Cinderwake Vol. 1: The Drifting Crown of the Old King

Publisher blurb: A ready-to-run, 72-page Shadowdark hexcrawl for level 1–3 characters. The skull of Nabuchdzar, ancient king of Hakkadi, has been stolen from his tomb. He will not stop talking about it. Carry his chattering skull across Adytum Isle. Survive the Dire Steppe, press through the rot-blackened trees of Fowlhaven Forest, and cross the Starblight Barrens, where something fell from the heavens long ago. Reach the Ancient Ziggurat, uncover what the curse is protecting, and decide whether the truth is worth the cost. Rooted in Eurasian and Near Eastern folklore, Cinderwake Vol. 1: The Drifting Crown of the Old King can be run as a complete island campaign or broken apart for your own OSR game. Inside the book: • 20+ keyed locations across four regions • Two new classes: the spirit-bargaining Akkam and the iron-blessed Tarkan • Anima Magic and a full spell list • Random encounters, rumors, rewards, monsters, NPCs, and enchanted relics • A multi-floor ancient ziggurat and a complete campaign adventure All text and art were created by people. No generative AI was used in the creative process.
