Your world is a peaceful one, comprised of plains, mountains, swamps, and pines. Cicadas sing, rivers flow, magic thrums through the air, and all of it's surrounded by a single massive wall that is as ancient as history itself. Side Character Quest (SCQ) is an anthology of fantasy series running since 2018. In each short quest, the show's host takes a single guest player on a journey through a larger shared world. Quests are usually 3-6 episodes long, and listeners can generally start the show at the beginning of any one of them! The show usually uses D&D 5e to run its “actual play” episodes, but sometimes episodes are fully improvised or take the form of “audiobook” style short stories.
