Welcome to The Pool of Desultation, a Menagerie Press Westlands adventure location. A magical pool is hidden in the Springwater Woods east of the ruined city of Ardust, the once great capital of the Argent Swan kingdom. The adventurers must travel to the secret pool to exhume a preserved body resting under the black waters. To do so, the party needs to locate the pool, navigate through the poisonous lilies covering the pool’s surface, and retrieve their prize.
This adventure is designed for 3 to 5 Westlands characters.
In Westlands, we’ve taken the core open-license 2D6 fantasy reference material and are adding extra content, including reworked (more dangerous!) sorcery mechanics, optional rules for simple firearms, and an expanded bestiary.
The name Westlands is a nod to the West Marches RPG campaign style, which is a much more free-form, adventure-seeking campaign where the players decide their motivations and goals, rather than being directed via the game master.
Westlands is setting-neutral, and lets you create whatever adventure you imagine. It is built on the open-license reference material for Sword of Cepheus, which is a 2D6 fantasy RPG that is rooted in earlier 2D6 science-fiction RPGs.
