Torrents of the Spellhoarder and Crown of the Oathbreaker
Created by Elderbrain.com
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.

Latest Updates from Our Project:
New add-ons: Accessory Boxes

Dear Old and New brains!
Based on your feedback and to save you some loot, we have decided to add two new add-ons that bundle the physical accessories and other add-ons for the adventures: the Accessory Boxes.
These boxes are the right choices for those who just want to have all the accessories for each adventure without splurging on the Deluxe Hardcovers and additional digital products.
The add-ons are called:
Torrentsof the Spellhoarder Accessories($109)
Crownof the SpellhoarderAccessories($119)
Each Accessory Box contains every physical accessory for the respective adventure. The boxes can be added to any physical pledge during the campaign or to digital pledges after the campaign.
The boxes include:
Dice Sets + Bags: Showing up to the session with these will invoke some serious dice-envy!
DM Screens: With thematic art on the front and useful tables on the back, these DM screens will be in high demand. At any moment, the DM can look up the weather and naval combat rules, or how the mystical Orbs of Magic work for Torrents, or check the rules of the Midnight Curse or mass combat without even opening CotO during play.
Sandbox Poster Maps: The huge physical copy of the Calhay Sea and the Seat of Scales for Torrents or the sandbox maps of Aglarion, Onadbyr, and the Bleak Mire, ripe with potential for sea exploration.
Cover Posters and Art Prints: Decorate your walls with epic art from Torrents and CotO - the cover poster and 3 additional art prints! We plan to make the final choices for art prints based on backer votes when all designs are final.
Booster Card Decks: Hand out the item, spell, feat, fraction, and NPC cards to your players. Running sessions and organizing player options has never been easier!
Magnetic Bookmarks: The books will have 3 built-in bookmarks, but why not strengthen your game with another one?
Sticker Sheets: Kick-ass retro stickers inspired by Torrents and CotO on an A4 sticker sheet. You can leave your mark anywhere with these beauties.
If you pledge the Torrents Hardcover or Hardcover Series reward tiers, you can choose either or both boxes as add-ons by modifying and changing your pledge level and selected add-ons.
Striving to best serve the Hive Mind!

Hello, Brain Collective!
We are excited to announce that the Kickstarter campaign is sailing full speed ahead, and our cargo is full of treasures of the highest quality! Let’s see the items exclusive to the campaign, only available to our backers who board the ship this month.
The Torrents of the Spellhoarder Deluxe Box and the Crown of the Oathbreaker Deluxe Box are only available to our backers who choose the highest tiers or who choose them as add-ons. These boxes come with loads of Kickstarter-exclusive products, including:
Deluxe Hardcovers: With premium alternative art on the covers, in metallic ink print, these limited edition books are beautiful and get only more valuable with time.
Dice Sets + Bags: Showing up to the session with these will please Lady Luck and the gods of the ocean.
Sandbox Poster Maps: Huge physical copies of the sandbox maps of Aglarion, Onadbyr, the Bleak Mire, and the Calhay Sea, ripe with potential for exploration.
Cover Posters and 6 Art Prints: Decorate your dungeon with the epic front covers of the two books and a selection of the most impressive artwork found inside.
Magnetic Bookmarks: The books already have 3 built-in bookmarks, but why not up the numbers? They also look great on their own.
Sticker Sheets: Kick-ass stickers. You can even use them for inspiration during the session.
For the highest level of heroes in our campaign, the possibility to immortalize themselves through NPC Portraits is open but only to the first 100 backers. Become one of the core NPCs in the story, or come up with an NPC to be included in the book with a unique description and role in the setting, by grabbing one of the All-in Hero Box Series rewards while they last!
Finally, let’s not forget about the stretch goals:
Premium Item and Monster cards: These cards in shiny premium foil will be added to the booster boxes as soon as we reach $100k and $200k.
Printed Character Sheets: At $300k, we are placing four sets of thematic printed character sheets in each deluxe box.
Encounter Maps, Location Maps and more: Each box will contain six extra poster maps for random encounters (3) and locations (3). Stay tuned for even more loot to come as additional stretch goals are unlocked!
If you would like to upgrade your tier, it’s super easy. Just click on the “Manage your pledge” button on the project page. Then on the following page, select “Change your pledge,” and you can upgrade to a higher tier or add any of the available add-ons. Physical add-ons are only available for physical reward tiers, so if you pledged a digital tier, you will have the option to choose your physical add-ons after the campaign on Backerkit.
Thank you for the amazing support, and stay tuned, because the next update will reveal more about the collector’s items in the Deluxe Boxes.
