Guide to this adventure:
Character Studies provide a much deeper insight to a NPC, their beliefs, desires and
sometimes special abilities or RPing options. This section should at least be read once
before playing the module.

Regular text can be read to the party at the DM’s Discretion if warranted

 This text is NPC driven, the DM choses how or if it is delivered.

This text is for the DM’s eyes only to provide additional information to aid in creating the
stories.

***Encounter experience is to be added depending on party size and difficulty of the

encounter.
Due to the nonlinear nature of the story and also varying levels of actual content
completion, the earnest is placed upon the dungeon master to provide a suitable challenge
and appropriate party experience***

Art & Cover’s: Bree Martignago

Editing, Proofing and Continuity Collaborators:

As always, WotC with the core rule books and various lore and story I use to help flesh
out the realm of Faerun. Particularly the Neverwinter Campaign Setting (4e) has been of
enormous assistance with this module.

Attention DM: These modules are created in a way as to act as a framework for the story. Not all NPC’s and
story diversions have been considered. In the spirit of trying not to railroad the party, please feel free to improvise or
alter any component to suit the direction of the party. Some continuity issues may exist between the modules, as much
as I have aimed to mitigate this, I can only edit or alter them as I find them. Some situations bought up in these modules
are unrelated to the current story arc, these are to be devices in which to lay the ground work for future adventures and
campaigns. Additionally due to the scope of this adventure arc, some situations will require some improvisation, these are
mainly roleplaying situations, but on your prerogative may include combat also.

If you have any questions or comments please contact me at exsisto87@gmail.com
