FIRES OF THE
HAUNTED CITY
Chapter 1: Echoes of the Dead .................. 4
The heroes travel through Jewelgate, emerging in dangerous caverns in
the Darklands. After fighting their way through these caverns, they reach
Saggorak, a massive ruin filled with undead.
ILSSRAH’S PLOTS
Ilssrah Embermead is the second in
command of the Scarlet Triad, but
she has been away from Katapesh
for many months as she seeks an
alliance with the duergar. She also
has learned that the magma dragon
beneath Saggorak, Veshumirix, holds
one of the shards of the
Orb of Gold
Dragonkind.
Veshumirix has already
agreed to part with the shard in
exchange for Kovlar, and Illssrah has
sent the shard on to Katapesh—but
the PCs shouldn’t learn about this
until the next adventure.
Ilssrah has pursued other
numerous plans toward weakening
Kovlar. One her most significant
plays involved tempting the
leader of the Stonemason’s Guild,
Mountainheart Kolarun Chiselrock,
to ally with her. Ilssrah has not
mentioned her alliance with the
dragon to him. Instead, he believes
that Ilssrah plans to attack the city
to get what she needs, and then
retreat. In exchange for his help in
undermining its defenses, she has
promised to set the stage for him to
rise as a new hero-king of Kovlar.
Chapter 2: Welcome to Kovlar ................ 16
The heroes venture to the thriving dwarven settlement of Kovlar to the
south, where they must unravel a series of mysteries and troubles plaguing
the town. In so doing, they earn the trust of the ruling Court of Regents and
uncover the sinister plots that the Scarlet Triad is weaving out in Saggorak.
Chapter 3: Into the Haunted City ............. 34
Returning to Saggorak, the heroes work their way through perilous ruins
inhabited by all manner of undead. Along the way, they draw the attention
of Saggorak’s ancient king, who proves either a useful ally or a formidable
enemy, but their true foes lie in (and below) an ancient cathedral known as
the Temple of All Gods.
