I’ve never been more proud of the Guild Adepts as they work furiously to bring Eberron fans everywhere one of the MOST exciting adventure series yet crafted for the setting. They are the epitome of collaborative creativity as a group of individuals that work with each other virtually, spanning the world from North America to the UK to Australia. I honestly can’t wait to reach out to EVERY corner of the world where D&D fans come together to add even greater cultural diversity of masterful fandom to this extremely talented cadre. And now… a few words from the acting editor of this project, James Introcaso.

Master Raconteur & Guildmaster

“The Last War has ended - sort of.” To me, these are Keith Baker’s most important words in the Eberron Campaign Setting first published in 2004. They evoke the intrigue, action, and tension that make Eberron one of the game’s most unique settings. This statement sets the mood for a neo-noir story unlike any other.

The Dungeon Masters Guild Adepts are pleased to announce a new D&D Adventurers League storyline set in Sharn. Embers of the Last War is a twelve-adventure campaign that sees the characters face off against governments, criminal organizations, and dragonmarked houses while attempting to uncover a mystery that could reignite the Last War. The adventures take place in Eberron’s story-rich City of Towers, a place filled with magic, secrets, and shadowy thrills.

The storyline kicks off with What’s Past is Prologue, an adventure for 0-level characters by Alan Patrick, with simple rules for 0-level character creation included. The adventure is set in the final days of the Last War before the Day of Mourning and introduces new and experienced players to Eberron and the Embers of the Last War storyline. At the end of What’s Past is Prologue, the characters are retired from play, and 1st-level characters are built to take you through the rest of the campaign.

DDAL-ELW00: What’s Past is Prologue will be available September 21st on the DMs Guild, with the others releasing every Friday in order. Uncover the mystery of Embers of the Last War in these upcoming 4-hour adventures.
