#cyre

If you could live anywhere in the world of Crown of Exile, where would it be?

Would you choose Cyre for its rich diet in fish and military prowess? Do you prefer Ishari, with its ancient beliefs and rich traditions? You may enjoy a multi-cultural realm like Vinia, where heritages collide to form something new. But maybe settling down isn't for you, and you want a nomadic lifestyle instead.

I'd love to know your ideal home. Let me know in the poll below!

Day 13: Paladin: Oath of Glory

There’s a bunch of mithril and adamantine in the Mournland cause of all the dead warforged and other constructs. Cannith South is working with Breland to claim it while Cannith East is aligned with Karnath.

New Cyre would also benefit from the profits and has a strong claim as it’s on their former land.

Meanwhile the Lord of Blades sees everything in the Mournland as belonging to the warforged and is opposed to all other factions.

Hello! I’m Desmond and I’m a dungeon master/game master and a graduate student studying fan studies and specifically fan archives. I know I’m mostly shouting into the void right now, but if I’m not- hi, hello, how are you!

I’m currently DM-ing Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos for a 6 person party that calls themselves The Loose Ends. I love recounting their chaotic endeavors, so that’s probably going to be a lot of what I write about. This version of Strixhaven University takes place in the Eberron campaign setting (shoutout to the unofficial god of D&D, Keith Baker) that I’ve been playing in with this group for the past 2.5 years now! 

The table’s adventures (first party was The Mistakes [Curse of Strahd and Rise of Tiamat] and the second was The Placeholders [homebrew adventure]) has changed a lot about that Eberron- chiefly that the Mourning was reversed and Cyre is in its second renaissance as it bounces back from certain death. I’ll talk about who these characters were/are and what my Eberron looks like now sometime in the future.

My studies are rooted in fan culture and fan archives- which includes AO3 chiefly, as well as communities on Tumblr! I’m in the throes of writing my thesis, so I might not touch on that as much, but idk!

I am someone who is shifting a focus back to Tumblr after the collapse of Twitter, but I’m certainly not new to this platform- I’ve been here for the past decade with varying levels of interaction- but I’m looking forward to taking the time to build this blog from scratch!
