The trail leads downward… into the darkness beneath the city.
With new clues pointing toward the mysterious Shattered Blade, the party descends into Zolara's sprawling sewer system in search of answers. What begins as a straightforward investigation quickly becomes something far stranger as whispers of goblins spread through the tunnels and unlikely allies emerge from the shadows.
Swoop, the bold Aarakocra sorcerer; Poppy, the witty Elf bard; Nico, the disciplined Dragonborn fighter; and Brin, the clever halfling ranger/monk venture deeper beneath the floating city, where they encounter Karma, a wandering tortle, a curious druid with more questions than answers, and signs that someone—or something—has been moving through the undercity. As the hunt for the Shattered Blade continues, every turn seems to uncover a new mystery.
Because in the Empire, the truth is rarely found in the light.
