A compact two‑page adventure paired with a full 20×40 battle map of a collapsed frontier mine threaded with glittering etherium mineral and claimed by a lurking phase spider. Designed for 4–6 characters of 3rd level.

The Spider in the Stone – Contract Scenario

This Contract Scenario is presented as an official mission issued by the Company, designed for quick deployment into any ongoing campaign.

A newly opened etherium mine has gone silent after a collapse. Six miners never returned home, and the families petition the Company for aid. Lanterns lie abandoned at the entrance, and the upper tunnels show signs of sudden failure. Deeper within, glittering etherium veins catch the light in fractured patterns — and the drag marks left behind lead toward a sealed cavity below. The Company dispatches the party to descend the shaft, locate the missing miners, and confront whatever now nests in the stone.

This compact, two‑page Contract Scenario provides a focused, table‑ready mission supported by a full battle map of the mine and its unstable lower chambers. Designed for quick prep and flexible use, it fits easily into ongoing campaigns or can stand alone as a short, self‑contained excursion for low‑level parties. All creature stat blocks referenced in this brief appear in the Monster Manual.

A city is not its walls. It is the sum of every secret its people are keeping from one another — and from you.

Cities of the Known World is a settlement supplement for Chronicles of the Primeval World, detailing eight major locations across the four great races. Each settlement belongs to a different political faction, ensuring that a campaign moving between them encounters a full spectrum of culture, conflict, and motivation — even within a single race.

Every settlement includes a full district-by-district guide, keyed locations, deeply developed NPCs with hidden agendas, active ongoing conflicts, and three adventure hooks drawn directly from the settlement's current political situation.

The Eight Settlements

Gorethall — Seat of the Ashpyre Dominion. Nine levels deep, the lowest controlled by a demon that has been in residence since Year 67. The Grand Lord has not aged in twelve years. Something on Level Nine has been making noise.

Skorrath's Hollow — Heart of the Ironmaw Confederation. Forty-three entrances, a Council split one vote from civil war, and a Night Creature that has been watching the perimeter from the outside for three years without anyone inside knowing why.

Bronzedeep — The oldest dwarf hold. A 187-year-old Forge-Lord sitting on a decision he made seventy years ago and has never explained. A 231-year-old archivist with a mysterious correspondent she suspects is not human. A sealed level that has started making sounds.

Tremorthall — The deepest active dwarf hold. A Forgotten Beast called Ashveil has been ascending through the cavern systems for nine years and is now one level below the civilian population. The commander has a fallback plan she hasn't shared with anyone.

Valdenmoor — Seat of the Free Cities League. The city whose gates are never locked, on philosophical principle. A Night Creature has been sitting on the Open Council and voting in meetings for four months. An unpublished manuscript explains where the demon in Gorethall actually came from.

Ashenport — The Merchant Republic's trading capital. The most racially diverse city in the known world. One of its eleven ruling Great Houses is funding goblin raids on trade rivals. A Primeval Dreamstuff artifact is on the private market and three separate buyers want it badly enough to do something about it.

Silverfen — The most accessible elf retreat. The Court of Leaves' primary diplomatic contact point. An Ironcraft Society spy has been in residence for three weeks posing as a scholar. The Arbiter has been sitting on a secret since Year 198 and the trees in the Memory Grove are starting to respond to it.

Emberhaven — Closed to outsiders for forty years. Holds the only known text describing a Forgotten Beast's specific weakness. An ancient obligation the elves made before civilization existed has made contact again for the first time in forty years. Something below the retreat is converging on a crisis point four months away.

Everything Connects

The supplement's final section maps the cross-settlement threads: the same criminal network operating in both goblin and human cities, the same Ironcraft trade monopoly choking commerce from Bronzedeep to Ashenport, the same wind pattern mystery surfacing in a manuscript in Valdenmoor, and the same convergence crisis building below both Tremorthall and Emberhaven.

A campaign that moves between these cities will find that the world is smaller than it looks — and that understanding one settlement provides keys to the next.

What's Inside

• Eight fully keyed settlements with district guides and named locations
• 24 fully developed NPCs — appearance, personality, role, secret, and adventure hooks for each
• Active conflicts for every settlement providing immediate hooks on arrival
• Three adventure hooks per settlement, 24 total
• Political faction breakdown for each settlement and its relationship to the wider world
• A cross-settlement connections guide for long-campaign use
• Quick reference tables for all eight settlements

Designed For

Urban campaigns, political intrigue, long-form play, and DMs who want cities that feel like they existed before the characters arrived. Pairs with the Chronicles of the Primeval World core setting, but usable as a standalone resource for any dark fantasy campaign.

Someone in Silverfen is not who they say they are.

The elves already know this. They simply do not yet know which one.

The Ironcraft Spy is a three-act investigation and intrigue module set in Silverfen, the primary diplomatic retreat of the Court of Leaves. It takes four first-level characters to level 3, with a path to level 4 for the best possible outcome. It is designed for 4–6 sessions of play and rewards observation, social skill, and careful decision-making — while providing enough combat for characters who prefer a direct approach.

