The Frost Spire
 |
The Legend
Long ago¸ when the world was new an elf king was banished and tossed into the sea. His hatred was so great¸ and so cold¸ that it froze the water into a spire of ice and he was cursed to drift forever¸ bringing winter to the world.
But sometimes¸ he hungers for the blood of bad children.
And on nights¸ when the fog is thick¸ and the ice piles up in jagged sheets upon the shore¸ he sends his wives to steal away crying babies¸ and the kinds of children that fight and do not do as they're told. So beware sweet voices in the fog¸ and stay close to the fire¸ or be carried off howling¸ to The Frost Spire.
The Frost Spire is a winter themed adventure for old school RPGs and players of approximately 3rd level.
Morrigan¸ the 7777th child of the Fairy King of Winter has been tasked with claiming (i.e.¸ kidnapping) children of great innate magical power and sending them to the Winter Court for training in the magical arts.
The adventure can easily be played as a straight dungeon crawl.
However¸ because the Frost Spire is part of the fey realms time moves strangely within it¸ and the dungeon can serve as a way to transition a campaign through time and space. Additionally¸ although Morrigan is kidnapping children¸ if they are left untrained their unchecked magical skills will threaten the very fabric of reality. Because of this¸ the adventure can also be resolved almost completely socially with a focus on grey morality and tough choices.
Physical copies available on the Swordfish Islands Shop.
Contains killer art by Joshua Alvarado and a map by Dyson Logos.
