Burials of Teganshire for 5E

The small village of Teganhsire is in disarray as the workers sent to repair the bridge never came back to town, and rumors spread that a monster has killed them all. Hired PCs investigate the situation, but find themselves thrown into a maelstrom of druidic intrigue and repercussions of an old feud between the village and forest spirits.

Burials of Teganshire is a module for level 1-3 characters that can be used in any campaign setting (commercial or homebrew). It is the first module of the Circle of the Blood Moon adventure path that will take characters to level 10, through a long campaign filled with complex encounters and ancient mysteries.

Griffon Lore Games designs our modules to be:

Campaign Setting Agnostic. We wanted to propose a module that can be inserted in any campaign world. The Kingdom of Lothmar is our own setting, and in the appendix of the module, we provide guidance on how to play this adventure in this setting. However, we designed it so that if you want to play the module in your own setting, you totally can. How do we achieve that? First off the action of the module is local, it spans an area of about 15 miles wide, that you can easily plug into your preferred setting. Also, we made sure to strip any lore or NPC behavior that would not be applicable to most settings, offering the possibility to play it as it is, or DMs to add their custom lore-specific content to their liking.

Heroic Story Centric. We want players to feel like heroes. Our modules are tough and complex because players do not like to feel their progression is undeserved. Nothing beats a party of players cheering at each other after a tough battle. We also believe that actions should have consequences and our modules include many different possible endings based on how the players behaved. Compelling stories are supported by motivated and plausible NPCs. We have designed this module so that every NPC's motivations and perspectives are described, giving DMs the tools to bring the environment to life.

Burials of Teganshire is a module that brings together the investigation of a murder mystery and the combat elements of a dungeon-crawl adventure. For those of you who intend to play the complete adventure path, the conclusion of the module also offers different possible endings - based on the decisions of the PCs - and how these branch off to the second module in the series. We want this journey to wrap around your players and put them in the driver's seat, instead of forcing them on a set of rails they will have to follow.
