# Warcraft Template: Campaign
Ah, Salaam and good evening to you worthy friend. Welcome to Ramkahen. City of mystery, of enchantment, and the finest Tol'vir artifacts this side of the river Vir'naal. Come to explore, but be wary, for the shadows whisper and nightmares walk.

## About Your Campaign
Introduce the campaign. What is the goal, potential plots, and flavor for this adventure? Why do players need to come here, and how? Will they stop a rising power, complete tasks to gain allies, solve mysteries to uncover a plot, gather resources, reclaim treasures, etc. Aspects can include NPC interactions, puzzles, battles, racing against time, completing a series of actions in key locations, etc.
**Example Campaign:** This campaign starts players interacting with the coming Visions of N'Zoth scenarios and kick off new adventures in patch 8.3 BFA. Start players in Ramkahen Uldum to begin groundwork for the event, or start immediately in the Lost City outdoor dungeon.
### History of Your Location
Add some historical information for your event location. Find content from WoWpedia, quests, novels, fanon, and your own creations to add life to your campaign.
Add quotes and descriptions to post in-game using description boxes (click PHB > Descriptive Text Box).
**Example Campaign:** The Lost City in Uldum once held the forces of Neferset. In past campaigns, the evils were forced back, but something stirs again in the oasis city.
In recent years, adventurers have aided the Tol'vir to battle ancient enemies. And for years since, a calm has held the sands. With the attack of the Twisting Nether and sword of Sargeras plunged nearby in the heart of Silithus, Uldum once against suffers from shadows and whispers.
But what afflicts the lands? A letter has arrived to the leading scholars of the Explorer's League and Reliquary for help.
Scholars, I have received word from scouts of strange lights and whispers in the Lost City. Adventurers aided my people to clear the Neferset from the city of the Vir'naal. I ask for aid from the Explorer's League and Reliquary to investigate the ruins. Perhaps it is ancient artifacts empowered or affected by the titan's sword, or burgulars upsetting old spirits. I welcome your brave efforts to delve into the city once again.
By my hand, King Phaoris
### Lands of Mystery
Add general content for your adventure's locations. For larger campaigns, consider the lands and areas, kingdoms, tribes, etc. For smaller events, consider the grounds, buildings, any water sources, etc. Add maps to help!
**Example Campaign:**
> ##### Thieves and Nightmares
>
> Thieves broke into the ruins of the Lost City, seeking ancient artifacts and treasures. With a map and secrets bought in Gadgetzan, Gideon Fergeson a Wastewander Bandit and Gilly Cogcoin Gadgetzan Goblin built a crew and hit the ruined city. And they hit paydirt!
>
>With riches from tombs and temples found under the market, they saw a bright future. Then N'Zoth slithered from the depths of the Eternal Palace, spilling forth into bones buried deep in Ahn'Qirag tunnels under Uldum.
The events occur entirely in the Lost City. Using the outdoor dungeon, players begin in locations matching the locations of the interior dungeons. They can affect further events in Uldum and N'Zoth, perhaps gaining a location for stockpiling supplies or sanctuary in the visions to come.

