Introduction to Ferrowmist

Welcome overview of the Ferrowmist living-world campaign.

Welcome to Ferrowmist

Ferrowmist is a collaborative living-world tabletop campaign set in Caldrath, a continent shaped by ancient dragons and the enigmatic mist that bears the setting's name. Instead of a single static party, multiple groups adventure in the same timeline, and their choices ripple outward to affect the shared world.

Whether you're a player exploring the compendium or a GM preparing to host, this guide gives you the context you need to jump in. You'll find lore that captures the tone of Caldrath, guidelines for adapting Fifth Edition play, and tools for keeping the world coherent between sessions.

Keep these pillars in mind as you read:

  • The campaign persists between tables—records matter and actions have consequences.
  • Story arcs emerge from player-driven goals rather than scripted metaplots.
  • Coordinated communication between GMs keeps the timeline, factions, and treasure economy aligned.
