'At the Shrine of Othrys' Index Page
This page lists the reposts associated with the ongoing “At the Shrine of Othrys” RPG campaign! Follow the ongoing adventures of planetouched priestess Angelia (Carter Valentine), Cynocephalian sorcerer Lyco (Oliver Knorr), Human rogue Teris (Paul Knorr), and Myrmidon fighter Myrmex (Andrew Knorr) as they continue to explore an ancient shrine at the base of ominous Mount Othrys.
This adventure designed and run by Michael O. Varhola takes place in Skirmisher Publishing's bestselling Swords of Kos Fantasy Campaign Setting, a Dark Ages swords-and-sorcery version of the Aegean and the lands surrounding it.
