Rise of Takhisis

GM codexgigas · 0 players

Avert the cataclysmic return of Takhisis in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game. In an audacious bid for power, the Cult of the Takhsis leads the charge in an unholy campaign to resurrect the dead Queen of Dragons. Alongside their dragon allies and the a faction of power-hungry Knights of the Thorn, they sweep from town to town, laying waste to all those who oppose them and gathering a hoard of riches for their dread queen. The threat of annihilation has become so dire that groups as disparate as the Citadel of Light and Knights of Neraka are banding together to fight the cult. The heroes must succeed, or the cultists will disturb the balance of Krynn that keeps Chaos at bay. Regardless of the quest's outcome, the world will never be the same.

The Queen of Many Colors and None is dead.

She is not widely mourned. Even her dark consort, Sargonnas the God of Vengeance, sheds no tears for her. Briefly, she was mourned by Mina, her most devoted follower. However, even Mina has come to learn the depths of Takhisis' deception and has forsaken her former queen.

Across Ansalon, mortals curse her name, for her fall from heaven also unseated the Platinum Dragon, Paladine, who now walks the earth in the form of the elf Valthonis. The Walking God chose mortality to preserve the Balance and preserve life on Ansalon. His former followers mourn his sacrifice and devotion, honoring his memory. Of the two great dragons, only one is mourned.

But there are those who would see Takhisis restored. Her ogres struggle to find purpose without her guidance, even as they still blame her for their ancient fall from grace. Goblins and draconians might flock to her banner again, as they did of old, if only someone would raise it. And there are those, lurking in the shadows, who have begun to put a plan into motion. For should the dead god rise, the Balance would be destroyed. Darkness would cover the face of Ansalon, and a new Age of Dragons would begin to replace the Age of Mortals.

Eons ago, in the Age of Starbirth, the Queen of Dragons poured her power into a great artifact, the Mask of the Dragon Queen, which she used to corrupt the first dragons to her cause. Now, her last cultists seek to reunite the scattered pieces of this artifact. They hope to use the divine power stored within to return Takhisis to life and power. Even now, in the Solamnic province of Southlund, the Cult of Takhisis begins to stir, putting their fell schemes into motion.

The Queen of Many Colors and None is dead... for now.
