About the adventure

Welcome to Phandalin, a rough-and-tumble frontier town nestled in the foothills of the Sword Mountains. Built on the ruins of a much older settlement, rumors of buried riches and untapped ore veins have attracted centuries of treasure seekers and opportunists to the region who have had little luck in striking it rich. In the past few years these rumors have started up again, centered on the Rockseeker brothers who claim to have discovered an old family stronghold and mine in the mountain; lost and forgotten after the attack that destroyed the original Phandalin settlement. Such rumors always seem to bring their share of trouble, this time in the form of a band of scoundrels calling themselves the Redbrands. In the absence of any local lord or authority, the ruffians have run roughshod over the town. To compound matters, there are rumors of multiple dragons moving into the region. One dragon would be bad enough but more means territorial war with cities caught in the middle, with little in the way to defend themselves as others monsters are displaced from their lairs and nests. An adventurer will require good planning, quick thinking, and no small amount of luck to see themselves through this gauntlet of troubles, but great rewards await those cunning or heroic enough to survive!
