"Decades ago, the Warrens was a warzone, ruled by various criminal organizations vying for power. This period of time would later be known as the Warren Wars; where rampant political corruption and crime had faith in the city's future at an all time low. It seemed the city was doing everything it could to rob the people of the Warrens of any real future, and the response was now impossible to ignore. What everyone was unaware of however, was that this effort was actually being driven by a secretive collective of wealthy families who sought to see the Draugr Court reborn..."
The Coming Storm is a narrative-driven adventure with some cult and espionage themes, and is balanced for a party of Five Tier 2 Adventurers. The plot of this adventure draws heavy inspiration from Batman Begins, specifically the poisoning of the city’s water with an alchemical substance, and the deceiving of the local crime organizations to do so.
Most of the adventure will take place in the city’s sewers at the edge of where Harborfront meets the Arden Floating Market. Most of the adventure will focus on the Player Characters (PCs) contending with the organization known as the Courtiers for the first time, though they will quickly realize who is truly behind this aptly named organization. It will quickly become clear to them that the ‘Courtiers’ are a cheeky name given to this front of a criminal organization, and that the ancient cult known as the Draugr Court has been reborn.
