Synopsis

A chilling wind rises on the moor, blowing at the jagged granite tors and slowly moving the banks of thick grey fog covering the treacherous bogs. Over the last few months, aberrations and crazed animals have been coming out of the moor and harassing the local populous at the much-beloved inn at a vital rest stop along the Viscount’s primary trade route. Long ago a battle was fought against demons in the moors, scattering its peoples to the neighboring lands, a battle no one remembers.

A mega-module, for levels 1 to 4 on the Chronicles of the Celestial Chains Campaign for 5E:

• 200+ Pages
• Commissioned artwork
• Original cartography
• Hard fantasy with real choices having real consequences

Curse of the Lost Memories is the first volume of the Chronicles of the Celestial Chains adventure path. It's hard fantasy—a ruthless environment with successful villains, detailed political setting, and tough consequences for heroes’ mistakes. The player characters have memories that are seemingly not their own—visions of the past that don’t feel like visions, some lingering while others are vanishing as if hiding from something dark. The external threat coming from the local moors is only part of the fight PCs finds themselves in. This isn’t simply a mission for the local Viscount to clean out a moor of monsters but a war for their very identities. They must stand together or perish all.

The module will take characters from level 1 to level 4 and brings them through four narrative acts of a story arc, yielding 10-15 sessions of play.

Curse of the Lost Memories is a uniquely DM-friendly module that encourages role-playing even when players don’t usually do so. The inhabitants of the land the PCs interact with have their motivations for the DM to use or modify; every location mapped carefully to provide a rich background of detail that when the DM starts to wing it, he or she has a solid foundation. The encounters are challenging and impactful, and many will leave players with a sense of accomplishment and sense of heroic wonder that will linger with them until the next play session.

Curse of the Lost Memories and the campaign world is not an MMO on paper with a formulaic progression. It’s table-top RPG with 200+ pages of pure campaign role-playing goodness that walks the fine line of giving the DM directions to take the adventure to its conclusion and support when the adventure goes off the rails. We want to deliver you a high-quality product with encounter maps, area cartography, pre-generated PCs, interior artwork and well-tested encounters in a bold, engaging style.
