Summary

It should be noted that the participants in this campaign were 14 when it began.

The game had a main thread following an elven protagonist named "Covenant", after the player's favorite character from the novel series The Thomas Covenant Chronicles. At that time, the world used a re-interpreted Forgotten Realms map for its geography. Covenant had a part-time companion that was also his sister, Alicia. His character class was a house-rule class called the "mystic" which was an abusive elaboration of weapon mastery rules.

Covenant's adventures included some world-shaping behaviors, such as making a wish to kill all lizard men, and personally murdering all gnomes and halflings.

Canon

Almost nothing from this campaign is canonical, except that there is an Immortal from the Lost Age known only as the Oathbound whose Immortal saga is inspired by this campaign. The Immortal was later shaped into a weapon that could be used to destroy Founders.
