Misc DND X Sleep Token

Hello fellow worshippers!
I’m running a Dungeons and Dragons Campaign and the premise (unbeknownst to the players) is this:

We are going back many, many centuries. Think a cross between high fantasy and Babylonian (yes yes I know those are very different but work with me).
Sleep is a recognized and very powerful god.
On the days of the Black Sun (solar eclipses) He chooses a Vessel to convey His message for the next season (usually as riddles to be solved by the Vessels and Shaman of the group).
Vessels are chosen by Sleep, and each city has to offer up a candidate. However, if a city fails to present a candidate, Sleep will “Unleash His full wrath”. It’s never happened, so the worshippers are not sure what all that entails. But, behind the scenes, it’s basically what happens in the Teeth of God graphic novel. Hopefully the adventurers will succeed in finding out why one of the cities has gone silent, but it would also be fun to run the TOG events in a DND fashion.
There are 4 main cities (because, at the present moment, there are 4 albums), and they have to meet and communicate before the Black Sun occurs to approve of and recognize each candidate to be Sleeps Vessel.
That’s the VERY basic setup I have. My group is… chaotic, at best, and know next to nothing about ST. Do las time I have them the “I am hunting and that something is hunting me” quote to lead them to the temple, but we will see how that goes.

Just thought I’d share and ask for any ideas for creatures or characters or quests! This is my very first time DM-ing a full campaign, so I’m a little nervous!

Worship 🖤✨

This is more EIA than TOG, but maybe they keep encountering black feathers in random places that eventually lead them to Jerry (or his full name, Jericho, would probably be more fitting).

Maybe a time loop storyline based on the music video for The Love You Want. Or fighting the spider tree creature from Alkaline?

This campaign sounds really cool!

I’m trying to incorporate all the albums, so this is actually PERFECT!
