D&D5E: the Five Lions Roar [ EDIT ]

This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.

The Five Lions is an idyllic, rural community nestled in the foothills of the Orsraun Mountains of Turmish. Being tucked away in the corner of a land that generally sends it's warriors to fight elsewhere, rather than waging their own wars, the region has enjoyed relative peace and prosperity for more than a century.

But recently there have been... troubles. This season's crop is wilted and weak. And shortages of the region's famous wines and cheeses have plunged it's peoples into an economic, and societal, depression. And as a series of worrisome occurrences seem to reach a peak, it has become clear that the region is in need of heroes!

Character Generation Info

Setting: Forgotten Realms

Books allowed:
PHB, XGtE, TCoE, and -POSSIBLY- VGtM

Point Buy Stat Generation:
Beginning at Level 1

Premise:
Characters must either be locals to the western region of Turmish, or can be travelers/outsiders to the area, so long as they have a reason (a Bond?) to care about that region. I don't want to be more restrictive on character concepts than is necessary, but characters who don't necessarily see themselves as a prototypical adventurer-type would fit the tone and themes of this campaign best.
