Welcome to Tor, a land of ancient magic, sleepy towns, and whispered legends. Life has always been simple—until now.
Strange things have been happening across the realm:
• Travelers speak of creatures never before seen, roaming the forests and skies…
• Entire villages report strange curses, spreading like wildfire without explanation…
• And in the darkest corners of the land, the dead are beginning to rise.
In the bustling town of Greybend, four strangers meet in a tavern for their very first mission.
Their task? Help sweet Old Lady Nessa with a rat problem in her cellar.
But what begins as a small job quickly spirals into something far greater—and far more dangerous—than anyone could have expected.
“The Quest” is a Dungeons & Dragons jump-in adventure perfect for new players and experienced adventurers alike. Dive into an epic story full of mystery, magic, monsters, and more!
All materials provided—just show up on time, ready to play! No experience needed. Just bring your imagination and your sense of adventure.
Dare to take the first step? The world of Tor awaits.
