Gravelands Survivors

The first adventure in this anthology, “Gravelands Survivors,” is a survival-horror story for 1st-level PCs. The adventure follows the characters as they emerge from the crypt in which they took shelter during Tar‑Baphon’s destruction of Lastwall, nearly six years prior. The survivors carry with them one of the Bloodstones of Arazni, which a secretive faction within the church of Iomedae, the Crimson Keepers, had also hidden in the crypt. It’s up to the PCs to guide their fellow survivors through the Gravelands until they reach a new haven for themselves and the Bloodstone.

Ashes for Ozem

In “Ashes for Ozem,” players take on the roles of Whispering Way agents assembled by Seldeg Bhedlis to infiltrate Fort Ozem, where the graveknight believes another artifact, the Chalice of Ozem, has been secured. Though the fort is purportedly abandoned, Seldeg has recently learned that the “ruins” are being used as a base of operations by the Chernasardo Rangers and their allies, the church of Iomedae and the Knights of Lastwall. Designed for 7th-level PCs, “Ashes for Ozem” gives players the opportunity to create characters whose motivations are evil—or at least morally ambiguous.

Of Blood and Faith

The anthology’s final adventure, “Of Blood and Faith,” follows a group of 18th-level characters as they work to interrupt Seldeg Bhedlis’s ritual and put an end to the graveknight’s machinations forever. After an uptick in undead activity throughout the Gravelands, the Knights of Lastwall call upon the heroes to investigate. The PCs quickly discover that Seldeg plans to use the Bloodstones of Arazni to switch the fates of Arazni and Iomedae. Should Seldeg succeed, his ritual will rewrite history—though perhaps not in the way the graveknight intends.
