About the adventure
A rare celestial event draws you to a remote island—one of the last remnants of lost Azlant. Hired as research assistants, you expect discovery, ancient secrets, and perhaps a touch of danger. Instead, the sky itself fractures. A towering column of shadow erupts from the sea, swallowing the sun and unleashing creatures of darkness across the island. As you struggle to survive and uncover the source of this unnatural phenomenon, you’ll descend into the ruins of a forgotten Azlanti prison—now home to a cunning enclave of vampires. There, you’ll uncover a terrifying truth: the shadow was only a test. An ancient vampire mastermind seeks to plunge the world into eternal dusk using long-lost magical technology, freeing their kind from the tyranny of sunlight. This game blends mystery, exploration, and high-stakes horror with moments of heroic action. Expect eerie environments, dangerous combat, and uncovering secrets buried since before Earthfall. Ideal for players who enjoy dark fantasy, investigation, grotesque combat, and being the heroes at the end of the day.

Been a DM for my friends for over 6 years then for the local university and library I made several groups and hosted there. I played a lot of different systems from pathfinder both editions, to DND, to Warhammer fantasy, rogue trader, and chutulu pulp fiction. I am currently studying in the IT sector and translate that knowledge to help out people with tech issues.
