Cradle of the World 1: Into the Desert (5e)
An Adventure for 4 - 6 players¸ 1 st - 2 nd Level Long ago¸ the cataclysm was averted and the world saved. Capitalizing upon their victory¸ the forces of Good united to prevent any future destruction. The war against evil places¸ races¸ and cults was successful. Not a single dungeon¸ grotto¸ or abandoned temple remained with the taint of corruption. That was centuries ago. In the years since¸ the peaceful good and neutral races have prospered and settled into predictable mundanity. There is no need for adventurers anymore; why would there be? For the adventurous soul¸ the peace is stifling. You have always dreamed of adventure¸ glory¸ tragedy¸ and something…different. But maybe all is not lost to tedium; adventure has come knocking in the form of an eccentric Tabaxi trader. Will you open the door? NOTE: Into the Desert is intended as an introductory campaign for those who are new to Dungeons and Dragons 5 th Edition. As such it includes a lot of skill checks¸ as a method of introducing these concepts. If your players are more experienced¸ feel free to amplify¸ complicate¸ or alter the encounters to suit their expectations. Some players do not like their hands being held.
