Questions about the Shadowborn Cluster

Post by Hell_Born »

Specifically: where can I find information on the domains that make up this cluster? What is Elena Faith-Hold's backstory? How did she come to fall so far?

And on other topics: have you ever run games that, at least temporarily, passed through the Shadowborn cluster? If yes, how did you run them?

The third lord isn't much detailed. He's just there, his land is just a small forest IIRC. But most of the Cluster is Nidala which is mostly detailed in Islands of Terror. Ebonbane is, as mentioned above, featured in Darklords but also appeared in an issue of Dungeon magazine back in the day.

Morgoroth isn't detailed? In A Light in the Belfry, you learn of his entire history...

That would be the adventure "Shadowborn." It was released in PDF form back on the old Kargatane website (along with the adventure "Last Dance"), but alas, it's no longer for public perusal.

..and two others from Dungeon Magazine, "The Sea Wolf" & "The Baron's Eyrie". I was lucky enough to help with the proofreading on all four for the Kargatane (mostly because I had all the original magazines), and still have the PDFs. Too bad we don't have the permissions to post them here now.
I only wish I had retired sooner!