# Chapter 1: The Fallen City
Describe the beginning of encounters using chapters. Add numbered headings per step, location, NPCs, potential clues and items, and encounters. The following headings provide examples of numbered parts and locations on the map.
## 1. Lost and Found
The party enters the location with the information provided from King Phaoris. Any enemies in the area should be considered twisted and bent, whispering to themselves, odd quirks, all slowly touched by N'Zoth.
The ruins of the Lost City look intact, livable, in the heart of a bountiful oasis. Yet the closer you come, as you enter, you sense an uneasy stillness. No sounds of birds or wildlife meet ears, and a scent of old rot lingers. The sandy streets show signs of shuffled feet, man and Tol'vir, heading deeper into the city.
### 1A. Scout Found!
Marks the remains of Scout Vron. He was sent with a small pack to investigate the Lost City for the thieves.
The players find the body and can search it for signs and clues. Add other items found on the body, wounds of death, etc to better describe what they find.
The corpse of Scout Vron is oddly fresh but unresponsive, not risen as Forsaken, but not rotting as expected. A look of horror is frozen on his face, eyes glassy, fur silvered in some places. His claws grip around a broken staff and a torn backpack.
### 1B. Map Found!
Players find the remains of a tossed camp. Here are a couple wagons, crates, supplies, and pavilions of the thieves. They set up a campsite to work from. Players may search and find a few key items including a journal of investigations, broken artifacts, etc.
Partial or full map is laying on a crate with rocks holding it down. Gideon and Gilly used it to navigate. Strange marks may be added, showing the madness slowly taking their minds. Or they may find it partially burned.
An old map worn from the elements, dust, and old dark stains is held down under rocks on a set of crates. Fresh ink marks indicate digs into tunnels, chambers under houses, and strange symbols. Marks show an old altar being reused near the waters and digs all through the market towards new construction.
### 1C. Battle - The Craven Crew
The players have their first encounter with the crazed remains of the crew. Gideon and Gilly will be encountered later.
The crew have gone mad, symbols carved in their flesh, digging and collecting weird stonework and items from buildings, as they whisper phrases over and over. They suffer the effects of N'Zoth's nightmares. Players can roll perception to spy on the craven crew.
A small group of humans and goblins work tirelessly on piles of finds. Bits of stone and rubble lay on make shift tables and canvas. A large hole carves through the street into tunnels below. They madly whisper phrases from their nightmares, each marked in symbols and knife cuts. Black blood oozes from ears and eyes.
They rush the players with mad chittering and any weapons at hand including pickaxes, shovels, guns, and swords. Some of them have pulsing red and purple in their eyes, muttering insane phrases.
##### Craven Crew
*Maddened Thieves*
- **Health:** 10, 3 to 5 enemies
- **Attack Roll:** +1
- **Armor:** Leather +1 to combat
- **Perks:** Madness (inflict -2 to all rolls, once per battle)

## 2. Altar of Blood
In the Oasis of the Fallen Prophet an old altar has been revived. Gideon completes a ritual as players arrive, calling forth something from the deep maw. Tentacle creatures burst forth from the earth, to attack the players.
The twisted form of Gideon stands before an altar of stone, muttering phrases over bones and inked pages. As he finishes incantations, the earth trembles, waters ripple, and the air fills with whispers in ancient tongues. Tentacles of sickly flesh and eyes rip through the ground to writhe around Gideon wreathed in shadows.
A group of Clasping Death and Gideon (optional) attack the players.
##### Clasping Death
*Burrowing Nightmares*
- **Health:** 10/10, 3 to 5 tentacles
- **Attack Roll:** +1
- **Perks:** Evasive (-2 player combat rolls), Intervene (prevent NPC damage), Deadly Grapple (+1 to attack rolls)
##### Gideon
*Fallen Prophet*
- **Health:** 12/12
- **Attack Roll:** +1
- **Perks:** Stamina, Shield of Shadows (-1 any damage from players)
A small pack of Tol'Vir patrol and toil to the whims of shadows wreathed around their heads. Like the others, they whisper to nothing, caught in nightmares.
Rather than a straight fight, players may try to cleanse the scouts, helping them break free of their blight and help the players.
##### Lords of the Sands
*Pack of Hunters and Lions*
- **Health:** 10/10
- **Attack Roll:**
- **Armor:** Mail -1 to damage taken
- **Perks:** Great Weapons (+1 to damage dealt)
A writhing of inky black outlines a hulking shape freed into this world from some nightmarish mind. Eyes glow from a fallen sun in a desolate world, glaring upon this one. It towers in this ancient place, seeking something or protecting the way between.
##### Faceless Caster
*Nightmare Lord of Pain*
- **Health:** 12/12
- **Attack Roll:**
- **Armor:**
- **Perks:** Stamina, Nightmare Gaze (all player attacks -1, 2 uses only), Great Weapon (tentacle arms or magic)

## 5. Priest of N'zoth
The players come to the final encounter facing a priest of N'Zoth. Screams from its mind are a song of creation, weaving the way from N'Zoth's visions into this reality.
Delicate and loud, the taps of many steel tipped claws mark the path taken by a figure more spider than man. Arms clasped round as if it felt a chill, throat striken as a tiny mouth raised in sharp cries. Something horrid answered, as shadows wound tighter as if strangling reality until minds splintered.
There in the wide terrace of gardens and market, now tarnished and damned, stood a single priest singing to a river running black and purple.
"Come, bear witness, and receive the gift of dreams..."
This battle is within a minor terrifying vision of N'Zoth.
##### Screaming Priest
