The King Beneath the Hill for Chivalry & Sorcery

The King Beneath the Hill is a beginner adventure for Chivalry & Sorcery 5th Edition.

The Barony of Esca is a wild area, fringed by great troll-haunted forests and wastelands, and steeped in legend. Lord Caradoc, the King’s cousin and first Baron of Esca, has carved a territory out of the wastes. Yet strange and unnatural prodigies still occur in Esca, albeit less frequently than in previous years. Many young hopefuls come to Lord Caradoc’s court in search of renown, and knighthood as there are still adventures to be had in Esca!

Centuries ago, people buried a king in a long barrow in the forests of what is now the Barony of Esca. The tomb lay undisturbed until a few weeks ago, when a disgraced minstrel stumbled across it on the way from the court. In the weeks that followed farmers and villagers have been vanishing. It is up to the adventurers to investigate and resolve the cause of the disappearances. This adventure is for beginning-level characters, with humans and warriors in the majority. Characters start the adventure with only their initial weapons and equipment, but those without horses are loaned normal riding horses by Lord Caradoc, the adventurers’ liege lord.
