Elderbrain’s Torrents of the Spellhoarder is a 300-page D&D 5e adventure module and campaign setting with loads of player options, primarily based on survey replies from members of the Elderbrain community. The high-level adventure can be played as the sequel to the Crown of the Oathbreaker campaign or as a standalone adventure. It features scores of new monsters, encounter maps, subclasses, feats, spells, and magic items. The seafaring and exploration sandbox adventure incorporates over twenty dungeon maps and a regional map with 100 locations. The adventure takes 15th-level characters on an exploration journey through the treacherous waters of the Calhay Sea around the famed draconic Isles of Xantharos and above the lost underwater Kingdom of A'rvanshy. The book is based on the feedback of hundreds of D&D fans whose votes on their preferences gave the backbone of the adventure and the campaign setting. The community continuously influences the fine details of the story and the setting through Elderbrain’s Discord server. Torrents of the Spellhoarder also includes 100 NPCs, their locations, and portraits based on the actual photos of members of the Elderbrain community. You may find more information on Crown of the Oathbreaker, as well as the free 91-page Chapter 1 download, on our site: https://elderbrain.com/

We're thrilled to announce that we've begun writing Scepter of the Lightbringer, an urban investigation adventure inspired by the latest survey from the Elderbrain community. Set in the expansive sandbox realm of Drayl, this adventure spans from 1st to 12th level, featuring three intricately detailed city-states with hundreds of locations to explore. As players unravel puzzles and mysteries, they'll race against malevolent factions, striving to thwart their dark agendas. We aim to complete the adventure by early 2025, with plans to launch a Kickstarter that will significantly reduce the wait time for fulfillment.
Please join your fellow DMs on Discord, where you can help build the adventure, read other DM's session recaps, and find creative fan content (maps, handouts, stat blocks).
With a warm tentacle hug,
Team Elderbrain
