Prince of Darkness

Revealed herein by the pens of sages lie the greatest mystery of the Darkness Elementals: the nature and place of the Lost City of Nem, long thought a legend. Further is the dolorous tale of a man brought low by lust for power, how he killed his king and sought to release a great evil into the world, and the overturning of his plans by brave adventurers from another land. Also here are truths about the ancient fief of Glissom, its city and towns, the rivers that bedevil it, and tales of great giants that live in the ice at its frozen north.

The tiny fief of Glissom sits at the northernmost tip of Ellesland, caught between icy wastes and warlike neighbors. Like its mountains, its culture seems to have been frozen by the ice: even its busy merchant-port is a throw-back to an earlier time, while bands of bloodied rivers stalk the roads and rivers, and folk-tales speak of ancient giants and stranger beings among the glaciers in the Brack Mountains.

When the PCs befriend a swashbuckling adventurer only to discover he is the heir to the throne, they find themselves caught up in what looks like a power-struggle for control of the fief. But it spirals out of control at dizzying speed and they find themselves on a race against time to rediscover a long-lost city buried in the ice—and it's terrifying occupants. They will face implacable enemies, bizarre monsters and near-insane cultists set on raising the Prince of Darkness himself.
