Castles & Crusades S5 – The Horned Gods Winter

Description

The Horned God’s Winter is adventure module S5 for Castles & Crusades

Of The Horned God’s Winter contains 15 adventures designed to play alone or as part of a complete campaign arc.

Beyond the Inner Sea lie the high mountains of the Holmgard, the Roof of the World. Here the country is wild, and dangerous, sparsely settled by barbarians, dwarves, and the occasional mad wizard. It is a hard land of narrow paths, deep canyons, and cliffs without purchase. This land of snow and ice offers little comfort for those who risk her high paths. It is a land of giants, where giants once roosted, where dwarves built homes and dungeons. A land wholly forgotten but rich in lost treasures that echo a world long gone. It is one rich in adventure, filled with wealth beyond imagining and glory for those who do not fall.

Beyond the mountains lies the Gottland, the land without gods. This too is a land of imagined treasures, where giants, trolls, and gods with cloven feet have walked for countless years. Many venture here, but only a few realize the dream of wealth everlasting for it is a hard place of primordial violence, ancient magics, and one of the last vestiges of the Horned God’s Winter.

Of the Horned God’s Winter is a series of loosely connected adventures taking the characters from the sea town of Capistria, through the mountains and down to the Plains of Doost. Along its path, the characters may, at the CK’s discretion, encounter rune magic, either for their Rune Mark or for the character wishing to become one.
