The Lost Histories of Aeryndor
D&D One Shot, Anthology Series
A land of fractured kingdoms, forbidden magic, and ancient pacts long forgotten—Aeryndor is a world built on the ruins of its own past. The Lost Histories of Aeryndor is an anthology of adventures, where each tale sheds light on the hidden truths, buried secrets, and lost legends that shape the world’s uncertain future. Though the players and locations change, each story is a thread in the grand tapestry of Eryndor, revealing pieces of a deeper mystery that spans centuries, continents, and civilizations lost to time.
At the heart of the series is Vel Drannon, a land of shifting allegiances and growing tensions. From the shadowed alleys of Lunessra, where power is bought with blood and gold, to the depths of Vraelith’s Scar, where cosmic forces whisper to those who dare listen, each adventure uncovers a new chapter in Eryndor’s forgotten past. Some stories take to the storm-tossed seas of the Veyrissian, where pirate myths may hold more truth than legend, while others descend into the depths of ruined cities, unearthing relics that should have remained lost.
The past refuses to stay buried, and the heroes who step into these stories—mercenaries, scholars, thieves, and exiles—find themselves caught in the tide of something greater than themselves. A smuggled relic in one tale may be the key to an ancient ward in another. The ambitions of a rising noble might be tied to the whispers of an eldritch power, waiting in the void beyond.
The Lost Histories of Aeryndor is more than a series of one-shots. It is a living, evolving chronicle where every story matters, every choice leaves a mark, and every truth uncovered shapes the fate of what is yet to come.
Will you leave your name in history, or be swallowed by the myths that came before?
Adventures in this anthology
ASHES OF TOMORROW
In the highlands of Vaelgar, nestled between wind-carved cliffs and misted pine forests, lies the village of Emberhold—a quiet, pious settlement devoted to Aetheris, the Light Eternal. For generations, they have protected a single, radiant phoenix egg, passed down through the centuries, sealed within the Sanctum of Flame beneath the village shrine. The villagers believe the egg is a gift from Aetheris himself, the last ember of the phoenix who once lit the skies in the Age of Dawnfire. Prophecy holds that in the year of twin eclipses, the phoenix shall return, reborn in fire, bringing with it an era of renewal and light. That year is now. But two nights ago, the egg was stolen. The protective flames surrounding the sanctum dimmed. The shrine cracked. The village elder collapsed in the temple square, her final words before slipping into unconsciousness: “If the egg is not returned before the eclipse… the light will fade forever.”
The Silent Tide
In Lunessra, the City of Eternal Glow, secrets flow like wine, and fortunes are made in the shadows. Darius Goldthorn, a well-connected broker of illicit goods, has asked for your help to investigate a missing ship—one carrying a shipment he claims to have insured himself. A simple job—ask the right questions, follow the right leads, and find out what happened before the trail runs cold. The search will take players deep into Lunessra’s seedy underbelly, where whispers of The Silent Tide—an old sailor’s myth—resurface once more. They speak of tides that rise and fall with the moon, those that move unseen, leaving only silence in their wake. It is up to you to determine what is legend... and separate the myth from the deathly truth.
A Dance of Hidden Blades
You are cordially invited to attend the Veilmoon Masquerade hosted by the wealthy and eccentric noble, Lord Elric Vantraith, at his remote estate. The event is the talk of the region, promising a night of intrigue, entertainment, and extravagant wealth. However, the celebration takes a grim turn when a mysterious tragedy strikes a high-profile guest. The doors are locked, the magical wards activated, and no one can leave until the culprit is found.
