Original campaign

The Neverwinter Nights Original Campaign is the official campaign that was shipped with the original release of Neverwinter Nights. Through this campaign, the player takes on the character of a hero of Neverwinter, questing to rid the city of the Wailing Death.

Prologue
The game begins in the Senior Training Barracks of the Neverwinter Academy, in the city of Neverwinter. When you leave your room, you will speak with Pavel, who will introduce some of the backstory of the game, and ask you to speak with Bim, his brother, who will give you a brief tutorial on gameplay. In the next room you meet Olgerd, who provides a tutorial on inventory and stores, and then Berna in the next room with a tutorial on maps. After that, you enter a room with four training rooms, for combat, taught by Herban, arcane magic, taught by, divine magic, taught by Elynwyd, and rogue skills, under the instruction of Ketta. You should go to whichever training room is appropriate for your class. After completing the appropriate trial for your class, you go into the main hall, and meet Lady Aribeth de Tylmarand, a paladin who will congratulate you on graduating from the Academy. During your conversation with Aribeth, the Academy is attacked by a group of mages, who unleash a contingent of goblins to attack you. After the initial attack is repelled, Aribeth will want to speak with you, and ask you to help protect the Waterdhavian creatures, located in the stables elsewhere in the Academy. She will give you a key that you can use to unlock the barred door in the training hallway. You will fight your way through the rest of the Academy, encountering goblins, skeletons, and an occasional mage. You will also meet up with Pavel again, who will explain that his brother Bim was killed in the attack. He will offer to join you as a henchman. Soon you will find a room with an old man in it who will give you enough experience points to level up, and explain the leveling up process to you.

Henchmen
There are six henchmen available to aid the player throughout this campaign.

The henchmen have stories about themselves and their history. Each henchman tells a different tale in each chapter, each story culminating in the desire to obtain some item.
