The Siege of Harrowgate

Setting: Homebrew — the Varrow March, a contested border province of river towns and hill forts

Edition: 2024 rules

Entities: 13

Overview

A D&D war campaign for levels 4 to 10. The Iron Duke's host has crossed the Varrow, and only Harrowgate, a half-ruined border keep, stands between it and the river towns. The party arrive as hired swords and end up running the garrison: rationing grain, leading sorties, choosing which villages to evacuate and which to burn. Somewhere inside the walls a traitor is opening the postern gate. Hold for forty days and the relief army comes. Nobody believes it will.
