Monstrous Arcana: A Darkness Gathering
Something is very wrong in Stormport: Corruption runs rampant among city officials¸ more and more people turn up missing every day¸ dark prophesies of Change convert new believers¸ and rumors persist of a demonic beast with a taste for human flesh that stalks the alleyways. Worse yet¸ spring is overdue; winter refuses to relinquish its icy grip.
Only one vile force could cause such chaos: The Illithids have risen up once again¸ ready to enslave the surface races. Now¸ as never before¸ the world needs great heroes¸ mighty adventurers who will challenge the illithids dark agendas.
A Darkness Gathering is the first of an adventure trilogy (continuing with Masters of Eternal Night and concluding in Dawn of the Overmind) that pits brave adventurers against the brain-eating mind flayers. Dungeon Masters can run each individual adventure of the trilogy seperately¸ or they can be linked together to form a seamless¸ epic-length adventure.
