Fogheart: The Torso of The Giant King

Fogheart is an island situated in the middle of The Black Lake, surrounded by a mysterious fog that moves like a living breath. This small setting and sandbox adventure allows you to explore different locations around the island, meet its inhabitants, and uncover the mystery that connects it to the ancient history of The Forest.

Once upon a time, long before the heyday of the plains folk and the inevitable fall of their empire, deep within the forest, there was a mythical creature that stood upon all the others. Some of the old and forgotten tales, only remembered by the eldest roots, refer to this creature as an implacable tyrant who ruled with an iron fist. There are songs that birds keep secret that speak about the benevolence of this colossal presence, who supposedly wandered through the forest transforming every inch of soil into blooming life. Truth is The Giant King didn’t seem to welcome the arrival of foreigners, and soon enough, a war happened.

Fogheart: The Torso of The Giant King is the first installment in a series of modular adventures that revolve around the scattered remains of an ancient creature that once ruled over the forest. You can use them separately, or combine them into a bigger campaign setting that develops all over The Forest, a place full of mystery and forgotten magic. 

This project was submitted to the Cairn: Forests of Another Name jam.

Greetings friend.  After running this adventure with my friends, I must say, I am impressed! Every aspect of this is wonderful, from the relics to locations to how 'tied together' and coherent everything feels. Not to mention the art is beautiful. Amazing work!

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad your group had a good time playing the adventure.

Beautiful!  The art and the setting/adventure is so creative.  I would buy this if there was a "Pay with Card" option.

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you liked the adventure.

I'm running this next week, with Cairn 2e, very excited about it.

Amazing! I hope you have a great time. Cairn 2e rules.

Hello! Are there any community copies left?

Hi! I'm adding some more right now, my idea is that there are always some available, 

Great adventure! Is the wizard's name intentionally changed every so often in the text? If it is, that's cool, but wanted to let you know in case it was a typo!

It is a typo!! I will be updating the pdf with corrections as soon as I'm able to. Thanks for your notice.

Just saw this after submitting my own OSR June Jam game and I gotta say the art really drew me in. Look forward to reading it in detail and running in the future!

Thanks! I'd love to hear your thoughts if you run it sometime 

So is Acuta’s invisibility cloak actually mislabelled or does the wizard not actually have it? Its confusing to have an NPC want something that isn’t actually in the game, but something *quite like it* is.

As the text says, the wizard has the cloak, but is not an "invisibility" one. Instead; is just a cloak that can't bee seen by the human eye . It was a silly play on words that serves as a minor hook that the players may be interested in. The cloak is intended to be the one that was stolen from Acuta. 

I agree that maybe it is a little confusing, so I will clarify this in future corrections. Thank you so much for your input.
