Adventure Overview

Tomb of the black sun is a Fifth Edition adventure for three to six characters of 7th to 9th level, optimized for a party of four 8th level characters. An old prophecy decrees that the Black Sun, once the Supreme Vicar of the Mesh'tek'haan empire, will rise from his tomb as a Death Sovereign after 5000 years of slumber. Can the party brave the horrors of the Black Sun's tomb to destroy the mummy lord and claim his treasure? This adventure is set in the Marahk desert in the Siothas campaign world but can be easily adapted to fit any game with an ancient tomb in a barren desert.

The Mesh'tek'haan empire was the proudest and most prosperous civilization to ever conquer the wastes of the Marahk desert. At the height of their power, the Mesh'tek'haanis were led by Supreme Vicar Annoub Emon-Rah, a man also known as the Black Sun for his efforts to expand the empire beyond the desert and across the continent of Azesh. Emon-Rah's connection to the gods was said to be so potent that he himself was immortal, a divine vessel for their presence among the mortal races. Upon Emon-Rah's physical death, the royal clergy entombed the body so that it would be prepared for the spirit's eventual return.

Using a powerful ritual that lasted 30 days and 30 nights, the clergy created a spell of such powerful necromancy that it threatened to change the course of history. It was divined that after 5000 years of slumber, Emon-Rah would take back his body and rise as a Death Sovereign poised to continue the glory of the Mesh'tek'haan empire. After Emon-Rah's burial, the empire carried on as all empires do, and over the centuries, fractured to infighting, overexpansion, and natural disaster before eventually disappearing beneath the sands and into annals of history. Now, almost 5000 years later, Emon-Rah's resurrection is at hand. If not stopped, the potential Death Sovereign may raise his people from the sand and lead them towards a new conquest in an unfamiliar world.
