Shadows of the Stringbinder

About the adventure

The lighthouse burns bright— its beacon tearing through the sky, a blue flame of defiance at the edge of a broken world. But light is a call as much as it is a warning. The Stormward Core has been recovered. The last Stormkeeper, Jaelor—Warden of the Gales—has returned from the brink. And with him comes the truth: Maelirion, the Stringbinder’s right hand, led the attack that drowned this coast in shadow. He twisted elemental guardians into monsters and warped sacred ground with anti-magic filth. And now… he knows the light has returned. The war will find you. Already, the corrupted Umbranox elves draw near—deadly echoes of the ancient Aenorian race, now bound to the will of the Stringbinder. Whispers of duergar stir beneath the mountains, their poisoned steel surfacing in ambushes and raids. And something far worse watches from above—vast, circling, and unseen. To survive, the party must gather strength. Allies must be won. Faiths must be tested. And the past must be unearthed. The journey leads east, through the dying forests and into the Scorched Expanse—a sun-blasted wasteland filled with bonefields, desert raiders, and ancient obelisks pulsing with forgotten power. At its heart lies Thal Durim, the mountain home of the Stoneheart Dwarves, long-time enemies of the duergar and masters of rune-carved steel. But will they answer the call? Or close their gates and wait for the end? You are no longer scavengers in the dark. You are a spark in a growing war.
