One goal for Dungeon in 2011 is greater diversity in adventure themes, levels, and settings.

February Adventure Hooks

Adventures grow best if their seeds are planted well before harvest time. Here are the seeds for February's adventures.

Beneath the Dust

By Jared Espley (Updated 3/21/2011)

Somewhere beneath the desert lies a seed from a primordial Tree of Life. This supernatural plant can bring life to broad regions, and that life equals power to defilers and sorcerer-monarchs. A primordial Tree is far more powerful than any others still alive, making this one a prize beyond price. An adventure for characters of levels 7-9.

Andok Sur

By Bill Slavicsek

Andok Sur is an ancient necropolis in the Nentir Vale’s northeastern reaches. It slumbered in eternal peace until the lich Magroth entered it and began raising an army of undead from Andok Sur's restful dead. Magroth failed, but the undead remain, casting their threat across the Old Hills and the surrounding area. An adventure locale for characters of levels 3-8.

Creature Incarnations: Duergar

By Craig Campbell (Updated 3/03/2011)

Duergar society is based on raiding, mining, slavery, and a strict caste system that rewards treachery. Their citadels are carved from rock and surrounded by defenses consisting of traps, monsters, and flowing lava. All of those elements are woven into a nightmare tapestry of subterranean tyranny.

Eye on Dark Sun

By Rodney Thompson
