Shadows of the Forgotten Shrine
Rural horror meets investigation in the Shattered Veil’s opening chapter.
Three villagers from Thornhaven have vanished into the cursed Blackwood Forest. The party is hired to investigate — but the forest has a keeper, the shrine predates every settlement in the region, and the missing villagers aren’t just lost. They’re being kept.

The Tone
Gothic rural horror. Think The Wicker Man by way of classic D&D. The dread builds slowly, the woods are wrong, and the people keeping secrets are the ones who asked for help. Combat is present but not the solution — clever investigation and difficult choices drive the story.
