Abolish an ancient evil threatening devastation in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game!

Called by the Elder Elemental Eye to serve, four corrupt prophets have risen from the depths of anonymity to claim mighty weapons with direct links to the power of the elemental princes. Each of these prophets has assembled a cadre of cultists and creatures to serve them in the construction of four elemental temples of lethal design. It is up to adventurers from heroic factions such as the Emerald Enclave and the Order of the Gauntlet to discover where the true power of each prophet lay, and dismantle it before it comes boiling up to obliterate the Realms.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 1 - Introducing the Setting

AC 1000 (Level 1)

I have broken down the adventures into the following bits for the first year of the campaign. When characters reach the area of Red Larch they are asked to look into the issues they are having with a necromancer in the region.

Trouble in Red Larch (page 148-153) - Bears and Bows, Haunted Tomb, Bloody Treasure, The Last Laugh, Lance Rock – with the necromancers cave, Lord of Lance Rock, With Rumours of – Cult of the Feathergale Knights.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 1 - Introducing the Setting

AC 1001 (Level 2)

When the characters reach second level and return to the region or Red Larch they are asked to look into an excavation under the town. This leads to the Tomb of Moving Stones (2nd) (pota153) see Relic Hunter – Tomb of Moving Stones.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 1 - Introducing the Setting

AC 1002 (Level 3)

For characters who are looking to settle and connect with the region of Red Larch, New Management (3rd) (pota160 see Business – Bargewright Inn) makes a good link to settling into the region more long term.

A location of interest that can be investigated is the Feathergale Spire (3rd) (pota46 see Cult of the Feathergale Knights) which was available as rumours over the previous two years. They have set up shop in the Red Larch region of Vestaland and start recruiting followers. They are known for their skills with elemental air and darkness.

The Missing Delegation (3rd) (pota40 see Mystery of the Missing Delegation) is intended for use as an investigation piece to get character into the area to investigate for various organisations that want to know why this group went missing.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 1 - Introducing the Setting

AC 1003 (Level 4)

This is another location that becomes the centre of one of the elemental bending groups. Riverguard Keep (4th) (pota52 see Cult of the Riverguard Keep). They are known for their skills with elemental water and darkness.

Due to an unknown reason the Iceshield Orcs (4th) (pota163 see Mystery of the Iceshield Orcs) are migrating out of their traditional lands.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 1 - Introducing the Setting

AC 1004 (Level 5)

Introducing the masters of Earth and Darkness at the Sacred Stone Monastery (5th) (pota59 see Cult of the Sacred Stone)

Library - GM Notes - Phase 2 - Rheddrians Investigation Bureau

AC 1005 (Level 6)

The founding of a location to the beliefs of the elemental manipulation of Fire and Darkness Scarlet Moon Hall (6th) (pota69 see Cult of the Scarlet Moon). They begin recruiting people specialising in elemental earth.

Temple of Howling Hatred (6th) (pota78 see Cult of the Howling Hated) is gaining momentum and starting to produce devastation orbs of air until it is shut down.

Curse of the Fire Witch (6th) (pota167 see Mystery of the Fire Witches) is about notification on evil fire benders trying to muscle into the region.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 2 - Rheddrians Investigation Bureau

AC 1006 (Level 7)

Temple of the Crushing Waves (7th) (pota84 see Cult of the Crashing Waves) is gaining momentum and starting to produce devastation orbs of water until it is shut down.

Another adventure that is sourced from outside, this is where a community of Dwarves want to find out what happened to one of their group of pilgrims with Vale of Dancing Waters (8th) (pota172 see Mystery of the Dwarves)

Temple of the Black Earth (8th) (pota95 see Cult of the Black Earth) is gaining momentum and start to produce devastation orbs of earth until shut down.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 2 - Rheddrians Investigation Bureau

AC 1008 (Level 9)

With a dangerous sounding magical item up for sale in the region of Vestland, this is another way to bring characters to the region for Dark Dealings in Yartar (9th) (pota175 see Item Sale Devastation Orb)

Temple of Eternal Flame (9th) (pota103 see Cult of the Eternal Flame) is gaining momentum and start to produce devastation orbs of earth until shut down.

Library - GM Notes - Phase 3 - The War Begins

AC 1010 (Level 11)

With the Wrath of the Immortals having a central theme of war, this part of the adventure was moved up one level to 11th for The Fane of the Eye (10th) (pota115 see War of the Elemental Evils – Part One)

Much like a few of the other adventures, this becomes a way for bringing characters into the region on behalf of the dwarves, maybe as a way to get them to support their faction with Halls of the Hunting Axe (11th) (pota180 see Relic Hunter – Orcsplitter)

Library - GM Notes - Phase 3 - The War Begins
