A Level 3-5 adventure for Shadowdark, OSE, and Cairn
In the Garden of Amuul, the fey raised a palace for their human guests. But the humans betrayed them, so the fey swiftly slayed them. Now Amuul is a Wasteland, where the dead cannot rest.
Twin necromancers, a sister and brother, found the jade palace, and then turned on each other. They raised undead armies and decadent courts, and turned the palace into two warring forts.
And in the Fey Realm, the Twilight Empress watches and rages, sending her goblins and elves to pay the intruders bloody wages.
But all the while, the palace groans with cruel weapons and bright treasures, mythical creatures, and strange magics beyond measure.
So will it be wealth, justice, glory, or bliss that entices you to enter the Lovely Jade Necropolis…?
This adventure was inspired by the poetry and fiction of Clark Ashton Smith, particularly the stories of Zothique and Hyperborea.
