768 Church of the Horned Goddess (D&D 5e + Shadowdark)

Denizens of the Tower! In Church of the Horned Goddess, the characters visit a shrine dedicated to this elusive deity that the goblins worship to this day in small chapels. The characters are here to aid the goblins in retrieving the fabled headpiece of the Horned Goddess or to smuggle it out and sell it to a dwarven museum. In their religion, the unique headpiece cannot be replicated, there exists only one. It has been hidden in this dungeon for over five hundred years.

Brochure Adventure - Iridescent Greed

Denizens of the Tower! Here is one cool goodie, a brochure adventure! Following the same train of thought of the one-page dungeons, these are system-neutral and easy to adapt to any system.

In this adventure, the characters learn of a profitable mining operation that has been stopped after a tragedy occurred. The min...

767 The Forlorn Ziggurat (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 767 The Forlorn Ziggurat. It is necessary to have Photoshop or a compatible app to use it. Inside you will find that it is all white. That is the uppermost layer, I only use it to make the file preview smaller in size. Once you remove that uppermost layer you'll see the illustration. (it's just one click)

767 The Forlorn Ziggurat - D&D 5e + Shadowdark

Denizens of the Tower! In the deepest reaches of the dwarven kingdom, Ghin Faradum, there lies an ancient, cyclopean construction built by the extinct goblin civilization of yore. This pyramid-shaped edifice is dedicated to warding off an evil entity known as the Poisonous Deity. The goblins learned that this extraplanar being required a flesh tribute to inhabit in the Material Plane. Without it, the Poisonous Deity grows restless and dangerous. 3 years ago, a human expedition visited the pla...

766 The Velvet Garrison (D&D 5e + Shadowdark)

Denizens of the Tower! In the Velvet Garrison, the characters visit a dwarven settlement that has been subjected to the rage of a splinter group of goblin rebels. The goblins, led by Tudko, have taken the town's fortified manor and the seat of the local government in a violent coup that has left the regent and some politicians without the only fortified edifice in town. Worse even is the fact that some dwarves became hostages during the takeover and the rest of the town fears stormin...

765 Topaz Beach (D&D 5e + Shadowdark)

Denizens of the Tower! In Topaz Beach, the characters find the second largest dwarven settlement in Ghin Faradum. It is ruled by Lady Mirabel Silverstream, under her leadership, the relationship between dwarves and goblins has evolved to a new model that erases some of the distance created by the subservient nature of the goblins' position. In many ways, but not all, goblins are almost equal to dwarves. This is the reason why there have been no sabotage attacks or open revolts in this settlem...

763 Faradak (D&D 5e + Shadowdark)

Denizens of the Tower! The characters encounter their first taste of the great divide of ancestries in the capital of Faradak. Dwarves flounder in the streets covered in fine silks and pricy gemstones while their goblin servants struggle to keep up carrying their burdens. The dwarves' greed has brought out the worst of them in the mining sites where goblins waste away doing hard work trying to pay off generational debts that do not seem to diminish at all.

In Faradak, the characters mee...
