Tower of Amarathea

Post by Solomoriah »

This is now the development thread for the Tower of Amarathea adventure. I am in fact rolling Ebonbenter Tor up into it. There is a lot yet to create, or steal from other unfinished adventures, but this is a start.

ORIGINAL POST

Posted for consideration. I'm not ready to move forward with this, but it fits into the Western Lands, works with my also-unfinished Kingdom of Sussary adventures, and has space for Ebonbenter Tor.

Kingdom of Sussary is here:

Ebonbenter Tor is here:

A medusa as something other than a simple monster to be fought/killed could go in a lot of interesting directions.

My thought was that she might be a patron, actually.

I'm imagining a multimodule which begins with some kind of entry-level stuff, moves on to Ebonbenter Tor, and then ends with the Sussary adventure series. Amarathea depends on the trade road for her income, and might actually hire adventurers to remove road hazards like, say, highwaymen or other sorts of bandits so as to keep the traffic flowing and the tolls rolling in.

Its cool to see a monster as a powerful NPC, if the player plays the right cards, it can become into a great asset.

I've begun leaning toward separating Tower of Amarathea and Kingdom of Sussary but leaving them linked. Sussary is where the western end of the Itarian Trade Road turns north; one of the cities of Sussary (probably the capitol) was built on the ruins of the Itarian capitol city.

Amarathea would actually become the patron of the player characters, in the version I'm imagining. She would give them missions with broad parameters of success, but greater rewards if they do it "her way."

I'm attaching another page for everyone to look at. Still not enough stuff to start a Workshop thread.

Did you want to pull Ebonbenter Tor from the eventual-AA4 for this? We'll have more than enough material anyways (and I have at least 1-2 more in progress).

Yes, Ebonbenter Tor is coming out. The more I think about this, the more I want to finish it.
