The Five Temples of the Earthmother Part 1: Life and Moon

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome to Alaron and the quest to re-awaken the temples of an ancient god...

The Five Temples of the Earthmother is a series of short adventures for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. Broken into chapters, which take place on the Island of Alaron in the Moonshae Isles of the Forgotten Realms, each chapter in the series details a different adventure site. Each site is a lost temple dedicated to the Earthmother, the force representing the primal essence of nature and life, a revered force in the Moonshaes.

Built for characters levels 1-3 and featuring:

    • Nine New Monsters
    • Two New Magic Items
    • Original maps for each area
    • 12 hours of gameplay for your table
    • 21 pages of new content

Life and Moon is the first in The Five Temples of the Earthmother series and will continue with 'Beast And Shipwreck,' also from Encoded Designs (date not set).

Baldman Games has been given permission to create official Moonshae Isles content. We have worked with them to create the final three temples: Beasts, Sun, and Death. A preview of these adventures premiered at the Winter Fantasy game convention a couple weeks ago. They must now go through revision, editing, and layout, and when they are ready they will be available on the DMs Guild. I cannot give an exact date for release, but it will be in the next six months, and hopefully sooner. In the meantime, you can find more great Moonshae Isles content from Baldman Games on the Guild:

Thanks for reaching out. Baldman Games is in control of the release schedule, so it is completely in their court. They release content in trilogies. The Five Temples adventures are the 7th trilogy in their library, and they have just released Trilogy 3. That means they need to release Trilogies 4, 5, and 6 before ours. I wish I could give you a definite time frame. I was told 6 months after premiering they would be released, which has just passed, and it doesn't seem close to ready, so that's the best I can tell you. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

Thanks very much Shawn for letting me know. It's a shame since the first one was really good and my players would have been very happy to have continued with it, but I will have to assume it'll be way too far in the future to wait now for the sequel to come out :(

Through a little research I'm a little concerned that this second module will never come out. There are several forums on it and even a small web article about how part two was supposed to come out back in 2016. Is there really no additional part coming out for this great adventure?

Hey I am running this campaign for my players and they are severely enjoying it. Its a great deal of world building and challenge. I do however need the second part of this adventure and was wondering when that was going to be released?

For those who have been asking about updates, I should have more information about this adventure, potential followups, and a Moonshae Isles Campaign Guide in a couple of weeks. I will post here and elsewhere when I get the all-clear to make the announcements. Thanks for your patience!

That would be wonderful, I have been waiting anxiously for those for some time. Just heard this getting discussed in your Origins panel, so understand why it hasn't happened yet, but I really look forward to it actually coming to fruition.

So it's been months since the last update (promised weeks), and it took you two years to take down the text 'Beast and Shipwreck coming in the second half of 2016'. The lack of basic communication by members of a professional development team, to people who have spent money on your module, and have been looking for updates on a 2nd and 3rd part for literally, years, is frankly incomprehensible and inexcusable.

Picture this: take a person looking to run a Moonshae campaign. They are a busy person and is looking to run a real campaign for the first time. They want to start with some guidance and cool maps. The DM buys a module with the promise of more content coming in ~6 months. He then read through the module it and likes it, so they go in with the understanding that these things take time and that time estimates by developers are sketchy at best. That person says, 'Cool I can milk this and add in some of my own ideas, a boat-load of random encounters, and maybe some side-quests for about 6-10 sessions'...See more

Shawn was hoping you could provide an update in regards to the release of Part 2 and the Moonshae Player's guide.

Last update I see is over 6 months ago.

Thanks!

We alle had great fun with this adventure and I hooked into a greater campaign.
Still really hoping for part two to be released or re-released so we can revisit this part of the adventure and complete the consecration of all five temples.

Bought and played this back in March of 2016... came to see if part two was ever released, turns out it wasn't. Description for this product still states that part 2 will be released in 2016. Is there an ETA on the part 2, or is this dead in the water?

The authors just talked about this on the most recent episode of their Down with D&D podcast and confirmed that they will finish the Moonshae Player’s Guide and the next Moonshae adventure “Temple of the Beast. No date was given yet.

So, I've purchased and am about to run this module. Figure it will take 2 sessions to complete. Any idea when the next module or modules will be published? I may find myself making up the next couple temples myself otherwise.

We are currently working on some player content for Moonshae-based characters. That is in development and playtest currently. When that is completed, the next adventure should follow soon after. Thanks!

Just purchased, and looking forward to running it in the near future, as it looks great, but any ETA on the above mentioned Player Content? That will determine if I volunteer to run next for our group, as I would love to build a whole campaign set in the Moonshae's, and that information would be great to have before beginning it.

So I read through the adventure and it looks great, I'm gonna run it for some friends soon. One thing is really strange to me though, at the beginning it says you should give the players one or more of the rumours, but none of the rumours ever come up in the rest of the adventure. I don't know if maybe they're gonna come up in the next adventure, but I'm kinda worried that if I start by saying "There's a Great Druid who disappeared" or "The king's Son has been taken", it's gonna be kinda weird when the King is only interested in them helping with the temples.

Great Module! I've been running a Moonsea campaign and this really captured the Celtic heritage/feel of that part of the realms... My only question... How do you pronounce "Failbhe"?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
