DOMINION CAMPAIGN

The port town of Velmontis, nestled along the windswept coast, thrives under the watchful eye of Marquis Alaric D'Velmontis, whose lineage has ruled the town for over three centuries. While Velmontis boasts a prosperous marketplace and a burgeoning trade in gold and treasures from the nearby hills, its people live under constant threat from the Shakle Hills Orc tribes. The Orcs have plagued the region with raids, forcing the Marquis to divert resources into an ambitious fortification project aimed at safeguarding the surrounding farmland and trade routes.

The King’s emissaries, adorned in finery and bearing peace proposals, have been sent to negotiate with the Orcs, though progress remains slow. Meanwhile, treasure seekers and adventurers have flocked to Velmontis in a gold rush, lured by the legendary lost mines of Dagan the Delver. Five mines have already been uncovered, yielding significant wealth for the town, but the hills are said to hide hundreds of undiscovered boleholes, each rumored to contain untold riches and the town mapmakers are making a pretty coin selling details to new arrivals.

Velmontis also boasts a safe harbour and stout wharfs, fortified with watchtowers, sees ships arrive daily laden with goods and treasure hunters eager to try their luck. The town’s market square thrives, selling wares from exotic spices to crude iron salvaged from past battles. The looming fortifications and the newly constructed outposts in the hills serve as a reminder of the precarious balance between prosperity and peril.

The people of Velmontis press forward, united by their ambition and resilience, striving to defend their heritage while uncovering the secrets hidden within the those hills.
