Campaign Background

The campaign begins in Sharn, the City of Towers. Where the PCs are members of the famous (some would call infamous) Morgrave University. For those who don't know anything about Morgrave. It is a place the studies the mysterious continent of Xen'drik which lies to the south of the main continent of Khorvaire.

As the campaign begins the characters will begin as associates of the university in some way. This can be of several different roles, but none of which can be main faculty or administrater.

Learning from Morgrave often deals with more than just classroom learning as it's main goal is to produce people capable of discovering more ancient secrets and providing a place for them to bring those discoveries back to.

Student: You are attending the university to learn about various histories and artifacts of Eberron.

Contributor: This is a kinder name for those who deal in found artifacts from all over the world. Keep in mind that not all found items are found in ancient places. Students often earn this title once they graduate from the university.

Trainer: Not faculty but a student of higher ranking often charged with dealing with student issues on a personal basis.

From here I plan to try and keep the game open ended, and build the story around the party. They will be offered jobs by the university or may come across rumors that strike them as curious. From this their encounters will build the story.
