About the adventure

🕷️ Beneath the earth, the drow are rising. 🌑 While a festival of light dazzles the surface, a drow matron seals a pact in blood — a deal that demands sacrifices beyond imagination. When a sacred artifact vanishes and hundreds are taken as slaves, all trails lead downward… In the shadows of Embla and the halls of Holoth, a dark war brews. Drow houses vie for control. Allies turn. Secrets rot. And something ancient stirs in the deep. Your choices shape the fate of both worlds — if you can survive the descent. This campaign is designed with a higher-than-usual difficulty level and is best suited for players with an intermediate to advanced understanding of D&D. Building an effective and well-balanced character is essential, as success will depend on your ability to wisely manage the resources provided—such as magical items, consumables, and limited rests. ✅ What You’ll Get: Deep narrative and immersive roleplay Strategic combat with layered challenges A living world that reacts to your actions Support from an experienced DM who rewards clever thinking
