Drums of Ascension

Drums of Ascension is a Mörk Borg campaign concept or idea.  It is not a full campaign. It is a submittal to the Folk-Lore game jam.

Influenced by the Hawaiian folk lore of the Nightmarchers (huaka'i pō or "Spirit Ranks," ‘oi’o) link.  I am not an expert on these traditions nor am I a Hawaiian. I only refer to the core concept of the legend for a non-commercial submission to the Folk-Lore game jam with the utmost respect.

In addition, I have also swirled into the mix many other traditions and references to tell the story of a campaign.  I focused on the narrative of the Campaign interweaving the Legend of the Nightmarchers to bring some semblance of hope to the downtrodden of Mörk Borg, justice, and salvation initiated from vengeance and hatred.  This is an idea, but I like the concept of working with the community to fully realize this idea into something of significance that gives an end of times story to Mörk Borg that the true heroes of it can die trying to throw down the powers that be in favor of the truest sense of freedom.

Illustrations are from Gustave Doré’s Crusades, The Bible, and other Works corrupted solely by me and used to help tell the story of the Ascension of HE and the destruction of the World.  While much of the imagery will have religious connotations common in our world, the intention is to use these imagery to set context.  I don’t have time to worry about most of the mechanics of things - so, I’ll get help with those if anyone likes the idea.
