About the adventure

Winter Solstice has come to Rybalka. The town—a frontier melting pot of the Vikmordere and Klavek peoples—prepares to ward the coming darkness of winter’s longest night with the Vigil of Light. A palpable sense of dread permeates the droves of people who have come to take part in the ceremony. The air crackles with the sound of fire: the spiritual voice of warriors long dead telling the living stories of their past glories, or so the tradition of the Vikmordere people claims. The soft glow of a thousand candles have been lit to combat the creeping darkness, and in their glow a hymn begins to drift across the town, but darkness always follows the light… A mile below the surface of Aventyr, darkness stirs. From inside the husk of a colossal arachnid, a plot is spun. Along its strands, hungry mouths break the uneasy truce between the dwarves of Embla and the drow of Holoth. Death stalks the underworld, feasting on the souls of the living and the recently dead. Suffering has become the currency used to purchase unimaginable power. Hungry eyes turn to the surface as their long-awaited result seems to be on the brink of fruition. The price, however, has hatched a multitude of discontents. The question is, who will have the fortitude to brave the underworld; who will have guile to deal with the discontent? The darkness consumes, but the flames of Rybalka willing, the light will follow—assuming you can bear its torch!
