Adventure Description:
In a thundering storm, an island appears off the Sword Coast. It shudders and flutters on the edge of existence, flickering like a candle in the wind.

As some ships pull against the storm and flee, others approach the island, carrying daring adventurers intent on saving the shipwrecked and discovering the secrets of the island itself. Learn what dangers lurk there and what manner of magic has brought it here.
Venture into original encounters of intrigue and peril, including monsters from the 2024 Monster Manual. Throughout play, your adventuring party selects encounters from more than a dozen scattered across the island. Choose your quests and change your fates.
