A Glimpse Inside the Scroll

Here's a taste from “The Ashen Court,” one of our most popular one-shots.

NPC Profile

Maelis Duskmantle

Half-elf courtier · Neutral Evil · The Ashen Court

Once the queen's most trusted advisor, Maelis now secretly brokers forbidden pacts with entities beyond the veil. She speaks in honeyed half-truths and always knows more than she reveals.

Motivation: Resurrect her twin sister using a ritual hidden in the royal archives — at any cost.

Faction Conflict

The Veil Pact vs. The Iron Choir

The Veil Pact — a cabal of court sorcerers — seeks to breach the boundary between the living and the dead. The Iron Choir, paladins sworn to the old faith, will burn the court to ash before they let that happen.

Player Hook: Both factions approach the party with gold and promises. Choosing a side — or playing both — determines the fate of the Ashen Court.

Encounter

The Midnight Tribunal

CR 5 · 4-5 players · Level 3-5

The party is summoned to the queen's obsidian throne room at midnight. The doors seal. Ghostly jurors line the gallery. One PC is named the accused — and the trial begins.

Twist: The “jury” are bound spirits who attack if the verdict goes against the Veil Pact's interests. Social or combat — the players decide.
