Adventure Preview

Some hundreds of years ago, a group of grateful humans pledged themselves to the service of the gold dragon Miraxacalas in return for her aid in saving their city from an extraplanar threat. Though she graciously declined their offer, they would not be deterred and moved their whole community to a spot closer to her home. There they established the town of Silversands along the banks of a wide river near the mountains where Miraxacalas lived. Named for the silvery color of the sandy riverbank, Silversands grew and prospered. The people provided the dragon with whatever she requested, and she protected the town from the predations of large creatures and bands of giants.

The gold dragon's hoard has swelled with the gifts that the townspeople have rendered up every year, but she considers the town itself, with its population of loyal friends, to be the most valuable treasure of all.

But such a prize could not remain uncontested for long. An ambitious black dragon named Vrinthralix Venrakkanax wants to expand his hoard by wresting treasure from other dragons, and he possesses the perfect weapon for doing so.

It didn't take long for Vrinthralix to assume control of Silversands. Its people now unwillingly serve him, fearing the consequences if they disobey. They don't have the skills or magic to best the old black wyrm, and Miraxacalas hasn't been seen in weeks.

We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

PURCHASER
Ian, while I think that free is free, I like that you mention here that it WAS free for A LONG TIME. Let's be honest here, if you can't afford $0.99 for an adventure, you need to take care of business FIRST. And if you're complaining about $0.99 for an adventure, I wouldn't want to test your generosity at Christmas time. I'm just sayin'. Also, I'm a believer in lawyers getting their just due when they successfully represent a client. The law isn't a "tangible" commodity so, a lawyer should be paid for his/her time. Same for a programmer working on a computer program and a network guy/lady doing his/her work and a WEBSITE selling GOOD MATERIAL and HOSTING SAID MATERIAL on their infustructure and servers. I support you wholeheartedly for selling this product at $0.99. Now, if it were $80.00 or something, I think that might be a bit harsh, but I think you get my point. I believe the $0.99 price is MORE than generous for those of us that missed these adventures when they were free. What I finish...See more

This adventure was originally advertised and released as free, and now it isn't. It was distributed over the internet as a free adventure. Now it isn't.

The product description does not mention this in the product history, for obvious reasons. However, you, the purchaser, should know this. Here is where it was first released, on the Wizards of the Coast website. The download link no longer works, of course.

Now this product is only a dollar, but compared to how it was originally distributed that is a large increase. And it's quite strange too. Most people that would have cared about this adventure got it when it was free - and it was free for a long time. I'm surprised enough people are buying these justify charging for them. A handful of exceptions aside there isn't much in this series actually worth a dollar.

Edit - I have now looked at more product pages in this series. It is interesting to note that...See more

I would like to retract my insinuations in the edit. I have since found instances of this reviewer leaving a somewhat, partially negative review of one of these, and leave a mention of the fact that they used to be free.

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.
