The Owlvent Calendar 2023

For christmas this year we are releasing an entire

setting as an advent calendar. Every day of December
we will release a little bit more information about the
Domain of Delight, Hyperborea. Including an adevnture
to introduce the domain and it’s denizens to your
players.
We will be starting with a description of the domain
and will add more and more information to really flesh
out not only the domain but also the celebrations of
winter that take place all around the worlds of D&D.

to anyone she likes the look of, and she has yet to meet
someone she doesn’t like the look of.
