Her Sun-Shattered Tears

Serve your sorcerer-queen

It has been generations since a magical cataclysm ravaged the world, turning a fertile planet into a feral wasteland. The sun, which once brought warmth and beckoned crops, now looms titanic and black, its dim crimson light bleeding through cracks in its blistered surface.

Those who remain huddle together in city-states, each ruled by a beautiful and cruel Sorcerer-Queen who wields the peoples' fear of magic like a cudgel. It is upon the remnants of the pre-cataclysmic civilizations that the foundation slabs of these city-states were laid—and the temple of one such lost society has just been unearthed.

Her legion weak with hunger, beset by invaders, and filthy with traitors, the Sorcerer-Queen has instead chosen a band of loyal thralls to enter the exhumed temple and seize the relic rumored to be hidden within: the Tears of the Siege Angel.

Her Sun-Shattered Tears is a deadly dungeon delve for 1st-level Shadowdark RPG characters.
