Welcome to the Campaign Codex

A living record of legends, lies, and very expensive mistakes.

This wiki tracks the lore, people, places, and consequences of your adventures across the Sword Coast in 1488 DR. Start with the Active Quests or check the latest Session Logs.

Current Arc: Rise of Tiamat

What you know: A cult devoted to the Dragon Queen gathers power, allies, and treasure—seeking to unmake the balance of the Realms. They hold the Draakhorn, a horn that can muster dragons across the North, and are working toward summoning Tiamat herself. What you need: Leads, leverage, and friends in high (and low) places.

Quest Leads

Quest Leads are breadcrumbs, rumors, and mysteries the party has encountered but hasn't fully pursued yet. Unlike active quests, these are hints that could develop into full quests when investigated. (Full list on the Quest Tracker.)

Quest Lead What's Known
Prophecy of the Thorn-Born Star "Five heads rising from the shadow's root" — a prophecy of Tiamat's return; Maccath the Crimson formally took on the research for Gootcha in S51.
The Goosebear — is the honk the Draakhorn? A legendary fear-honking chimera of the north; Shade suspects the "honk" may actually be the Draakhorn. Halvard Greyskein renewed his offer (S51) to bankroll an expedition to its hoard, for a cut.
Voaraghamanthar's lost hoard The mine treasure was a Cult offering — his true hoard lies elsewhere, and his twin Waervaerendor may have revived him.
Arauthator's Mate (Arveiaturace) Arauthator's mate survives in the far north, driven insane by her tiefling wizard companion's death; Arauthator abducted Maccath the Crimson as a candidate replacement for her (revealed S51). At large — a live threat.
The Mattock of the Titan mystery Its mining magic blazed for one task then went dormant; the Svirfneblin want to know why.
The Compact's future debt The reforged party owes Lady Calera / Zarchelia aid in a coming conflict, on Dispater's warrant.
The ice hunters' grudge Bone Carver and the freed ice-hunter clan turned hostile after learning the party killed their missing brethren.
The Eye of Gilbraxis — "at least one of them" More than one Eye is implied to exist; the one Shade bears was a wizard before death.
The Sighing Masks — Cult splinter at large The Cult of the Dragon cell behind the Halia waypoint attacks was never found; identity and whereabouts unknown.
Two patrons over the party's souls — Raven Queen vs. Dispater Both the Raven Queen (through Gootcha's pact) and the Hells (through Dispater / Zarchelia and the Compact) hold competing claims on the company. The Raven Queen blessed the infernal resurrection (S49), yet "has questions" about devils meddling in death's natural order (S44).
The Mind Gobbler still lives — and is adapting The mythic illithid-made aberration beneath Garmok's Mine survived the party's retreat; per Ilyra Voss it learns from the magic used against it and grew a new mythic phase. Left alive and growing stronger. (S45)
Ilyra Voss's agenda & the illithid colony The drow studied the Underdark aberrations for ~450 years alongside an illithid observer and used the party as test subjects. Her goals and the mind flayer presence under Garmok's Mine are unresolved. (S45–46)
~500 red coins still in the party's bag of holding The party kept ~500 blood-red coins unmelted as evidence and props (S51); still infernally saturated, shielded only while inside the bag.
The Bronze Blades frame-job fallout Shade convinced Ship Kurth and the Arcane Brotherhood (Deception 26) that the innocent Bronze Blades carry red coins and should be searched "thoroughly" (S51). A ticking comedic time bomb.
The Cult's Tiamat temple & Infernal ritual book (Garmok's Mine) The party looted an Infernal-dialect ritual book from a Cult of the Dragon shrine to Tiamat in the mine (S45); its contents and the Cult's purpose there were never followed up.
Northern allies — Verithrax & Mick An anti-Tiamat adult bronze dragon and a friendly Marid genie remain in the Sea of Moving Ice, sympathetic and unspent — potential allies for the Well of Dragons endgame. (S47)
The freed lair-peoples ally network With Arauthator dead, the frost giant Hrimthur, the troll Ralph, and the ice-toad scholar Marfulb are standing favors and potential allies in the north. (S48–50)
House T'sarran's drow vendetta The party killed Commander Vyran T'sarran and a drow priestess beneath Garmok's Mine (S46); their house may seek reprisal.
The Aboleth in the Underdark lake The party appeased and fled an ancient aboleth in a lake beneath Garmok's Mine (S46); aboleths nurse long memories.
The Derro's surface-trade ambitions / the "Bronze Blades" lie Derro traders beneath Garmok's Mine want a surface trade route and were told by Shade that the Bronze Blades are "dwarves worth trading with" (S45) — a lie that could boomerang.
Shade's mycelial visions Myconid rapport spores gave Shade vivid hallucinations — a spectral winged creature and a mystical forest scene (S46). Possibly meaningful foreshadowing.
Unexplored relics from Garmok's hoard Two items from Garmok's Mine remain unexamined — a "strange crown" and a "funerary urn with unknown remains" (S44).
