Background
It started long ago in an empty world of chaos. A realm that opened very far from the realms that we know. A leak that influenced a being to come into the world. Then aboleths ruled the land and water, they wanted the world in their own hands (well…tentacles). They’d rule over all with minds as their own were freedom was a sin. Then the gods were born from a magical force so great that man was then born, but they were still controlled by the aboleths power. The gods were lucky because of the magic that ran in their blood that was by any means outstanding. They fought against them even though their differences, except one, his name was Ruvik. He wanted control over all. Then the gods gave man the power to stand against the aboleths, then the million year war came and they won, but that was what the story that was told. No one knows the true story only an ancient god knows, but they are all dead.
People still worship them but they usually turn to their children for the blessings. That does not mean they were forgotten just like devil lords, they might be dead or put back to their first stage they are still worshipped and remembered. The races of the world are long and vast but humans are generally new to the world. Dwarves have their clans as elves have their rich lucky lifestyles. Millennials past and everyone has their beliefs. Kingdoms raised and fell. And they wanted answers to the world they lived in so they looked at it. From the biggest dragon to the smallest Halfling.
They found a ruin. That was huge as was hidden. Then they found him Ruvik they raved and praised that they found an ancient god but a curse was granted amongst them. They became obsessed with him which then the hidden cult was born. They worshipped and killed others for him which then they were able to hear him. He gave them little power to show that he is still here. The curse started after that. People transformed into things unimaginable because of it, ruins were built to guard gems that bestowed the curse. People went against each other, then the mages died off but, magic was still their but few know of people, cities destroyed but they have a good hold now. Wars were fought then the power of the gems died off but they will soon comeback, but there is one thing that no one knows an ancient prophecy that foretells two endings, with a party of ordinary people to fight against the evil that is within the world. Both they fail and all realms end, or they become heroes of legend and save them.
The Beginning
It’s been a few months since the barbaric clan of the red hand and the town of Shondae got along with each other, but there has been disappearances and murders lately at least five people. The town’s folk are blaming goblins that are nearby while the clan is thinking it could be the townsfolk themselves. The resident noble calls a meeting to discuss what is going to happen with the disappearances of the people in the town square and find volunteers to hire to go to the goblin tribe and slay them for 10gp, but no one wants to go and see, except a few.
Noble: “We must not stay and watch our men and women go away. This is not why I seen to this town. I wanted freedom I wanted to be part of something bigger. I want to see that we can live in harmony but these pesky goblins are destroying that dream! I! Want to see that we can live not being afraid of the world that is outside of us, and I want to feel safe so do you! Does anyone want to help I’ll give you 10gp to find and slay those goblins and I will make you important in this town! I’ll have lodgings for whom can take down those pest!”
[Transition to the players]
(Go over why this appeals to the players with their backgrounds and why, also make them raise up their hands)
The noble is surprised to see your hands go up.
Noble: “Yes, Yes. These brave people, yes! Come up here lads (and ladies [if there are female players]) you can do it right do you guys have a fighting experience with a ‘little’ horde of goblins? If so come and try. This town needs heroes like you. Now tell me your names”
[Have the players go over their names and introduce each other]
