There and Back Again

Project Goals

Between the Dawn of Faerie and the Dominion of Men lies an adventure waiting to be had. We need your help in order to fulfill our destinies.

We are a band of thirteen heroes who are determined to recover the treasure of our ancestors. In the process, we hope to also experience a journey of personal growth.

Details

An ancient king was driven from his mountain kingdom by a marauding dragon, who roosts there still. It is wreaking havoc on the local population and hoarding an extensive treasure. Soon these pieces will be beyond restoration and important history and art will be lost.

With your help, we can change that. Our plan is simple:

1) Walk 458 miles to the Valley of the Deeply Cloven Valley.

2) Feast and make merry Prepare for great battle.

3) Travel 570 miles to the Companionless Mountain.

5) Profit.
