Adventure Background:

Centuries ago, the nomadic Elves founded the small fishing settlement of Myristat on the banks of the river Roskem. Over the years, the town grew, stretching toward the murky expanse of Roskem Swamp. But something dark has awakened in the swamp. A week ago, the captain of the guard and several of his men vanished without a trace. Then, just two days ago, a couple living on the outskirts of town disappeared as well. Fear is beginning to grip the town, but the mayor is determined to keep the locals calm—so he turns to outsiders for help.

Now, the fate of Myristat rests in your hands. Will your party uncover the dark truth hidden deep within the swamp, or will the ancient evil lurking in Roskem consume the town—and perhaps, the world?
