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.

'''Two layers live here.'''
'''Spoiler policy:''' pages here reflect '''what has happened at the table''' so far. Undiscovered locations, hidden NPC agendas, and future plot are '''not''' posted until the party learns them in play.
* '''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:
* 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.
* '''Genericus''' — [[Ewan McFeathernuttz]] weaponizes the Feathergale promise; [[Davron Maerl]] (Zhentarim) trade angle.
* There is '''cult activity''' in the Dessarin Valley. The party cleared hostile forces at '''[[Feathergale Spire]]''' (a tower associated with wind/air cultists) and was flown back to Red Larch by the knight '''[[Ewan McFeathernuttz]]''', who they spared.
* '''Kiara''' — slow-burning grudge against Genericus; Wild Magic + Abyssal Legacy vs. cult chaos.
* On the road toward the delegation trail, the party fought '''bandits''' and then a group of '''raiders''' (the reaver ambush). The fight is over; loot and answers may still be on the field.
* '''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]].

== 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]'''.
