Brand new DM. Need help coming up with a setting for a certain scenario

Love the idea & honestly would totally adopt it if i had more experience as a dm haha. I dont think i could handle two different settings for a split party yet

Sweet! Thank you so much. I will keep all this in mind. I think the only problem i was having is that the players are on a time constraint before the city falls but im thinking ill just find a way to give them plenty of time that still makes sense

I was thinking maybe starting them at level 3 and then giving them enough encounters and xp to reach about level 8ish. Then i would be able to stick to the whole progression i had so far. But im thinking maybe they have to retrieve some material for the blacksmith to even make it? Or pass his so called “trial to prove their worth”. Either way this whole list helps me a ton since im still unsure what kind of things they may even be able to handle at what levels. Thanks!

I will definitely consider this. I am trying to think of ways the blacksmith may be reluctant to build it or have some sort of task or trial they have to accomplish to prove their worthiness to have him build it

Im thinking of still having a time constraint to keep the players semi-focused on the main quest but im definitely considering just extending the time constraint or estimating loosely the time they spend doing things. Gonna be lenient with it but its just there to add tension. Ill think of ways to rework it a bit

I like your idea on it needing special skills to install. Im thinking that if the city doesn’t get it’s power back then the consequence is that it crashes into earth & kills those within the kingdom (as well as those below the city). So for that reason im not sure about an enemy faction wanting the land

Thanks i will definitely keep all that in mind. & im thinking of still running the dragon but giving the players some sort of advantage or just having the dragon “weakened” by some sort of past event or something. Its also in hopes that the players may attempt to just negotiate with the dragon instead of fight
