Relics of Gods
Forgotten over the passage of time¸ Malar¸ the God of the Hunt¸ and Talona¸ the Goddess of Disease and Poison¸ held an uneasy treaty¸ to combine their powers together to increase their influence on Faerûn. Their highest priests created cursed amulets to spread the evil interests of their dark deities¸ in honour of this alliance. Brutal competition between the evil sects¸ however¸ eventually led to the failure of the alliance and loss of the artifacts. For centuries then¸ the dangers lay dormant. Now¸ there appear to be two unconnected threats in the foothills of the Cloud Peaks Mountains. In Quillford¸ there have been strange animal attacks. Seemingly unrelated¸ there are unexplained areas of poison and disease near the village of Skiepdjip. The trees are turning dark and withering; their leaves covered with a smelly dark slime¸ as they fail. Farmers' fields and livestock are suffering the same fate¸ and the farmers are growing fearful. If this evil is not stopped¸ the region will descend into chaos. Willing heroes are needed urgently to solve the mystery of the animal attacks¸ and start to learn the dark background behind those¸ as well as the unexplained pestilence. Attempting to remove this threat will lead them through the Cloud Peaks Mountains¸ along the Sword Coast¸ and across the sea to the Moonshae Isles. This adventure will take characters from level one through to level 8 (Tier I and II)¸ and includes several new monsters¸ original artwork¸ as well as many new maps¸ for new challenges. There are also several fully detailed side quests. Although the adventure is designed to be run as a full campaign¸ there are detailed modifications included so that it can be run as separate¸ independent¸ partial quests that can be used to enhance any other campaign or adventure.
