Prince of Beasts (5e)
Against the prevailing whiteness of snow¸ a trail of crimson cuts through the hamlet of Shiverrun¸ nestled against the mountainside south of the Spine of the World. Blood streaks the ground like a road drawn lazily upon a map¸ passing by stone igloos carved from the mountain itself. These dwellings were previously occupied by the unfortunate souls that settled in the fierce cold of northern Faerûn. Now they are all but empty. What endures is the skeleton of a community; the hollow bones of a village ravaged by nightmares much darker than the dead of winter. A stag mauled beyond recognition scrapes across the icy¸ snow-covered ground. A clawed hand clutches its legs¸ hauling it through Shiverrun with terrifying ease. The animal's lifeless form bounces as it is pulled up cold stone steps toward a ruined temple. Windows covered with boards and nails. A roof struggling to resist collapsing under the weight of snow. From the outside¸ the structure resembles yet another hollow bone in a skeleton village. Inside¸ however¸ a den of evil welcomes another sacrifice. A demonic cult thirsts for power in the frigid north. In the Abyss¸ the Prince of Beasts waits patiently. Battle against a savage cult¸ a family of yetis¸ the horrors of an abandoned tower¸ and so much more in this adventure for Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition. Included within are: A full adventure for a party of 5th to 7th-level characters 4-6+ sessions of material the detailed village of Shiverrun 3 magic item descriptions 3 NPC stat blocks 2 encounter maps.
