The Lost Crown Campaign

Lore & Background

The narrative establishes a deeper connection between the magic of time and the physical realm, showing how past actions ripple into future consequences. Unlike later entries where the Dagger of Time is central, this campaign focuses on the raw power of the Immortals and the Time Blades wielded by Sargon. The lore draws from ancient Persian mythology, standing apart from the timeline of the Sands of Time trilogy.

In Their Own Story

Sargon stood before the shifting ruins of the Temple of Dawn. The sand beneath his boots flowed upward, defying gravity as he activated his Time Blade. In the past, a stone bridge connected the chasm; in the present, it was dust. He leaped into the void, trusting the memory of the structure to hold him for one heartbeat. Ahead, Zahhak's shadow loomed over the Crown.
