Caislen Campaign Notes

This is an old revision of the document!

PLAYER CHARACTERS

FYI: I've left the main PCs blank to create in the hopes that the players will make their own notes. So please feel free to get in there and create actual entries for them. Your characters are linked all over this wiki. I'm also tracking XP after games on this particular page now to help with what we'll call “drunk math”. Also see the Backstories section for more misc character details.

The Party

Anywhere on our campaign's website where something says “The Party” refers to whomever the active player characters are or were when an event happened or a note was made. Most context clues for these things can be figured out by reading the associated notes from the homepage or archived session lore.
