“
*Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.*
”
— Fukushu, the first *rōnin* to restore his honor through vengeance.
**Honorbound** is an upcoming D&D 5e campaign set in Vosel. It follows a group of *rōnin* in their quest for vengeance. The campaign begins in  The Shogunate in Vantion, the largest continent in the world.

As the curtains open, Lord Matsushiro lies dead. He has been slain by a band of assassins. As a result, you are now *rōnin*—masterless warriors disgraced in the eyes of your fellow vampires.

Honor demands that you choose between death and vengeance. You have chosen the latter. In order to restore your honor and avenge your slain master, you must unravel the conspiracy that took his life and kill all its participants by any and all means necessary.

## Story

### Background

The Matsushiro clan is one of the oldest vampire clans in the Shogunate. Established by Atushide the Great centuries ago, its prestige was shattered by the defeat of the Matsushiro Shogunate in the Godfall. Ever since then, the family's fortunes have waxed and waned, but the Crimson Moon has brought no further Matsushiro shoguns.

### Prologue

How you came into Keno's service is up to you. When you joined his trusted circle of bodyguards and retainers, though, you swore an oath to protect him. And protect him you did, even when, lost in the adrenaline of battle, he rushed into single combat with Hirata the Rebel, or seized upon a bandit camp all by himself.

On a bright summer noon, however, you were roused from rest by the clashing of steel. Rushing to the Daimyo's quarters, you discovered his rapidly-dissolving, blood-covered corpse, and saw the places where fangs had permanently ended his vampirism. Your killer instincts responded in an instant: you raced after the murderers, intent on justice, and leaped onto the castle battlements to chase after them.
