Fort Ardraco is an adventure for character levels 1-5 written by the legendary Ed Greenwood. House Ardraco went extinct long ago. Its ruined ancestral home is at the heart of many rumors. Lost in the middle of a dense, grim forest, the fort awaits adventurers who might shed light on its mysteries. The Chronolith is an adventure for characters of levels 1-5, taking place in a valley of the Drakenbergen. The module has been designed to be played autonomously, sandbox-style. Tahenn Pass is a small, anonymous vale, lost in the Drakenbergen. Undertaking an apparently ordinary mission, the adventurers will delve into an ancient ruin containing the mysterious and powerful Chronolith. There, a temporal catastrophe will give the adventurers more than they bargained for and lead them to explore both the geography of this region and its various epochs. The Butterfly’s Dirge is intended for character levels 3-5. The discoveries held within the Drakenbergen may be launching points for an epic, broad campaign, or new journeys. The Bronze d20 has a backwards "1" and a special symbol on the 20 face.
