An old merchant lady from the Svellt valley is in distress and asks the heroes for help. Her granddaughter has run away and would rather live the life of an adventuress than inherit the family fortune. What sounds like a simple mission at the beginning soon turns out to be a fairytale adventure that leads the heroes to an old, abandoned dwarven binge where the effects of starfall have created monstrous enemies. But the adventurers encounter not only monsters, but also a still unknown culture.

In recent years, the Southern Sea has increasingly become the focus of expansionist efforts by the great Aventurian empires. But expansion eventually comes up against its natural limits – the lack of space. There are no longer many islands that are safe enough and at the same time unclaimed. Until a few years ago, Spiny Island, an island barely walkable by its landing conditions alone, was not among the potentially lucrative targets. This changed overnight in the course of the Starfall – and the heroes are part of an expedition that is now to explore the island.

The heroes are asked for help by a Praios devotee in Palmyramis, a rural and remote region of Arania. The adventurers initially serve as her escort, protecting her from wild animals and predatory Ferkinas. Soon the group arrives at a mountain village, where the consecrated woman wanted to meet with her mentor in order to spread the faith in Praios among the Aranians. But already at the beginning of their arrival the heroes notice that something is wrong with the village.

All you need to play the game is the Black Eye Rulebookand the Aventurian Almanac. All the other information you need to experience the adventure, such as value boxes, maps and plans, as well as handouts, are included in the volume.
