Introduction
Draco Noctus is a 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons game in a low-fantasy setting. Inspirations for Draco Noctus include the Song of Ice and Fire series, the Dragonlance novels, or more modern works like the World of Watches franchise and American Gods.

Low-fantasy (in this context, at least) in characterized by the relatively uncommon nature of magic, the rarity of many of non-human species, and the general distrust of power sources other than martial and divine. Major themes of the game will be personal and character-driven, and players are encouraged to help shape the world as they explore their characters' goals, beliefs, ambition, desires, and matters of honor.

Characters start at 4th level as servants, associates, soldiers, prisoners, or members of House Vissen. Vissen is a moderately influential house on the western coast of the kingdom of Widmyr.

Getting started: First, read the Setting page. This will give you some background on Widmyr, House Vissen, other important houses, NPCs, etc. Then, visit the Campaign page. This explains what to expect from Draco Noctus, offers some character hooks, and fills you in on house rules and etiquette standards (it will also explain how the low-fantasy setting impacts gameplay and character creation). Finally, check the Character page to get the skinny on any existing party members. You could communicate with the player to establish a link in the background or simply avoid duplicating classes and concepts.
