Heresy of Steel - A Steinhardt's Adventure (Formerly known as Rise of the Wretched)
🕑 Added 2024-04-04 11:55:32 +0000 UTCHello good hunter!
Embark on a journey into the world of Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt, in the heart of the doomed city of Luyarnha with "The Cursed Convoy," the first installment of the "Heresy of Steel" adventure path.
April 15th Update: Art added inside.
Heresy of Steel
As the first part of the "Heresy of Steel" adventure path, this installment sets the stage for a story filled with eldritch horrors, political intrigue, and moral dilemmas. The subsequent adventures will be released progressively, building upon the events and revelations of "The Cursed Convoy" to form a complete and immersive campaign.
Each new adventure will be made available on [insert link here Evan (this is not a typo I'm just not 100% sure of where I'll upload it all)], allowing you to continue the story at your own pace.
While the first part is being released for free to give everyone a taste of what's to come, the rest of the adventures will be released as they are completed, with art being added as it becomes available. Though a couple of pieces of art may be missing or incomplete in this initial release, the text is fully realized, and I wanted to make it available to the eager fans who have been patiently waiting for this moment. Don't worry I'll update it all once I have all the art.
The Cursed Convoy
In this adventure for 1st to 2nd level characters, your party finds themselves aboard a speeding train carrying both a curse and a chance at salvation. As the train hurtles towards Luyarnha, you become entangled in a web of dark secrets, eldritch mysteries, and perilous confrontations.
Uncover the sinister machinations of Malach, the Angel of Flesh, as he manipulates the city's factions to sow chaos and further his twisted agenda. Navigate the complex political landscape of Luyarnha, where the Radiant Church, the Scions, and the Forsaken vie for power amidst rising tensions. Your background choice and decisions throughout the campaign will have far-reaching consequences, shaping the fate of the city and its inhabitants.

Personal Missions
"Heresy of Steel" puts your characters' backgrounds and personal missions (which are built before the adventure begins) at the forefront. Each character's backstory is woven into the narrative, providing opportunities for growth, revelation, and—sometimes—heart-wrenching decisions. Will you unravel the mystery of your ancestry, confront the sinister forces that haunt your dreams, or expose the heretical truth that threatens to shatter your faith?
Requirements
To embark on this journey, you'll need the 5th Edition core rulebooks or the freely available System Reference Document (SRD) and Basic Rules. Additionally, Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt is a necessary resource as it offers the rules for madness, the monsters, trick weapons and spells that your players will encounter.
Do you have what it takes to unravel the secrets of Luyarnha and turn the tide against the darkness, or will you fall victim to the city's impending doom? Find out in "Heresy of Steel" the heart-pounding beginning of an unforgettable adventure.
P.S: Your feedback is invaluable in helping me refine and perfect this adventure path. If, in the course of your journey through Luyarnha, you encounter any aspects of the story, the mechanics, or the presentation that seem unclear, confusing, or in need of improvement, I wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out and let me know.
