The Dying Star
Command: !namedcampaign the-dying-starSetting: Spelljammer / Wildspace Unlock requirement: 3 standard campaign clears Difficulty: Higher than the standard gauntlet Cooldown: Shares the channel daily cooldown
Lore
Across Wildspace, worlds are going dark.
Not all at once. Slowly — crops failing, sunlight thinning, strange crystalline growths pushing up through soil that was healthy yesterday. By the time a world understands what is happening to it, the process is already nearly complete.
The Xaryxian Empire feeds their dying star through the Starfire Engine, an arcane construct of staggering scale that harvests the life energy of entire planets to keep Xaryxis burning. It has done this for centuries. Your world is next on the list.
A spelljamming vessel arrives — or crashes — carrying news of what is coming. The party has a narrow window to act. Find the Engine. Reach it. And decide, when you are standing in front of it, what you are actually willing to do.
Starting the Campaign
!namedcampaign ashes-of-xaryxis
You will be prompted to choose !solo or !joincamp. Named campaigns require at least 3 standard !campaign clears to unlock. If you have not yet completed the required number, you will be turned away.
