The Eight Kings (Maze of Zayene, Part 4)

The Eight Kings is a d20 Kalibruhn adventure and is Part 4 of the Maze Of Zayene series. This module concludes the epic series. It is an adventure for 4-6 characters of levels 9-12.

The Eight Kings have fooled the people of Ersille. Not only did King Ovar rule, he ruled eight times over (give or take a court wizard), created anew each day by the Wizard Zayene. He was a complacent king, but set upon evil ways, for his (or was it their?) minds were controlled. You see, the real King Ovar was taken prisoner by Zayene some time ago. And now, instead of wanting Ovar dead, the good people of the Kingdom want the old codger saved! What's a regent to do?

This adventure fully describes a wizard's dimension wherein the assassins turned saviors must adventure to rescue good King Ovar!
