AZUREPORT: THE JEWEL OF THE SEAS

A city-state setting for Old School D&D, Pathfinder 1E / D20 System, and D&D 5E

Azureport should not exist.

Thirty years ago it was torn from a dying world and set down on this coast. Half of another city came with it, fused into the streets so completely that the seam is now just part of the map. The duke who brought it here never arrived. A council of nine governs in his place, and no longer asks how the city came to be. Most residents have stopped asking too.

On the surface, Azureport is rich, crowded, and well run: a southern port of 155,000 souls, gold coin coming off the sea faster than anyone can quite account for, wide roads, busy markets, and slate-blue gulls ringing from the masts like glass bells. Underneath, the cobbles run cold at high tide, a wing of the old keep has been sealed since the first night, and the boats that sail too far south do not come home. The city has agreed not to look too closely at itself, and that is starting to cost it.

This is a city you can run tonight, and a campaign you can run for a year.

Built to run, not just to read

Every page belongs to one of four content tiers, clearly marked so you always know what you are looking at:

• Player-Safe Lore is the main text. A player can read it, or you can read it aloud.
• GM Secrets sit in tinted boxes: what a faction actually wants, what is really in the sealed east wing, what is in the sea to the south.
• At the Table boxes give practical running advice, GM to GM.
• Drop-In Advice explains how to lift any piece of the city into your own world, system, or tone.

Read it cold and start a scene in two minutes, or follow the buried truths all the way down to what really happened the night the city arrived. Take as much or as little as your table wants.

What is inside

• A complete city-state in 177 pages. Fourteen chapters covering history and founding, geography and the wider realm, districts and gates, government, law and the watch, factions, faith, economy, and daily life.
• Three big factions and a full cast of named NPCs, each with a public face, a private truth, and clear ways to use them at the table.
• Rumour, event, and random tables to seed at the docks, the tavern, or the customs queue. None of them is entirely false.
• Four adventure sites with maps, scaling from level 2 to 6, that can run as one-shots or link together so each one answers a question and raises two more.
• A page of drop-in hooks and three full campaign frames, from dockside crime and grey markets, to the troubled coastal borderland, to the slow dread of what woke in the sea to the south.
• A back-of-book bestiary, GM quick reference, NPC and faction rosters, and a full index.

Three systems, in every stat block

Every stat block is given three times, in the same order, so you never have to convert on the fly:

• 5E for Fifth Edition and Tales of the Valiant
• d20 for D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder 1st Edition
• OSR for old-school play in the B/X tradition and most retroclones

The prose throughout is system neutral. It describes what a thing is and what it does. The numbers live in the stat blocks only, so the city reads the same whatever you run.

Grounded, not grim

Azureport is hard and warm in the same breath. People help each other. The watch is undermanned and the courts are slow, but the bread is fresh and the work goes on. Adventures here end with costs counted and the work continuing, not with the world saved or lost.

Whether you want a single evening in a strange port, a faction-driven city campaign, or a slow-building horror rising out of the southern water, Azureport hands you the city ready to run.

Open any district, grab an NPC and a hook, and begin.

Somewhere in the vast desert lie the Dunlands, an overcast wasteland dotted with grey crystal formations. It is said by older folk of the sands that this land was once flush with color and life, though those days are long passed. The denizens of this area reflect their surroundings, lifeless and without vigor, and those who travel through here have learned to avoid the area, lest they suffer the same gloomy fate.

Near the center of the Dunlands lies a half sunken tower, the bulk of which is buried beneath the surface. A millenia ago, the roots of the World Tree stretched deep beneath the ground here and forces of the Inferno attempted to use the planar pathway to spread their evil through the land. In doing so, they damaged the roots and nearly brought the nearby domains to ruin. A collection of followers dedicated to law devised a solution: a prismatic beacon that would gather solar energy to feed the decaying land and infuse the area with the power of the sun. Their gambit worked, the chaos actors were driven back to the Inferno and the roots were strengthened.

A century ago, a Demon Prince of shadow came to the World Tree and brought great tremors that unearthed a portion of the corrupted root beneath the tower, releasing the spirit of a slain demon known as a countenance. The countenance killed the caretakers who maintained the beacon and sabotaged the tower’s ability to spread radiance. Now, the lands around it have reverted back to a dull and lifeless state. The tower still remains, half buried in the broken ground and haunted by the denizens who chafe at the light of day.

