Shadowmoor is a gloomy reflection of Lorwyn. Conditions are harsh, but despite the darkness and danger, its wilderness brims with life. Perpetual night hangs over the realm; the moon crosses the horizon but never sets. Shadowmoor’s lunar cycle is monthly, reflecting most Material Plane moons. Outside areas are in Dim Light, except during a new moon, when they are in Darkness.
In this encounter, the characters come across the scene of a bandit attack on a merchant’s caravan. The scene, however, is partially staged. The supposed survivors the characters encounter are bandits hoping to trick and capture them.
The road curves around a small, forested hill, presenting a terrible scene. Carts are overturned, crates are smashed, and at least twenty people are dead or wounded. One of the survivors, blood on his face, calls out. “Pelor be praised. Please help us. We were attacked by bandits and left for dead. They took everything.” The truth of what happened here differs from the scene presented. A merchant…

Not only has unease concerning Duke Karll Lorinar’s failing health built over the months of his illness, but recent strange tidings tell of an ancient, evil artifact travelling throughout the countryside and sowing trouble wherever it passes. Worse still, rumor has it that that same artifact has surfaced in the Duchy’s…
Isilu, often considered a symbol of Shadowmoor, is an enormous, dragon-like creature with six legs and wings that trail billowing, void-like plumes. Similar to its Lorwyn counterpart, Eirdu, Isilu avoids interactions with Shadowmoor’s denizens. Those who look carefully might spy Isilu along Shadowmoor’s horizon, its neck rising majestically to showcase a head that looks like a floating moon. Many…
Incubi exploit the vulnerability of mortal dreams. Slipping into the homes of sleepers, incubi feed off dreams and replace them with terrifying nightmares. Incubi visit victims nightly until their prey expires. The incubi then hunt for new victims, preferring the loved ones of past targets. Incubi can transform into succubi and vice versa, taking the forms they need to manipulate foes in dreams…
When the Graveyard Revenant is destroyed, read or paraphrase the following: Lord Governor Hedric Saevil looks at the fallen creature then to you. He says, “That undead calamity came from the government building…maybe even MY OFFICE! I call on you to save anyone left alive inside and clear the building of any abominations you find.” Characters proceed through sections 1B-D as they explore…
