To my esteemed friends,
After an extensive search of ancient tome and family records I have come across the secret to our fortune. A tenuous ancestral connection has given me title to lands near the Shallow Sea, deep in the Shrinelands. I suspect that in such untamed lands title means little, which is why I seek your aid to claim this stronghold. Towards this I would call upon our friendship and offer as a boon each of you a share of one-tenth the title.
More important than any mere legality is what I have found of arcane practicality. A record of pass phrases and perils of nearly all twenty-seven levels. With this in hand we will surely lay claim to…
THE TOWER OF MADNESS
Shrinelands V: The Tower of Madness will be a sword and sorcery campaign. Characters will be associates of Kelmos, distant descendant of the Tower Mage and minor scholar.
At some point in the past Kelmos has come to your aid from some dire and unforeseen circumstances, consider this when formulating your backstory - and now he calls upon you in return.
