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

Catacombs of Wrath An ancient Thassilonian ruin buried beneath Sandpoint, the Catacombs of Wrath were once part of a Runewell, a magical reservoir that fueled sins of wrath for the Runelord Alaznist. The underground complex, discovered through tunnels in the Sandpoint Glassworks, contains twisted architecture, eerie carvings, and remnants of dark magic. In Rise of the Runelords, the party finds the corrupting influence of Lamashtu at work, awakening sinspawn, grotesque creations of Thassilonian wrath magic. Within, they encounter Erylium, a former human priestess turned quasit demon, who oversees the Runewell of Wrath—a still-active font of Thassilonian rage magic. The Catacombs’ discovery confirms that Sandpoint sits atop ancient, forgotten power, and its influence has begun stirring darker forces, including Nualia Tobyn’s transformation. Destroying the Runewell weakens her plans, but also hints at greater threats to come.
