About the Book
Set in the Silk Road of our world, Herald of Rain is a standalone adventure module with countless hours of content, designed in an easy-to-run format for Game Masters.
Within Herald of Rain, the players are thrown into the heart of a world tied together in a web of intrigue and arcane cataclysm. In the eye of the hurricane lies Hasan Sabbah, his Hashashin Order, and their plans for vengeance, amidst which the adventurers soon become a loose end. To save their own skins and take down a horrendous threat to the Silk Road, the adventurers must ride west from city to city, and finally challenge Sabbah in his lair, the infamous Castle Alamut.
Throughout this journey that takes the players from one end of the Silk Road to the other, it will be the party's duty to stop assassinations of the Hashashin Order in each city. They will travel through legendary cities of Samarkand, the wartorn crown jewel of Asia; Merv, the city of merchant emirs; Isfahan, the last stronghold of the Sultanate; and Baghdad, the home of the Caliph and the House of Wisdom.
The world is expansive; danger lurks in every corner, whether in the world or in the wilderness; the rewards for success are riches beyond compare; and the knowledge of worlds beyond our own beckons.
