| LA-AP4-01 | Queen's Castle | James Zwiers | 1-14 | Currently Available |
| Two years ago, the city of Semar in the Republic of Altheria became a testing ground for many heroes – and a field of nightmares for many others. The city is now home to an annual Festival of Retribution. The heroes of the Battle of Semar have been invited as guests of honor, but behind this facade of levity are found the shadows of a gathering darkness. Altheria is gripped with worry over economic sanctions and reductions in the size of the Shining Patrol. Who now will hold back the scaled hordes of Ssethregore?
This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for 1st to 14th level characters (APL 2 through 13). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario. | - |

| LA-AP4-02 | Bane of Light | James Zwiers & M. Sean Molley | 1-16 | Currently Available |
| Prices of goods in Savona are on the rise, as the merchant's guild complains about massive losses in the Gulf of Yarris due to the attacks of privateer fleets. Strangely, Altherian ships are reporting no issues, while the Milandisian Navy has issued warnings to merchants - warnings that call for armed escort. Daring, courage, and possibly the tender smile of Larissa are needed if you are to unravel the truth behind these watery dangers. Every sailor knows that Yarris sheds no tears for those who die upon the waves. This adventure is Part One of the Tears of Yarris series. | - |

| LA-AP4-03 | Shadows of a Forsaken Past | James Zwiers | 4-16 | *Currently Available* |
| The Wall of the Gods has fallen; the Sealed Lands are Sealed no more. Elebac, Master-Smith of the Dwarves, has invited you to the Enclave of Solanos Mor to discuss rumors of an ancient tomb on the far side of the Wall of the Gods. Ancient words, only now understood, speak of a weapon beyond compare that was sealed within the tomb. What will you discover when you shine the light of the present upon the shadows of a forsaken past?
This adventure is equal parts roleplaying, wilderness exploration, and dungeon delve. While there is something in it for everyone, some characters, particularly those suited for adventuring within a more urban environment, may not find this adventure rewarding in some ways. Because of its length, this adventure is intended for Home Play only, and so it is not advised that conventions order this adventure. This adventure can easily require 20 or more hours to complete, so be prepared to schedule ample time for play. This adventure includes a special “Glory Tier” difficulty level, designed for those groups who are 15th level and higher who desire more of a challenge than usual (be warned, the Glory Tier includes no additional rewards beyond those of APL 15, and features combats that are considerably more difficult).
This adventure is classed as a Special because it contains elements of Standard adventures, some of the difficulty (at times) of a Delve, and the roleplaying aspects of a Story-Focused adventure. This adventure does not follow the standard rules on Time Unit costs. It requires a minimum of 70 TU; however, some of these Time Units may be drawn from the next year’s allotment if necessary.
This adventure draws upon materials presented in the Player’s Guide to Arcanis, Legacy of Damnation, Magic of Arcanis, and Forged in Magic: Revised and Expanded. While it is not required to have any of these books on hand to run this adventure, it is recommended. Although this adventure is designed to be run as part of the Living Arcanis shared-world campaign, it can be played and enjoyed by any group whose adventures take them to the World of Shattered Empires, and it can even be transplanted to other campaign worlds with some effort.
This adventure takes place in 1028 I.C. and as such is fixed chronologically before the Battle of Solanos Mor. Therefore, characters with the Attacker of the Enclave certificate may take part in this adventure. However, choices have consequences, and players of such characters should be advised that not all of the rewards available from the adventure will be given to PCs who later participated in the siege of Solanos Mor. | - |

Dwarves of Onara series.
WARNING: Dark-kin may find this module extremely frustrating and

| A One-Round d20 LIVING ARCANIS Adventure
The storm did chase our wounded ship
Faster than we be;
Skull-and-Bones flew in our path
Freeport-bound was she.
Captain he had seen our fate
And shouted unto me:
“Let’s die like men, for caught we are
Between the Devil and the deep blue sea.”
-- Merchantman’s sea chant, unknown origin
The adventuring life is difficult and dangerous. What could be more enjoyable than a pleasant sea voyage to take your mind off the travails of the road? (Note: This adventure is highly recommended as a good introduction to Arcanis for new players.) | - |

| Over the last few months, a number of Laerestri have failed to report back to Ethelios. This would not normally be cause for alarm; Those Who Roam often fail to make contact with the Vastwood for months or even years at a time. However, the last known locations of all the missing Elorii are surprisingly close together. Is this just a coincidence, or are the disappearances connected in some fashion? Players with Elorii PCs are encouraged, but not required, to play those PCs in this scenario. | - |

| A One-Round d20 LIVING ARCANIS Adventure The survivors of the recent Battle of Enpebyn told of a beautiful, ten-foot-tall Elorii woman clad in the purest shimmering white armor who helped turn the tide in the battle against the il'Huan horde. No one seemed to know who she was or where she came from, and the last time anyone saw her alive was when she dove into the Lavender Way to take the fight directly to the enemy. In the months since that battle ended, the Laerestri have been searching for any information about her, but to no avail. Now a summons has come for you from a most unlikely source -- the Council of Elders of Ethelios, capitol of the mighty Elorii nation of Elonbe. It seems that you are to be granted safe passage through the Vastwood for a meeting of great importance. But what could be so terrible that the Council feels the need to reach beyond its own borders for assistance for the first time in nearly four thousand years? Note: Players of Elorii PCs, particularly Suromari and Warders, are strongly encouraged to play those characters in this scenario. However, the party is not required to have any Elorii in order to succeed. | sean@basementsoftware.com |

| A One-Round d20 Living Arcanis Adventure The tears of a thousand years have salted the seas; tears shed in pain, tears shed in love, and tears shed in the rememberance of an ancient terror. However, that terror stalks the land, and the seas again. A lost cause sets sail under a blood-soaked dawn. Are you willing, able and foolish enough to champion their cause and search for the damned? And what if you should find them? Will you shed yet more blood into waters that are stained scarlet with the blood of a thousand years? This adventure is the first of the five Weekend in Freeport adventures for 2005. It is highly recommended that this adventure be played before any of the others, although it is not necessary. This adventure combines elements of wilderness and urban adventuring, and it is recommended that parties be adept at both. It is recommended that GMs have access to the Freeport: The City of Adventure book as published by Green Ronin Publishing, but it is not essential or required to run this adventure. | - |

| A One-Round d20 Living Arcanis Adventure Cloak-and-dagger dealings in the city of Freeport lead to twisted rumors of an ancient evil. Powerful foes dance within the twilight shadows. The ability to discern truth from falsehood is of questionable value when everyone lies. Nevertheless, you must separate fact from fiction, and quickly -- for time is running out on Freeport and everyone who dwells within. This adventure is a city-based investigation and roleplaying intensive adventure. Parties that rely on physical means to investigate matters may find themselves quickly frustrated in this adventure.

For too long the city has foundered over the matter of succession. Everyone, ranging from the clergy of Yarris, to the wealthy nobles of the posh Old City, to the various gangs and factions within the dirty sewers of Scurvytown, wants to see the crisis ended and a measure of order restored. One of the most important questions to be resolved centers around the identity of Drac's true heir. Perhaps the time has come for the truth to be revealed at last.
