C3 - Ep0.1: Crownfall - A Dystopian Realm: The Lore That Shapes Crownfall

Step into the ashes of a fallen world in this Lore Episode for Campaign 3: Crownfall, narrated by Matt, your Dungeon Master. Before the heroes of this campaign ever take their first steps, this episode unveils the catastrophic events that transformed the realm of Avarinth into a fractured, war-torn landscape teetering on the edge of collapse.Discover the ancient conflict with the Void Tyrant, the rise of Issarok the Blood Howler, and the gnoll hordes that now ravage the land. Learn how the fall of the Rose Citadel reshaped the continent, how the gods were forced to look away, and how an archmage’s desperate ritual tore open a reality-breaking rift—an anomaly that hums, breathes, and casts no shadow.Matt also reveals the survival-focused tone of Crownfall: a Last-of-Us-style dystopian world fused with Stranger Things-like otherworldly mystery. Expect new house rules, new types of light, limited safe havens, and a constant sense of danger as players navigate both the devastated overworld and the unknown horrors within the rift.If you're new to Twenty Sides or preparing to dive into Crownfall, this episode gives you everything you need to understand the stakes, the setting, and the world’s descent into darkness.Subscribe, follow, and prepare—Crownfall begins soon, and survival is not guaranteed.Want more Twenty Sides?
