Book One, Prelude
Empty Mansion
00
The prelude chapter of the Blackengorge Saga starts with the heroes joining together at an
abandoned mansion outside of the city of Deepingwald on The Islands. Finding a gang of bandits
and defeating them leads to great adventure as they are asked to set sail on The Guiding Fire
as she heads back to the Old Continent and the settlement of Blackengorge.
However, the voyage is cut short as a band of goblinoid pirates attack the ship and a gargantuan sea
beast, the kraken, crushes the ship into splinters. The heroes are cast into the sea and to certain
doom, but with luck, and perhaps small divine guidance, they somehow are rescued, found in a bobbing
rowboat within the bay of Blackengorge.

Book One, Chapter One
Into the Shadowhaunt
01
The first chapter sees our intrepid heroes act on behalf of the Blackengorge Town Council,
searching for and finding two lost sons of the town in a nearby mausoleum. This mausoleum, and
the secret chambers beneath, have been populated by a mad half-elf, called Helvec, who seeks
to sacrifice the two boys for his own nefarious ends.
Through strength, wits, and magic the group stop the villain's plans and return as heroes to
the small town, the boys safely rescued. Some lore of the world they now live in is found, but
further mysteries deepen.
