A DARK URBAN ADVENTURE OF PROPHECY, CONSPIRACY, AND FORBIDDEN POWER

Uncover a hidden cult, survive the streets of Drayl, and stop a catastrophe that could consume the world.

Scepter of the Lightbringer is a 582-page D&D 5e campaign setting and adventure module that takes characters from 1st to 10th level.

The city-states of Drayl are suffering beneath a devastating magical heatwave. As unrest spreads and old rivalries intensify, the characters become entangled in an ancient prophecy and a hidden struggle between powerful factions seeking control of a legendary artifact.

To uncover the truth, the heroes must investigate secret cults, expose dangerous conspiracies, navigate political intrigue, and survive the criminal syndicates operating beneath Drayl’s crowded streets.

Their journey leads from seedy taverns and monster-infested sewers to haunted ruins, forgotten dungeons, and the mysterious Plane of Memories. As the scale of the disaster becomes clear, the characters must confront powerful adversaries and uncover the true cause of the unfolding catastrophe.

Those who survive will ultimately face a world-shaking enemy whose defeat demands a perilous journey into the Plane of Negative Energy—the domain of one of the universe’s most destructive forces.

Explore the Drayl City-States

Scepter of the Lightbringer combines a complete D&D 5e adventure with an expansive urban campaign setting designed for investigation, exploration, faction play, and sandbox adventuring.
