StarFall
An actual play D&D podcast
 

Welcome to the world of Aerith—a realm steeped in mystery, ancient magic, and rising shadows. Long ago, a great calamity shattered the balance of this world. The skies burned, the stars fell, and the event would be remembered only as The StarFall.
 

For generations before, Aerith knew peace. Mortals lived in harmony with the gods who once shaped the land. But when extra-planar forces threatened that peace, the gods gifted humanity with a spark—the power to wield magic. At first, it was used to protect. But as power often does, it corrupted. Some turned away from the gods, using magic to seek dominion, and in their hubris, summoned an archdemon whose descent nearly destroyed the world.

Only the united might of the gods could vanquish the creature, but it came at a cost. Weakened and diminished, the gods withdrew from the mortal realm. In their absence, they entrusted magic—and its burden—to humanity. Thus was born the Church of the Pinnacle Star: sacred stewards of the arcane, sworn to ensure magic was used with wisdom, restraint, and reverence.

A thousand years have passed.

The Church now stands as Custodians of Magic, but peace is fragile. In crowded marketplaces and dim taverns, whispers grow louder: of old magics stirring, of shadows lengthening, and of ancient powers watching once more.

Join our adventurers as they uncover the secrets of a world still scarred by StarFall. From forbidden knowledge and ancient prophecies to political intrigue and highborn conspiracies, the fate of Aerith hangs in the balance—and the story is only just beginning.
