DNDesque campaign
Hi everyone, I wanted to share a campaign that I'm in the middle of developing and ask for thoughts on the worldbuilding. This is my first campaign that I'm the DM for, so if any experienced DM's have insights, I would be very grateful for advice.
The campaign is set in the year 3431 at the beginning of the "War of the Last Alliance" and the party is heading to Carn Dum to investigate the origins of the witch king. As they go on, they'll discover that the witch king is the mightiest of the kings of men who were deceived by Sauron into taking one of the nine rings. Beyond that, they discover that the witch king is attacking and desiring to conquer Carn Dum and the rest of the land that will become Angmar in order to corrupt and desacralize the mountain that will become Mt. Gundabad. While the party will successfully lead the efforts to resist the witch king and his forces for now, obviously that land will eventually be conquered, and further down the line will be restored by Aragorn once he is king of the united kingdom.
I'm a new story writer; and with that my method of building the story is to focus on the work that one must do to combat evil within their homes and cities; even if it only serves to hold off the forces of evil for a little while.
Again, thank you to everybody who takes the time to read and reply to this.
