I’ve recently released a new first-tier adventure on Dungeon Masters Guild, and will be releasing it soon as a print release on Amazon (stay tuned for news on that!)
Winter Hearts takes place near Mourningbridge, the same community I built for The Crypt of the Four, for those of you keeping track. If you can’t tell by the name, this adventure takes place during the winter.
In winter hearts, your adventurers can investigate the disappearance of a family on their way to Mourningbridge who were seemingly attacked and taken. An ancient elven keep that sits in ruins nearby is the likely location.
Some say the keep is haunted; of late, there have been strange lights seen in the upper reaches of the keep, and even stranger things heard.
Here is the teaser for Winter Hearts:
In the dead of winter, an ancient elven keep lies in ruin, its walls besieged by gnolls driven mad by visions of a sacred child hidden within. Inside, an elven couple guards their newborn, while a desperate human family lies captive beneath their feet.
As hunger, bloodlust, and divine prophecy converge, the walls wonāt hold for long… and what waits below hungers for more than just flesh.
Break the siege, save the innocent, and cleanse the desecrated magic of the Bleeding Watch –Ā before winterās heart devours you…
Before you go any further, read this!!!
This story contains themes of imprisonment, childbirth under duress, starvation, siege warfare, religious zealotry, torture, and threats to families.
Readers may also encounter unsettling depictions of predatory violence, emotional manipulation, gnoll rituals, and moral dilemmas involving desperate survival. Please proceed with caution if you are sensitive to these themes.
For some of you, this is exactly why you have purchased this adventure. For othersā¦
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Check it out at the DMs Guild!
