The Baited Hook The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

Once a popular tavern that served the finest fish in all of the vale now is nothing more than an occassional gathering place for meetings and such. Outside of it hangs a sign bearing the name of the establishment. The tavern's central lounge contains a small hearth. The main entrance features a stout bar that can be swung down to bar it against forceful intrusion.

And additionally, its upper rooms act as guestrooms, with chimneys poking out from each of them. The establishment overall lacks in luxuries, but feels as comfortable as any home. The inn is ran by Glint, the half-orc proprietor and bartender. He offers strong spirits, ales, and wines. Rooms are available and Glint is always ready to chat and share the latest rumors at no additional expense to the guests, since so few frequent his establishment these days, visitors are always a welcome sight.

The inn itself is made of stone with a tile roof. The windows of the inn look out over the lake. The Baited Hook has small stables which are located on the side of the building. Surpisingly, being a Half-Orc, Glint is surprisingly well liked amog the remaining folk of Mistwatch. He has a soft heart and tends to cater to the ladies who visit his inn, showing them extra politeness.

Glint has worked very hard to keep his establishment operating through these tough times and even has taken one of the upstairs rooms as is own living space. The Baited Hook is all Glint has left and he does not mean to lose it.

Our Valelands Campaign Nentir Vale Map
"A century has passed since the great human Empire of Nerath fell, leaving the Nentir Vale a desolate borderland region populated by "points of light"—isolated towns and villages surrounded by a monster-infested wilderness. The mighty empires of the dragonborn and tieflings that existed long before Nerath also lie in ruins, their legacies lost beneath the untamed land. The roads are dangerous, overgrown, and plagued by bandits, marauding humanoids, and foul beasts.

Travel between civilized areas like the trading town of Fallcrest and the dwarven citadel of Hammerfast is a peril-filled journey. Ruined keeps and abandoned manors, remnants of a forgotten age, litter the countryside, ripe for adventurers to explore and claim as their own. This land does not have a powerful kingdom to enforce its laws or fend off the growing evils. It needs heroes who are brave enough to venture into the dark and face the lurking monsters and evil cults."

« Advanced Dungeons & Dragons »

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) is a more complex, expansive version of the original tabletop role-playing game published by TSR in the late 1970s to add depth and complexity that its creator, Gary Gygax, felt was missing from the original. It features more rules, character options, and more campaign settings.

TSR (Tactical Studies Rules): is the publisher of the original Dungeons & Dragons and also created AD&D.
• Editions: AD&D 1st edition was first published in 1977.
• Core Books: TSR released the core rulebooks (Monster Manual, Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide) in the late 1970s and early 1980s, setting the standard for the game's 1st Edition. TSR later released the Unearthed Arcana commonly referred to as the 1.5 edition.
• Complexity: AD&D added more detailed rules, higher-level play, more character classes, and a wider variety of options compared to the original game.
• Separate Games: TSR published AD&D alongside a parallel, less complex version called Basic Dungeons & Dragons (BD&D), which was designed to be easier to learn and play.
• 1st Edition (1977-1979): The initial release, which was more complex and had a lot more tables & charts for players to use.

« About Our Adventures »

Our campaigns will consist of multiple adventures tied together to create long lasting campaigns as well as single module adventures as well. These adventures will work together to create "our own" Nentir Vale campaign setting.

We are always looking for more people that would like to join us that will be "dedicated" players & DMs. We are very rusty to online play and have been away from the game for a long time so, if you can tolerate some mistakes being made while we learn then please give us a shout out.

If you think that you would like to join us in our adventures, you can leave us a comment in our comment section located here.
