Hey everyone!

This is another collaboration project with the talented folks over at Elven Tower. Similarly to last time, they have put together this adventure module based on some of my battlemaps. These ones are from the Samarahd series, so this adventure is ideal for a Desert setting.

Adventure Overview

Pirates, sailors, and all people that live near the oceans or large bodies of water share one thing in common: they all respect the sea, the rivers, lagoons, and lakes. They understand how dangerous they can be and that one must be respectful of the ancient gods of the water. For the elements are never your friend, they are always neutral. However, there is another kind of sea that frightens even the most experienced of heroes. A sea with no water, hundreds of waves but no foam. The sea of sand.

In Blood on the Sand, the characters travel to the largest desert in the territories, the Dry Sea. They are part of a camel rally held in Royal Camels' Arena. The event is interrupted at the worst time and the heroes must intervene to avoid a catastrophe. Members of a nomad tribe claim a former brother of their clan is behind this, and they beg the heroes to fulfill their fate written in the stars, travel to the Valley of Tombs, and save the Dry Sea.

This is an adventure that brings the heroes to a large desert. They shall participate in a race, meet a nomadic tribe, experience a rite of passage, and defeat a nomadic shaman gone rogue. This adventure is full of thrilling meetings and encounters. It shall certainly have the heroes' pockets filled with sand!
