The Tears Of Calista

Publisher: Grim & Perilous StudiosThe town of Blenner’s Crag sits perilously close to Castle Wardstone, a forlorn, haunted place burdened by an ancient curse. Once every ten years the revenant of Calista Esari returns to haunt the place of her death, her tortuous cries a clarion call to those with corruption in their hearts. Calista’s tears hold terrible power, and when the time is right, and as the curse demands, Calista walks among those gathered to offer that power to Fate’s Chosen.
Unfortunately for the people of Blenner’s Crag, the cries of the revenant are a sign to barricade themselves behind locked doors, leaving their crops and livelihoods in the fields at the mercy of those attracted to the castle. One resident of ‘The Crag’ has had enough, however. Erbol Oppleood, tired of losing his cattle to marauders and thieves, decides to drive his herd to the nearest city. It is during his journey he chances across the player characters in the midst of a heroic deed and decides they are just the folk to put an end to such things as revenants and curses once and for all.
However, there is more to the curse than meets the eye. The player characters soon find themselves in a place where alliances are forged, old scores are settled, secrets are buried and where disputes are set aside long enough to hold the crumbling castle walls against determined foes.
Will the player characters find themselves among Fate’s Chosen, their names inscribed in the Book of the Damned? Will they be tempted to take the power of the revenant’s tears for themselves, killing those that stand in their way, or will they step forth as heroes and try to put an end to a centuries’ old curse?
The Tears of Calista can be played as a standalone adventure, but can easily be used to enhance any ongoing campaign simply by adding non-playing characters and factions already known to the player characters. Will the player characters’ enemies become allies and their friends become their would-be assassins as everyone fights to get their hands on the Tears of Calista?
