"This adventure is written in an excellent manner, full of engaging narrative elements and with great care to detail. I find the narrative intertwines perfectly with the combats to create a good balance of story beats, without the presence of empty encounters. Personally, I consider this adventure to be of better quality than the Starter Set." Filippo M.



"This adventure is an excellent snag for anyone looking to grab a newer and more mature intro to D&D. As I was reading it, I kept getting feelings of Warcraft II, Diablo, Wheel of Time, The Black Cauldron, and other classical fantasy books and video games. With excellent layout, well-balanced combat and roleplay encounters, and a cast of NPCs that truly make the players want to connect and get invested in the adventure; Marco has done a great job of taking those features of European game-making - heavy storytelling, heavy action, heavy adventure, and close attention to visuals - to the greater D&D world." Cameron D.

"This is a fantastic adventure if you are looking for something a bit more mature than the Lost Mines of Phandelver to start your dnd adventure" Brad R.
