About the adventure
Campaign: Over the past month, residents of Aesh have been mysteriously abandoning their homes and businesses to walk into the eastern desert, all following the exact same direction. None have returned. When a prominent noble's daughter goes missing, it is feared that she has succumbed to this strange compulsion. You and your party are hired to find and rescue the noble's daughter, potentially following the trail into the shifting sands and discover what ancient power is luring people from the city. Game Focus: Mystery investigation, desert survival, and a race against time. Four-session mini-campaign balancing thorough preparation against the urgency of rescue. Setting: Homebrew world of Everreach, a diverse land of mountainous north, verdant coastlines, and harsh eastern deserts. Aesh is the capital city of the eastern region of Everreach called Owahasis. It stands as a clay-built city at the desert's edge, with colorful markets and ancient libraries where the mysteries of the stars are studied. Owahasis is a region of endless shifting dunes, scattered oases, and crystalline formations that glitter beneath the relentless sun. For players who enjoy: Mystery solving, atmospheric horror, meaningful choices, and a tense balance between thorough preparation and urgent action.
