The Village of Eastbrook

Current UiO D&D Campaign: Mercenaries

The current D&D campaign we're running here at UiO is about a group of mercenaries who previously worked for* the mercenary company, the Twilight Guard. One fateful mission, however, ended with the butchering of most of the company and the PCs are all that remain of that once proud company.

Fleeing the slaughter, the PCs ended up in the village of Eastbrook (which is north-west of their original location). Here, they are trying to revive the Twilight Guard and have taken on local assignments for coin and fame. They were some of the freshest recruits of the original company, so it may take them some time in restoring it to its former glory.

The group consists of:
  • Llwellyn “Chatterbox” Redgrove, a human fighter who lost his voice in a previous assignment and now relies on hand signals to communicate with his friends and comrades

  • Bård Broadwinkle, a human sorcerer who specializes in the spell school of Evocation

  • "Boom Boom," an elf rogue who hides a keen intelligent through the demeanor of a brutish boor

  • Harar Brekaran, a dwarven druid who heeds the call of the Earth Song and who assisted the group when they first fled

  • An orc wizard

  • A human archivist


Together they will rebuild what once was and claim justice for lost friends.


* as they are all that is left, it is safe to say the very existence of the Twilight Company now rests with them
