Thelanis: The Moonlit Garden

The trees bend, twist and rearrange themselves as the sun fades, replaced by a single massive moon hanging high in the sky. You find yourself somewhere altogether different with bigger more gnarled trees, everything more vibrant with color in the bright moonlight. The bold browns, purples and blues around you don't feel real, more like something from a beautiful painting. Yet here you stand...

This is a one-shot adventure through one of the twisted fairy tale baronies of Thelanis. In it, the players find themselves in a strange land seeking an item they know little about. They will encounter a village whose people have been turned to shrubs, be shrunk down to a 20th of their size in a garden of tiny trees, fight a tree which is also a beholder, and come face to face with the Lady in Shadow herself.

The adventure is intended for four level 5 players and is expected to take around five hours. It is a great introduction to the planes of Eberron for DMs and players alike.

It includes:

• An exciting mystery to unravel 

• Three vicious new monsters to fight: earth bear, topiary beast, and the treeholder

• Simple rules for running a skill challenge

• A series of detailed maps for each combat encounter and an image for the puzzle encounter
