Podcast Description
As days darken and the light of hope begins to wither, travelers on the frontier yearn for a hero to shape the new world's future...Following the wreckage of the Great War, the newly unified Feraelands found themselves taken advantage of by the Nine Archdevils of the Hells – conniving children of the Gods who targeted struggling frontier families and soldiers, offering them otherworldly powers beyond mortal comprehension at the measly cost of their soul post-mortem. Zenith couldn’t bear to see her beloved mortals be taken advantage of; choosing four individuals from different walks of life to serve as her Chosen, who succeeded in reforming the relationship between the surface and the Hells. In the beginning – this brought a gale of positive change to the Feraelands. But, once the journey was over, time continued its cruel march as our heroes grew jaded, resentful – disillusioned with the responsibilities placed on their heavy shoulders. With each beast felled, a new, deadlier foe would arise – and as the four took on everything from corrupt tax collectors to dragons displacing entire settlements with their almost otherworldly abilities, the unity that once bathed the Feraelands in a Golden light of hope had begun to dim.Years have passed since these legendary heroes were plucked from their everyday lives and sent down a path of adventuring for “a higher purpose”. Our gilded heroes of the Feraelands were weathered by the region’s never-ending storm and one faithful day many years ago, the four cut ties and decided to carve their own paths – at least, that’s what they thought the fates had in store for them.--Dastardly Dungeoneers is an actual play podcast using Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and Dungeons & Dragons 2024 to spin a tale of devilry, divine intervention, and the indomitable strength of mankind in the face of tyranny.Hell-Fired Heroes features the incredibly talented Tanlynn Morgan (@gremlinfroggie and gremlinfroggart) as Judicia Willhelm, Adam Gonzales (@adam5gms) as Ansel Willhelm, Jesse Espinoza (@jessee-gm on Bluesky) as Yara, and Kim Tsuyuki (@dewonatree) as Thalia Katsuo.Dastardly Dungeoneers is written, DM'd, and produced by Anna Eliza (@locallvluplady)Cover art by Taylor Murchie (@murchie_art)--Check Out 5GMs In a Trenchcoat!
