Shards of the Gods
by Marcel Blex, Sebastian Kreppel, Thorsten Most, Christian Nehling and David Schmidt
The heaven of the gods is in turmoil! A sinister magician is seeking to utilise an ancient secret linking Hesinde, Nandus and the archdemon Amazeroth for an unprecedented ritual that would shatter creation. His minions are travelling to the remotest corners of Aventuria to gather the strangest paraphernalia – can the heroes track down the sinister mage and stop him?

Sounds of lamentation resound in the otherwise tranquil Salza by the Sea of the Seven Winds. An eerie phenomenon that plagued the town back in the days of the demon master Borbarad is once again keeping the inhabitants on tenterhooks. The heroes are faced with the task of finding the cause of a musical plague before their rivals can finalise their plan.

Mirror, mirror… on the walls are many in Luring, for the town is home to a proud guild of mirror makers. But not everything here is as it seems. A Hesinde consecrated woman urgently needs the help of the heroes. Can they prevent something from breaking – or will the shards even bring them luck?

The Immortals’ Ungifts are part of a dark prophecy by the prophet Nostria Thamos. When the heroes at the University of Al’Anfa become entangled in a web of intrigue, the prediction suddenly becomes dramatically relevant. Between smoky student pubs, stuffy libraries and ornate professors’ rooms, they must immerse themselves in academic life in order to solve an ancient mystery and catch a glimpse of the future.
The adventures in the anthology Shards of the Gods tell a cross-adventure story. You can experience all three individually as usual. However, an additional plot framework and further scenarios also make it possible to play them as a coherent campaign.
