In Short: Join Sir Merrick The Bold, a skeleton knight, as she tends to and defends the ancient temple of Saint Jerome from the dangers lurking in the Autumn-Tide forests and the hidden horrors seeking to escape the vaults deep below.

What's It About: In the time before the eternal decay came to the Autumn-Tide forests, Sir Merrick was a knight in the service of the temple of Saint Jerome. The vaults below that temple served as a repository for artifacts of considerable power–some laced with timeless curses that could warp the world and those caught within their area of influence.

An ancient artifact that can call up armies of werebeasts transformed Sir Merrick into the undead entity she is today, and she has stood guard at this crumbling temple for centuries in an effort to protect this ancient amulet from falling into anyone else's hands.

However, a warlock tiefling with a flair for the culinary arts may provide an opponent that Sir Merrick can not defend against.

You decide how these two charming and lore rich characters will interact and who will be left to watch over the cursed artifact known as the Eye of Hazradoom.

Every item, monster, spell, and creature featured in this Zine integrates with the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset, offering versatility for incorporation into both core adventures and third-party materials. Journey into the Autumn-Tide forests and discover a rich world of legacy and lore hidden beneath the canopy of endless autumn.

What Is An Adventure Seed: An Adventure Seed is a fully crafted narrative designed to inspire and enrich your TTRPG table. Each seed includes one or more lore heavy NPCs complete with game mechanics, unique items, and detailed stats. For the Autumn Tide series, these seeds may also feature a new monster with stats, abilities, and motivations unique to the Autumn Tide setting, as well as a location with environmental effects, intriguing new items or maps that are rich with lore, and supplemental information to seamlessly integrate into your game setting. 

Whether you’re looking for a quick one-shot idea or a springboard for an epic campaign, an Adventure Seed provides the tools and storytelling spark you need to bring your world to life.
