About the adventure

Have you played through nearly every official module? Does the predictable conclusion of a story drain the thrill for you? Is a linear narrative wearing you down? Do you yearn to explore unknown realms? If you nodded yes to at least two of these questions, this campaign is your perfect match! In the Lands of Arda, during the 4th era, destiny weaves together a group of individuals in the secluded village of Owlreach. One fateful night at the circus, amidst the flickering torches and vibrant banners, your life takes an unexpected turn. A disheveled magician steps onto the stage, promising a simple trick—transforming a few volunteers temporarily into frogs. To your astonishment, you are chosen alongside others from the audience. The applause and cheers of the crowd, oblivious to the impending change, leave you no choice but to accept the invitation. As you stand on stage, the magician's flourish and grandiose words attempt to captivate the audience. One by one, your fellow volunteers are transformed into frogs, and then it’s your turn. A cloud of smoke engulfs you. Darkness envelops your vision... and your life will never be the same.
