BLOODSTONES - THE TOWER

Is a Grim & Perilous ShadowDark Adventure for Crawler Levels 1-2

This adventure was originally written in 1987 for WFRP 1st Edition. Now, it has been proudly adapted for ShadowDark. This adventure serves as the starting point for the Bloodstones campaign, introducing the first two stones (#1 & #2). The location of the remaining ten stones (#3 ~ #12) will follow, each with their own mini-adventure.

Premises:

In the shadowed reaches of history, from a millennium past, there existed an age swallowed by darkness. It was a world ruled by chaos, where the few civilized realms stood as isolated beacons of hope amid a wilderness ravaged by malevolent forces.

During this bleak era, two formidable wizards, masters of their respective magical arts, united their powers. One wielded the fierce energies of battle magic, while the other commanded the secrets of ancient arcane runes. Together, they forged the legendary Bloodstones to fight against the dark forces.

They crafted twelve stones in total, each imbued with a unique and potent enchantment to empower its bearer the ability to fight against the forces of darkness. These precious stones were entrusted to the twelve known civilized realms, each bestowed upon a worthy leader, those who would dare to wield them against evil and chaos.

As time crawled forward, aided from the stones the relentless forces of chaos were pushed back and gradually vanquished, ushering in an era of peace and prosperity. The Bloodstones were passed down through generations from one descendant to another, though not without peril. Some were stolen, while others were seized through bloodshed. Over time, the stones faded into obscurity, lost and forgotten about, their existence fading into a realm of legends.

Until this day, when the ancient book of legends was opened once again...

In a world where ancient magic seeps into every root and river, the beginning of the Bloodstones Campaign Adventure invites Crawlers into an epic tale of loyalty turned to enmity and a struggle for power born of blood and betrayal. This is the story of once two friends — one dedicated to knowledge, the other to the thrill of power — whose quest for forbidden magic unraveled the fabric of their bond and set them on opposing paths.

Now, as the Crawlers step into this story, they find themselves caught between the lingering shadows of the two main characters who dared to uncover the legend and dangerous allure of the Bloodstones. As their journey unfolds, players must decide which path to take, what sacrifices they are willing to make, and ultimately, if power at such a price is worth the blood it demands.

This adventure campaign calls upon the brave, the cunning, or the desperate to seek the Bloodstones, facing the same darkness these stones were crafted to banish. Will you rise to reclaim these lost relics and protect the lands from an age-old evil? Or will their power lead you down the darker paths of ambition? The choice is yours, but the legacy of the Bloodstones and the echoes of the ancient age await those who dare.
