Rusthenge | Seven Dooms | Runelords | Beginner Friendly

About the adventure

Something ancient stirs beneath the crumbling spires of Rusthenge. When a dying messenger staggers into your peaceful coastal village with his final, rust-tinged breath, he whispers of doom in Iron Harbor, madness, betrayal, and death. As the seas churn and whispers of old Thassilonian rites drift on the wind, you and your companions are drawn into a legacy of sin and sacrifice. The journey will take you through haunted ruins, diseased temples, and forgotten laboratories, all while unraveling the mystery of an evil entity long thought dead—and learning that not all that rusts is lost. This campaign will cover 3 adventure paths that vary in length beginning with the shortest and increasing in length respectively: Rusthenge, Seven Dooms of Sandpoint, and Revenge of the Runelords. 1. Rusthenge Levels 1–4 | The Beginning Coastal mystery, ancient ruins, investigation, dungeon crawling, and the first hints of a much greater evil.

Revenge of the Runelords Levels 12–20 | The Mythic Finale Mythic high-level fantasy, legendary enemies, ancient Runelord magic, world-spanning adventure, and the epic finale of the campaign.
