The Relic of the Revenant Knight

Setting:
The adventure takes place in the medieval village of Blackfen, a somber settlement on the edge of the haunted
Fenwood Forest. The villagers are grim and reserved, their lives overshadowed by the dark tales of the woods.

Narrative for the Game Master: “The village of Blackfen is shrouded in tales of the Revenant Knight, a once-noble
warrior who fell in battle under a cursed sky. It is said his spirit cannot rest until his lost relic, the Crest of Valor, is
returned to his tomb within the Fenwood Forest. The villagers have long avoided the forest, but now they fear the
knight’s unrest is bringing misfortune upon them. The village elder, a stern woman named Lady Gwendolyn, has
summoned you to find the Crest of Valor and lay the Revenant Knight to rest.”
