Legacy Of The Dracolich (campaign idea)
Here’s one for you DM’s that want a campaign based around beat one incredibly powerful enemy & their army of undead.
In an age long ago, a great ancient dragon attempted to conquer the world. In their quest to conquer the world, they were foiled by a group of great adventures. When the dragon was defeated it cursed itself with a spell that would bring it back stronger in 1000 years, as the legendary Dracolich!
It is now 999 years later, & this story has become nothing more than a make believe story to the masses. To the few who believe the story is true, or were around during the time it happened, are attempting to create some sort of resistance for when this great threat comes to awaken.
During all of this, the party happen to stumble upon the grand bones of the dracolich while exploring some weird underground temple (the DM can make it so that the players accidentally awaken the dragon, or this is how they end up getting in contact with one of the anti-dracolich groups). Nonetheless, at the end of the year, the dracolich will awaken & either the world or the dracolich will break!
