Introduction to the Atruaghin Clans – The Concept

This storyline is to introduce players to the region known as the Atruaghin Clans, where animalistic races walk alongside humans as equals and constructive members of the society.

The belief of the people is in ancestral spirits as well as a dedication to the lands. Technology and the use of metals has been forbidden for anything beyond ritualistic connections with the spirits themselves. Using metal weapons, armour or currency is to taint the spirit of the user and their ancestors and spirit guides will not communicate with them because of this.

Festival of Winter. Introduction of the Bronze Dragonborn from the Bay of Whales Clutch to the Atruaghin Clans as part of the festival of winter. This was to showcase their limited understanding and youthfulness, even if they appeared as an adult to the characters.

Introduction to the Atruaghin Clans – The Reveal

AC 1000 – Year 1 – Level 1

Characters meet for the festival of winter. They witness the clans honouring the Aniumalistic races of Minotaur (with elk horns) and Centaurs. The riding animal of choice ofr the clan members are Giant Elk.

With one of the characters having a backstory of a betrothal to one of the tribes, I have worked in the introduction to inlcude a wedding between Faceplanter and Questions-All-Existance one of the shamans of the Mountain Lion tribe in the Bear Clan lands.

Intro to the Atruaghin Clans – The Outcome

Introduction of the Dragonborn acting as a group in the setting. They gain some starting items with a catch of a Clerical servant of the Dragon Gods.

This campaign was never played by my Wednesday group as they wanted to get stuck into the storyline. This is the final of the gazetteer booklets with the next one being a major boxed set dealing with the two main powers of the region.

I had intended this one to be an interesting look at tribal life an how the blending of the tribes keeps them safe, and the self imposed isolation is the greatest danger they face.

Update: My Tuesday night group have started this campaign and I have incorporated elements from Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Tales from the Yawning Portal. This has become the launchpad for the Wrath f the Immortals Tuesday Night Group.

Notable changes to the setting:

• The Atruaghin are mainly barbarians with totems of their tribes, or rangers, no fighters or paladins exist in this region. Rogues also in the children of the tiger.
• Spellcasters are limited to bards, druids and sorcerers, with warlocks also in the children of the tiger.
• The portal to the new world remains undiscovered.
• Possibility of more totems being used with more clans?
• Each of the tribes may contain animalistic humanoids which are the totems of their tribe.
