A working game-master reference for running ''[[Princes of the Apocalypse]]'' in the Dessarin Valley. This wiki combines '''official source material''' (the module and D&amp;D Beyond) with a '''living layer for our table''' — session notes, player-character dossiers, prep, and homebrew that has diverged from the printed adventure.
A shared record of '''our party's adventures''' in the Dessarin Valley. Use it to catch up between sessions, look up people and places you've already encountered, and see where the story left off.

* '''Canon''' — the book as written (chapters, published NPCs, intended plot order).
* '''''This Campaign''''' — what has actually happened at our table (reconstructed notes, off-book choices, homebrew).
 
Homebrew and table-specific material is tagged '''[HOMEBREW]''' or '''[DM-INSERTED]''' so it never gets confused with canon.

Mine these when planning the next session:
 
* '''Genericus''' — [[Ewan McFeathernuttz]] weaponizes the Feathergale promise; [[Davron Maerl]] (Zhentarim) trade angle.
* '''Kiara''' — slow-burning grudge against Genericus; Wild Magic + Abyssal Legacy vs. cult chaos.
* '''Togar''' — nonlethal / ''animal friendship'' instincts; astronomer-scholar bond; [[Emerald Enclave]] contact via [[Haeleeya Hanadroum]].


See also: '''[[Session 06 - Back on Track]]''' for the full re-rail plan toward the Missing Delegation and [[Rivergard Keep]].
* The party is based out of '''[[Red Larch]]''' and has been asking around town for rumors and work.
* A Mirabar trade '''delegation has gone missing''' — investigating that disappearance is the party's main focus.
* There is '''cult activity''' in the Dessarin Valley. At '''[[Feathergale Spire]]''' the party fought '''[[Feathergale Knights]]''', '''[[Howling Hatred Initiates]]''', and '''[[Hurricanes]]''' (wind/air cultists), plus '''[[Hippogriff]]''' and '''[[Giant Vulture]]''' mounts — then flew home with spared knight '''[[Ewan McFeathernuttz]]'''.
* On the delegation trail, the party fought '''[[Bandits]]''' and then '''[[Raiders]]''' with strange sea-raider gear. The ambush is won; '''loot and clues are still on the field'''.

== How to use this wiki ==
[[Category:Campaign]]
 
[[Category:Player-facing]]
# '''Prep''' a session on its plan page (copy structure from [[Session Template]] when available).
# '''Run''' the game, then capture what happened in that session's notes page.
# '''Reconcile''' — each recap ends with a ''Canon Updates to Apply'' checklist. Work through it: update NPC, location, faction, item, and PC pages, then tick items off.
 
'''Conventions'''
* Named NPC pages: one character per page (e.g. [[Kaylessa Irkell]]).
* Cross-link liberally — the value is navigation between people, places, and plot threads.
* Tag homebrew clearly: '''[HOMEBREW]''', '''[DM-INSERTED]'''.
