About the adventure

Intro to Candela Obscura. In the heart of Mazalan, nestled among the rolling hills and dense jungles, lies the once-prosperous Hacienda Las Brisas. Rumored to be cursed, the land and all who toil there are said to fall victim to a malevolent force that saps their will and drains their very souls. The hacienda, once a beacon of wealth and power, now stands as a desolate reminder of an ancient evil that has taken root. A group of unsuspecting investigators, each drawn by different motives are brought together by fate and circumstance. As they delve deeper into the secrets of Hacienda Las Brisas, they uncover a tapestry of betrayal, forbidden love, and blood rituals that bind the curse to the land. Their journey takes them through hauntingly beautiful yet treacherous terrain, from the crumbling manor house filled with ghostly whispers to the labyrinthine catacombs beneath the estate. With time running out and the curse tightening its grip, the investigators must navigate a web of ancient prophecies, confront spectral apparitions, and survive the sinister forces that haunt the hacienda. Their quest to lift the curse becomes a race against the clock, where their wits, courage, and faith will be tested to the breaking point. In the Hacienda of Sorrow, the line between myth and reality blurs, and the true horror of the curse is revealed. Can these brave souls unravel the mysteries and lift the curse before it consumes them all, or will they become the next victims of the haunted land's eternal darkness? **Note: Mazalan is a homebrew setting of CO that is inspired by 1800s Colonial Mexico.
