Malady of Kings (S2) (d20)
Gods are moved by greater things than mortal man.
Lonely upon his gilded chair St. Luther¸ god of Aihrde¸ Lord of Dreams¸ King Palatine of Kayomar¸ father¸ and husband¸ sits in restless slumber. He dreams of times long forgotten and people long passed from the world. He knows not that he slumbers¸ nor that he dreams. He sits¸ dreaming forgotten dreams¸ stalking the corridors of his memory¸ reliving the moments of his life.
Forever is it the malady of kings that they forget.
He has forgotten that he left a world of enemies. He has forgotten the power of wizards and the hatred of man. He has forgotten all this and more.
Vivienne¸ his Queen and one great love¸ died. This he knew; but lost in the machinations of his Dreaming were promises made¸ of a ring he would give her. And for want of this her spirit lingered in the world to haunt her crypt¸ looking for him and the ring.
The crypt¸ the Friden Anhohe¸ is haunted by her ghost. It is up to the characters to find it¸ discover who or what she is and to free her from her haunted curse. But they are not alone¸ for an ancient and vile wizard¸ who wishes to gain access to the Sea of Dreams and to Saint Luther¸ has learned of her fate and wishes to keep her in this role¸ for it troubles the Lord of Dreams and makes him vulnerable to the wizard's attack.
A high-level adventure for a party of 4-8 characters. Play as stand-alone or part of a larger series.
