Bastion of Blood and Iron is a thrilling new D&D 5e/5.5e module crafted for adventurers level 5–8 who crave old-school Sword and Sorcery action. In this dark and immersive campaign, heroes venture into a cursed, ancient prison where brutal combat, forbidden magic, and epic lore collide to test their mettle against both monstrous foes and their own inner demons.Deep within the desolate Blacktooth Mountains stands the Bastion—a fortress originally built by proud orc clans to imprison traitors and dishonored warriors. Over the centuries, its walls have soaked up the blood and sorrow of countless battles, warping its legacy into a repository of cursed power. Now, ruthless Orc Warlords led by the fearsome General Vrax are rallying their forces, determined to break through its seals and release the imprisoned souls to bolster their armies for a new era of conquest. Throughout your journey, you'll explore ten meticulously designed locations—from the shattered remnants of The Cracked Gate and the echoing mysteries of The Echoing Corridor to the haunted depths of The Crypts of Lament and the perilous descent into The Abyssal Spiral, culminating in the fiery chaos of The Infernal Crucible. Along the way, you'll encounter a host of unforgettable NPCs such as General Vrax, Korzul the Forsaken, and the cryptic Vok’thar the Bone-Oracle, while battling formidable monsters like the Bone-Crowned Chieftain, Eldritch Forsaken, and the maddening Whispering Hunger Spawn—all leading to the climactic showdown with the primordial eldritch force known as The Whispering Hunger.Join us on this epic quest and help bring Bastion of Blood and Iron to life.
