Ythryn Expanded Tower of Illusion - maps and extra content for Rime of the Frostmaiden

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Title

The Tower of Illusion was one of eight towers of magic in the ancient floating Netherese city of Ythryn. Now the tower, along with the city, lies trapped in a frozen tomb. The wizards of this great tower are either long dead or have lost their minds to madness. Yet the tower still holds powerful magic waiting to be tapped.

This supplement is one of several short expansions to the locations in Ythryn with the following objectives:

  • Expand on the Eight Arcane Towers, making each one its own mini-dungeon adventure with exciting challenges and clear direction for the DM.
  • Provide Detailed Maps, for an immersive experience in person or on a virtual tabletop, rather than a brief 'theatre-of-mind' scene.
This supplement presents the events that occur in the Tower of Illusion as an alternate to those described on page 255 of Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. Additionally, this supplement references the Hall of Silk described on page 244 of the book. As always, it is up to you how much of the content you want to use. It's perfectly fine to use some parts of this supplement while discarding others, or simply let the ideas presented here inspire new ideas of your own. This supplement assumes a party of 4–6 characters of 9–11th level.
Adventure Summary: 

After their arrival at the Tower of Illusion, the party will be greeted by the programmed illusion of High Illusionist Ajamar. Ajamar asks the party to perform a scene of the play he wrote in his final hours in exchange for any information he was programmed to hold (including a line of the Rite of the Arcane Octad). The party will have to perform the scene as best they can, suffering the consequences of a poor performance at the hands of the twisted illusory audience. Once the party completes the scene, Ajamar's illusion provides the party with the information they seek. Additionally, Ajamar provides a small riddle giving the party a chance to claim some extra treasure in the tower.

Might be my favorite of the towers! I mixed things up by having Avarice's party also investigating the tower at the same time, so there were dueling performances, but other than that ran it as is. The play bit is just FUN! My players loved [...]

I'm rating this 5 stars because it is very well made, however, the Tower of Illusion in particular is not likely to be a hit with every group. This tower is going to put 4 of your players into an acting scenario where they have to read a script [...]

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.
