Sorrowwraiths (5.5e)

Sorrowwraiths is a dark, urban adventure with Victorian-era aesthetics, gothic-horror monsters, and Witcher-esque ethical dilemmas. It is set in a colonial metropolis plagued by monsters and curses, dealing with the advancing industrial age and its many accompanying issues – poverty, pollution, exploitation, etc. The city has lost its previous group of heroic defenders, and the player characters must pick up the torch and solve a variety of problems including:
- Rescuing allies from the clutches of monsters and despair alike; saving communities from threats within and without; setting up a home base
- Stopping a brilliant-and-vile scientist from infecting the city with a new vampiric affliction
- Venturing into the city’s haunted magic school and rescuing its students from a pair of hags
- Defending the city from bloodthirsty revolutionaries (but also maybe toppling the tyrannical regime)
- Figuring out who or what has cursed their city, and finding a way to not only save it but right its wrongs too

The book contains: one haunted magic school, one revolution, 176 enemy statblocks, 106 battle maps, 5 NPC companions, no AI content, several sad monologues, buckets of despair, and one faint ray of hope.
