Birthright: If you love Game of Thrones, You'll Love This Campaign, Want to Be a Ruler? Intrigue, Scheming Shenanigans

About the adventure

“Duke Carilon Alam sat staring at the great table before him. The top of the table was cunningly made to resemble House Alam’s domain and the surrounding lands. Some ancestor of his, he couldn’t recall the name, had commissioned it before the Fall. That was the sad part – for during those days, Alamie had been a great realm, commanding the respect and the fear of its neighbors. Now so little remained.” - Duke Alam, during one of his private silent session in the Chamber of Counsel Welcome to Birthright Shard Wars: Scepter, Crown and Throne. A special campaign with an original plot and twist adding onto the three main adventures for Birthright Sword of Roele, The Sword and Crown and Warlock of the Stonecrowns adventure path. On the border between Anuire and the land of Khinasi, the Three Brother Mages fight an ancient and immortal awnshegh, the Chimera. The game of cat and mouse has recently begun to draw regents from the entire region. Rumors say that the blade of the last Amuirean emperor, the Sword of Roele, has been tracked to the Chimera's domain, the Chimaeron. The fact that the Gorgon's armies are mustering in Kiergard seems to support the rumor. But choosing sides between the Chimera and the Three Brothers is no easy matter. If the Chimera drives the Brothers out, the trade routes through the Chimaeron may be sealed, leaving the seas free for the Khinasi to monopolize trade. If the Brothers drive the Chimera from the magical sources that give her strength, they may establish a beachhead for the Khinasi, who are gobbling up the lands of Anuire just as their own lands were once annexed by the empire long ago. Who will you and your comrades ally yourselves with? Who is the true enemy? Can you recover the Sword of Roele before anyone else does, and lay claim to the Iron Throne? High in the Stonecrown Mountains, a new source of dark magic stirs, wakes, and spreads its wings to shroud the land in shadows. Who is The Warlock of the Stonecrowns, somehow realm magic across the Realms is in strange flux! If that isn't enough, the Warlock threatens to close the only pass connecting the trade-kingdom of Cariele to the rest of Anuire. An army of orogs and ogres is gathering to the Warlock's banner: Are your heroes equal to the challenge of the twisted magic of the Warlock of the Stonecrowns? The Sword and Crown is an event unrivaled in Anuirean politics. Every five years, rulers come from across the land to renew friendships, cement alliances, and provoke their enemies with poisoned words and sharpened swords. Wheels turn within wheels, and plots abound. It's politics as usual in Anuire. Except this conclave is different. Not only is it taking place in the PCs' kingdom, but before the festivities can even commence, someone wages an attack... Additionally using King of the Giantdowns for hexcrawl conquest and building a new kingdom as well as Legends of the Hero-Kings turn ordinary domain actions into opportunities for heroic exploits.
