Rise of the Runelords

R
Ryvian

Varisia is a land of ancient ruins. It hides secrets of Thassilon.


Author's Note: The town of Sandpoint welcomes you with open arms—a place of quiet beauty, seaside charm, and a fresh start. But beneath its peaceful surface lies a hidden past. Forgotten ruins dot the countryside. Old tales speak of lost empires and forbidden magics. And recently, subtle signs suggest something is beginning to stir. From mysterious happenings in remote corners of the world to whispers of long-buried evils, fate is weaving your path into something far greater than you imagined. What begins as a simple journey will become a battle against the legacy of an empire whose sins still linger—twisting the world in unseen ways. Rise of the Runelords is a sweeping fantasy epic where ancient secrets rise to the surface, unlikely heroes are forged in fire, and the echoes of the past demand reckoning. Adventure awaits. The world is changing. Will you rise to meet it?

Description

A flight of spiral stairs winds up around a circular pillar into darkness above. These stairs once led up to a small vault on the surface, but when Thassilon fell, that structure collapsed. If the PCs somehow manage to dig their way up through the 30 feet of rock between the top of the stairs and the surface, they find themselves emerging in an alley in the cluster of buildings between Tower Street and Junker’s Way. Narrow fissures remain in the stone, helping to keep (relatively) fresh air in the catacombs, and providing a route for Erylium’s familiar to come and go.
