D&D Story: How Dare You Fight The Boss I Railroaded You To!

So, let’s start with some context. This was a homebrewed campaign. Our DM for this campaign created an entire world that was very rich and full of lore. The reason for this is that she was writing a book set in this universe. I thought wow, that’s really cool. Making your own world is hard, I’m excited to play!
Our cast of characters for this campaign:
Tiefling Artificer, played by me. A shifter Wizard and a Cat Girl Paladin (this was a homebrew race specific to the campaign).