The Setup

Speaker Elowin Ashbark has been conducting secret trade negotiations with the Merchant Republic of Ashenport — negotiations that would cut the powerful Ironcraft Society out of a lucrative botanical monopoly they have held for over a century. Ironcraft found out within weeks. They dispatched an operative named Mira Goldthorn, posing as an independent scholar called Senna Vayle, to identify Elowin's contacts, steal his negotiation records, and disappear before anyone notices.

Mira has been in Silverfen for three weeks. She is warm, knowledgeable, genuinely curious, and very good at her job. She has six days left before her cover expires.

The player characters arrive as something else entirely. Arbiter Lyssara Dawnveil — three hundred years old, the most experienced political operator in any elf retreat — notices something about them during their reception: they have no faction stake. No allegiances. No investment in the existing situation. In a crisis that has become dangerously political, that is exactly what she needs.

She doesn't ask them to do anything. She simply suggests they get to know their fellow guests.

The Module

Act One — Arrival establishes the characters in Silverfen, introduces the key NPCs, and seeds the first clues through a guided approach to the retreat, a formal reception with multiple layers of social undercurrent, and a first night of free exploration that reveals more than it appears to. Characters reach Level 2.

Act Two — The Retreat is the investigation. A six-day countdown tracks what Mira accomplishes if the characters don't stop her. The characters explore Silverfen's platforms and library, navigate elf politics, interrogate an unusually cooperative librarian, attempt to access a locked record room through one of three distinct approaches, and ultimately pursue Mira through a canopy-level chase to a confrontation that is social before it is physical. Characters reach Level 3.

Act Three — The Consequences is about what the characters choose to do with what they've found. Release Mira with a warning. Hold her as a diplomatic hostage. Turn her over to Ashenport as evidence of Ironcraft's illegal espionage. Every choice has different political ripple effects, different rewards, and a different shape to the world the characters leave behind. The path to Level 4 runs through the best possible outcome — and it requires thinking about more than just the immediate situation.

The Spy

Mira Goldthorn is not a villain. She is a professional doing a job she is very good at and has grown quietly tired of. She fights only when escape is impossible. If captured and treated fairly, she becomes an asset. If killed, Ironcraft's response is immediate and disproportionate. How the characters handle her is the moral center of the module.

What's Inside

• Full three-act structure with scene-by-scene DM guidance, branching outcomes, and pacing notes
• A six-day countdown system that creates genuine urgency without railroading
• Three distinct approaches to the module's central infiltration challenge — authorized, stealth, and stakeout
• A canopy-level chase encounter with a structured check sequence
• Full stat blocks for all combat encounters: Giant Spiders, Ironcraft Mercenaries, the Ironcraft Agent, Thornwatch Archers, and Mira Goldthorn herself
• Complete NPC roster with appearance, motivation, secret, and adventure hook for every named character
• Ten keyed locations covering all of Silverfen's accessible and restricted areas
• Four player handouts including Mira's coded research notes, the Ironcraft cipher key, the intercepted letter of intent, and the Court of Leaves' formal recognition token
• Three random tables: Silverfen atmosphere, Mira's observable daily behavior, and jungle encounter seeds
• Full XP and milestone leveling tracks
• Scaling notes for 3-player and 5-player groups

Designed For

Tables that enjoy mystery, political consequence, and morally complex antagonists. The module can be run as a standalone or as the opening chapter of a longer campaign in the Primeval World setting — the events of The Ironcraft Spy have consequences that reach all the way to Ashenport, Bronzedeep, and Gorethall.

Compatible with D&D 5th Edition (2024). Easily adapted to any d20 fantasy system.

Part of the Chronicles of the Primeval World line.

Most settings are invented. This one happened.

Chronicles of the Primeval World is a dark fantasy campaign setting derived from a complete historical record spanning 250 years of simulated civilization, war, and catastrophe. Every named conflict in this book was fought. Every fallen city was once inhabited. Every threat has a body count attached to it.
The World
Goblins outnumber every other intelligent race combined — and some of their pit-cities are run by demons who have held court there for nearly two centuries. The dwarf holds are ancient, deep, and occasionally dig into something that ends them. The elves have never lost a forest retreat in 250 years, which tells you exactly what happens to armies that test them. And the humans have built a philosophical tradition sophisticated enough to shape elf diplomacy — between raids.
Below all of it: the underworld, the Forgotten Beasts, and whatever has been down there longer than any of them.
The Threats
Two Bronze Colossi have been alive since before recorded history. No known origin. No known weakness. A combined enemy list that includes every civilization on the continent. Alongside them: nine Titans, over 130 Forgotten Beasts (each unique, each a different tactical problem), fifteen demon types, five dragons, and thirteen classifications of Night Creature that have been systematically stealing identities for two hundred years.
The Mystery
Seven scholarly texts written across 180 years, by different authors, all circle the same problem: the world's wind patterns are wrong. Not unusual — wrong, as if responding to something that hasn't happened yet, or something that already happened somewhere that no longer exists. Nobody has solved it. The answer is in this book.
What's Inside

Artifact and relic guide including Primeval Dreamstuff and legendary named weapons
Cultural chapter covering art, philosophy, religion, trade, and two centuries of espionage

Designed For
