The Journey towards the Undying War Continues!

Travel to the far reaches of the Barren Wood is perilous in the best of times. These are not the best of times. Here, in the forest's western eves the trees are old, with tangled roots deep in the ground, where the fey still roam wild and free. Ancient ruins, many pre-dating the Winter Dark, lay buried in cool deeps, their halls and towers abandoned to the wilderness and to time. But here too, in these dangerous environs, Unklar's folk have fled, making hidden holes in dark places. So it is with the small and the powerful.

The most famous of the ruins is the Old Ziggurat. Built by the Aenochians, its many levels served the priests of that ancient empire some 1300 years ago. The Old Ziggurat lay empty for many years, but that has, so the tales relate, changed. The Bard Erikendous has come from the lonely paths of those western eves with stories of dark roots in that old place. Of creatures, of Unklar's servants, making their abode there. His tales, crafted into song, are of a Witch Queen.  Few of these creatures lived in the days of darkness, foul and mean women who ate the flesh of their victims.

The ziggurat is a foul place and would-be heroes willing to enter this abode and challenge the inhabitants must gird themselves for desperate battle against both the arcane and mundane. For here resides one of the Witch Queens of old and she has surrounded herself with the remnants of the Horned One's armies and the cohorts of those wrecked and ruined in the foul pits of Aufstrag.

This self–contained adventure takes place in a single locale. Though this adventure can be played separately, the characters and plot are part of a greater story that began in A1 Assault on Blacktooth Ridge and continued in A2 Slag Heap. The storylines for continuing the adventure are well described throughout this adventure and should be abandoned or used at the Castle Keeper’s discretion. Otherwise, the vast majority of the adventure will occur within the ziggurat and perhaps the small town outside it.
