Crux of Eternity is a D&D 4e tabletop roleplaying game (although we just updated to fifth edition) following the adventures of the Shields of the Sorrowfell as they adventure through the Sorrowfell Plains (the location is deliberately vague, but if you have your Nentir Vale map handy, or even your Conquest of Nerath map floating around, it’s somewhere west of the Stonemarch).

The game ostensibly takes place in the “core” Points of Light setting, albeit about 50 years after everything collapsed rather than 100 years after the fall of Nerath. This line is marked by the “Cackledread War,” as residents of the Sorrowfell Plains call it, when the gnolls swept through civilization and wiped out everything. The larger settlements of the Sorrowfell Plains survived reasonably well, but many smaller ones did not recover.

Those who wish for a slightly more detailed introduction to Crux of Eternity ought to read A Brief History of the Sorrowfell Plains. Interested parties may also learn more information by reading the answers to twenty questions about the Sorrowfell Plains.

Strange Events

While the heroes were trekking on the road to Six Kings, there was an accident in the goblin slums. Interested parties should read about the escape from the tomb of Theronna Onyxarm (and you can also read Escape from the Tomb of Theronna Onyxarm, Part 2).

Shortly after the initial incident, a foreign group of adventurers also found their way into the Tomb of Theronna Onyxarm. Interested parties should read of their exploits.

When the foreigners returned home to the Isle of Anhak, they began their own adventures. Interested parties may read about them here.