The Prismatic Tower is a Shadowdark adventure for levels 4-6

The island of Mortaii was never meant to become more than an archaeological expedition.

What began as a small excavation has grown into a thriving frontier settlement filled with workers, scholars, merchants, and explorers seeking answers buried beneath the earth.

Yet strange events have begun troubling the island.

Missing supplies.

Disappearing survey markers.

Wildlife behaving in unsettling ways.

At first, each problem seems harmless.

Then the excavation uncovers something impossible.

An ancient stone doorway hidden beneath the hill.

A passage descending into darkness.

And evidence that Mortaii rests atop far more than forgotten ruins.

Beneath Mortaii is a Tier I Lodesyia adventure for 1st–4th level characters that combines investigation, exploration, frontier life, and discovery as players uncover the first hints of a vast underground world hidden beneath the surface.

Inside You'll Find:

• A detailed guide to the growing Mortaii settlement
• New NPCs, locations, and frontier encounters
• Multiple investigation-focused scenarios
• Strange mysteries affecting the island community
• The terrifying Manipede, a predator from below
• The first revealed entrance to the Lower Deep
• A gateway to future Mortaii and Lower Deep adventures

Some discoveries change history.

Others reveal how little history truly knows.

The path into the Lower Deep begins here.

This module is part of the Mortaii Thread.

Each adventure in the series stands alone—but together, they reveal a larger mystery.

📌 REQUIREMENTS

Requires:

• Lodesyia Player’s Handbook
• Lodesyia Game Master’s Guide
• Lodesyia Monster Guide

This scenario comes from our home campaign - Corsairs of the Azure Atoll! Three of our 3rd level PCs head off to some mysterious caves at the behest of some "investors". It's a paying gig and being short on money, it sounds like an easy job...

Although set in the Pangia Atoll Campaign, this adventure setting is easily adaptable to most any game and system. This scenario was created for a group of three, third level adventurers. Save yourself some time and utilize it for a one shot adventure or a continuing campaign! Remember to follow @FilbarRPG on Bluesky for special sales notices and other tidbits about our products.

Treskva: Savage Lands of Oath and Iron

Shattered Realms Vol. II

The grasslands remember blood.

Beyond the fractured frontiers of civilization lies a land where iron speaks louder than law, where ancient oaths outlive the men who swore them, and where forgotten powers sleep beneath windswept plains stained by centuries of war.

Treskva: Savage Lands of Oath and Iron is the second volume in the Shattered Realms campaign setting series, a brutal sword and sorcery world forged from tribal warfare, fallen empires, ruined wonders, and the lingering scars of a catastrophe that shattered reality itself.

Across endless red grasslands, nomadic clans ride beneath storm-dark skies. Blood priests chant beside ancient standing stones. Warrior kings rise and fall beneath banners soaked in generations of vengeance. The city-state of Sanct-Arvyeth struggles to preserve order against the encroaching wilds, while the fierce tribes of the Ulreth, Khar-Dru, and Skar’thuun follow traditions older than memory. Along the coasts, pirates hunt forgotten relics among black waters and drowned ruins. Deep beneath the earth, relics of lost ages whisper to those reckless enough to listen.

Inside this volume you will find:

• A complete exploration of Treskva, one of the most dangerous and iconic regions of the Shattered Realms.

• Detailed coverage of tribes, clans, warrior cultures, religions, blood cults, city-states, and rival factions.

• Vast wilderness regions filled with ancient battlefields, cursed ruins, forgotten sanctuaries, shattered fortresses, and hidden mysteries.

• Legendary relics, lost treasures, cursed artifacts, and mythic locations sought by warlords, prophets, and tomb raiders alike.

• Adventure hooks, political conflicts, tribal feuds, pirate campaigns, and frontier struggles ready to inspire entire campaigns.

• A setting designed for sword and sorcery adventures, survival-focused exploration, treasure hunting, warfare, and dark heroic storytelling.

Treskva is a land where honor can start a war, where a broken promise may awaken powers buried for centuries, and where glory is measured not by wealth but by the stories carved into the memories of survivors.

Gather your companions. Sharpen your steel. Trust no prophecy.

The grasslands are waiting.

Treskva: Savage Lands of Oath and Iron
Shattered Realms Vol. II

In the shattered age beyond forgotten empires, only strength, courage, and iron endure.
