People in the poorer, more crowded neighbourhoods of the City of Copven are getting sick. Disease is spreading and swarms of biting and stinging insects have been reported frequently in the homes of the most afflicted. Sightings of these creatures emerging from the sewer grates and drains below have prompted the city to send workers down below to investigate. When these workers did not return, a group of city guards followed.

As a last ditch effort to get to the bottom of this, the Commander of the City Watch and scraped the bottom of his jails and come up with you, all of who are here convicted of a criminal offense. The deal is simple, learn the truth stop the problem, and you leave the sewers free, if not, then you don't leave at all. Can you win your freedom and survive the Lair of the Rot King?

Bring dangerous treasures, cursed power, and dark temptation to your D&D 5e games.

Cursed Compendium: 100 Relics of Ruin is a collection of cursed magical items designed for D&D 5th Edition, built to add danger, mystery, and meaningful consequences to your adventures.

Each relic offers something useful, tempting, or powerful, but never without a price.

These are not simple treasures to be looted and forgotten. Every relic is a story seed, a moral problem, and a future complication waiting to happen.

Whether you are running a grim fantasy campaign, a gothic horror adventure, a cursed dungeon crawl, or a morally complicated sandbox, these relics can be dropped directly into your game as rewards, threats, plot hooks, or the beginning of something much worse.

Inside you’ll find

163 cursed relics in total

Including the core collection and all unlocked relics.

Major and minor relics

From powerful cursed artifacts to strange fragments, tokens, charms, and dangerous curiosities.

Five thematic categories of ruin

Blood
Violence, sacrifice, war, and brutal hunger.

Desire
Obsession, ambition, beauty, and the cost of wanting too much.

Faith
Corrupted miracles, sacred cruelty, and divine punishment.

Decay
Disease, entropy, rot, and the slow collapse of body and soul.

Knowledge
Forbidden truths, prophecy, madness, and cosmic revelation.

Ready-to-use cursed items

Each relic includes a tempting benefit and a clear curse, cost, or consequence.

Designed for immediate use at the table

Perfect as treasure, campaign hooks, villainous tools, character temptations, or cursed rewards.

The adventurers stop over in a quiet seaside town on the night that a mob of angry fairies has chosen to evict the residents.

A Beneath the Crystal Sea (d20) adventure for parties level 1 and up.

This is a one-shot adventure written to be played with any tabletop
role playing game system set in a fantasy setting. If the stats or
names of mechanics do not match your game, use common sense
as a dungeon master and run with it. This is an unofficial fan made
supplement that is not associated with any major game company.

This campaign takes about 3 hours to run (3.5 - 4 if long winded
fights and going to extra locations). This is a one-shot (one session)
story that is easy to use to teach a game system.

*****

The year is 2120. You are citizens of Crudwalden, a major trade hub
of the nation of Hawkland. From the West hills a large goblin
warlord named Gron the Panchbowel has raised an army of
destruction ravaging through the lands of men to the North. Raiding
parties of orcs and goblins have pushed into the outskirts of town
destroying farms. Their small bands of greenies are pillaging food
and supplies to bring back to the main host army.

All able bodied men and women have been conscripted by the
Hawkland militia to aid in the defence of the nation. You have been
called to a local guard post to report, all that do not will be heavily
fined or worse.

Hunters, trackers, scouts, and wanderers bound to the supernatural wilderness of the Dark Frontier. Bushmasters read clues in broken branches, ripples in the water, animal cries, and shifting winds. Some believe the jungle itself talks to them.
