus, who led a corrupted march of a million modrons on an interplanar invasion. Allies included Braggum and Morgaine from campaign 1. SAM sacrificed himself to destroy the massive robot body Dhum had built; Ebony revived him with his vestige at the cost of 3 Intelligence, which left Ebony simple, until Scribble tracked him down months later and restored him with a risky Wish. In the epilogue, "the heroes of yore return to their lands… the wizards of the City of Birds are emboldened by the victory of their cohort". Keso built a mushroom tower up to 40,000 ft tall and lives in its penthouse. Whether Sever the Pact Primeval was cast isn't recorded in the sources.

The present is 1047 PC. The campaign years once listed on the codex front page (1006, 1008, 1014 and 1032 PC) were estimates; the dates from play put campaign 2's start at 18 Suns Dawn 1034 PC and campaign 3's at 1 Evening Star 1040 PC.
