The Opening

“High Druid Vaelen extends a withered hand toward a map of the untamed forest. 'The Heart of the Verdant Crown is lost within the sunken temple,' he whispers. 'Without it, this forest will wither before the seasons turn.'”

— Hook · retrieve

Set the Scene

The party stands at the edge of the Briarwood, where the vibrant green of the outer woods gives way to gnarled, blackened trunks and a heavy, unnatural mist.

High Druid Vaelen

Vaelen approaches the party with a sense of desperate urgency, coughing frequently and leaning on a gnarled wooden staff.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The ancient Sunken Temple was built to hide something dangerous, not something holy.
  2. 02
    High Druid Vaelen hasn't been seen in the daylight for nearly a month.
  3. 03
    The forest animals have stopped making noise near the center of the woods.
Stakes

If the artifact is delivered to Vaelen, the forest will become a death trap for all nearby settlements. If it remains, the blight (actually the seal breaking) will slowly spread.

Ticking Clock·Every dawn that passes, the 'blight' spreads further, and Vaelen sends more of his fanatic followers into the woods to find the party.

Background Lore

The Sanctum of the Silver Moon was built by an ancient wood elf sect to contain the essence of a primeval nature spirit that became corrupted centuries ago.

What the World Knows

The forest is suffering from a mysterious blight, and the ancient religious artifact known as the Heart of the Verdant Crown is the only source of pure magic capable of cleansing the land.
