The Opening

“The coastal town of Oakhaven has gone silent, its inhabitants replaced by terrified statues. A lone survivor begs for your aid, clutching a map to a forgotten temple in the cliffs. The tide is rising, and soon the temple will be unreachable.”

— Hook · Investigation and Dungeon Crawl

Set the Scene

The party stands at the edge of Oakhaven, where the salt spray of the Azure Sea meets an eerie, unnatural silence. The only movement comes from a young woman named Elara, who collapses at your feet, her hands stained with stone dust.

Elara approaches with a frantic, trembling energy. Her clothes are soaked in seawater and her voice is a raspy whisper as she begs for the party to save her sister before the next high tide.

Background Lore

Centuries ago, the Temple of Mar-Xul was a site of pilgrimage for those seeking vision. It was sealed when the priests accidentally summoned a creature from the Far Realm. Recently, an earthquake breached the seal, allowing the creature’s influence to seep into the local water supply.

What the World Knows
