Chult: Tomb of Annihilation

About the adventure

In Baldur’s Gate, Syndra Silvane sits at her manor’s second story window looking out onto the fog shrouded streets below from behind her silver mask. It hides features rotting from the death curse that started affecting anyone raised, no matter how long ago. Twenty days ago—that’s when it started. Since then, everyone brought back from the dead began to waste away. The sages of Candlekeep whisper that their souls are being stolen, one by one. The clerics of Toril have no help to offer. The cloying stench of her own returning death fills the room, overpowering the aroma of the wine she has laid out for the guests she is expecting. In the bustling hum of Nyanzaru’s markets, tabaxi minstrels performing for spare coins weave through crowds of Chultans as merchants from Amn look to trade their nation’s ales, silks and carpets purchased from Calimport, or books from Candlekeep for Lantana smokepowder, Chultan hardwoods, and archeological marvels from deep within Chult’s ghoul infested mainland. Trees sway to a muggy breeze and insects hum in the moist air as a Tyrannosaurus’s roar can be heard echoing from the pens in Tiryki Anchorage—a storm is coming, but little does the city realize its deluge will bear far worse than tropical winds and rain. “All paths lead to Chult, a mysterious land of volcanoes, jungles, and the ruins of fallen kingdoms. Below them all awaits a deadly tomb. The trap is set. Will you take the bait?” –Tomb of Annihilation (2017) Looking to enjoy a gritty fantasy adventure set in the untamed tropical wilderness of Chult from the Forgotten Realms?
