The Old Blood

An Investigative Adventure in the Tradition of Classic Modules for Shadowdark Levels 1-2

In the shadow of Edric von Braech’s ruined keep, Brannam rots. Once filled with life and vibrance, not remains but silence and decay. Its peoples diminished, its streets overgrown, the legacy of its dark history casts long shadows over the dead city. It is said that the people rose up against their oppressor generations ago and put his keep to the torch, Yet generations have passed and the city does not grow. It does not heal. Brannam lies like a corpse in a coffin buried under the weight of its history.

Overview

Set in the decaying city of Brannam, players unravel a web of fear, blood, and buried secrets. A local alchemist has begun killing in secret, rekindling old fears of an old terror. The city’s decline threatens to spiral into collapse, and far below, something older and hungrier waits to wake.
