The Vault Opens
Even as monuments of other ages crumble to ruin and people of antiquity fade from history¸ their achievements and failures disappearing from memory¸ the relics of the past somehow survive. A sword stands embedded in the stone into which it was thrust; a golden ring lies forgotten in some dank cavern; while a cloak¸ as new as the day it was made¸ swaddles the moldering remains of an infamous villain. The great magic residing inside these treasures preserves them against time and violence¸ ensuring they can survive throughout the ages to be found¸ used¸ and lost again. Relics are the most powerful items in existence¸ artifacts of lasting power that can effect tremendous change. The Vault Opens kicks off a new line of supplements for Shadow of the Demon Lord that describe a variety of new relics for player characters to find¸ interact with¸ and perhaps seek to destroy. This supplement reveals details on four new relics: the Apotheosis Engine¸ the Sky Maiden's Mantle¸ the Journal of Doctor Festring¸ and the legendary Staff of Ys. Whether the characters use them or destroy them¸ their inclusion in your campaign could change the world!
