A Level 5–8 adventure of influence, history, and divided loyalties.
The long hand of the Scholarship of Nesugeia reaches deep into Arkh-Perain.
A strategic territory near Sarmark has become the center of a dangerous dispute. An activist fighting for the rights of the desert communities, a gifted Nesugeian mage, and an aging scribe each claim to know who truly owns the land—and what should be done with it.
Behind their arguments lies a larger question: is Nesugeia plotting to bring Sarmark under its influence, or trying to protect the city from a danger its rulers refuse to see?
The characters are hired for what appears to be a straightforward contract: recover a lost document from the ruins of a dead city. But the document could determine ownership of the contested territory, shift the balance of power around Sarmark, and expose truths that several factions would rather keep buried.
As the investigation unfolds, the party must navigate competing versions of history, political pressure, hidden interests, and people whose motives cannot easily be divided into right and wrong.
Designed for characters of levels 5–8, Shadows of Nesugeia explores another side of Arkh-Perain: disputed borders, forgotten history, foreign influence, and the difficult question of who has the right to decide the future of a land.
Survive the ruins. Find the document. Discover the truth. Then decide who deserves to possess it.
