Lost Menagerie (Swords and Wizardry)
 |
They say favors make the world go around¸ and it's true of the planes of existence beyond material reality as well. In the distant past¸ the great wizard Arfaleo the Seeker claimed favors from four mighty elemental lords to create a self-contained world. The wizard populated his microcosm with strange creatures¸ to monitor what changes might occur to them over time¸ even bringing a small settlement of humans into the interplanar cavern. Eventually¸ though¸ the wizard's interest in his experiment waned and he moved on¸ leaving behind the bizarre anomaly he had created.
Since this time¸ the microcosm has changed in many ways¸ for it did not remain isolated from other planes of existence. New creatures have made their way into the wizard's carefully-maintained experiment¸ and - there is no other way to say it - things have gone very wrong.
Lost Menagerie is a challenging adventure for characters of 7th to 9th level.
Characters exploring the Lost Menagerie of Arfaelo will find bizarre and unusual challenges in this adventure written by Mike Mearles¸ the designer of Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons.
