Does anyone know what "Hopeful Dawn" from Dungeon #41 is about?

It takes place in Veluna City and concerns a prophecy about a night when both moons are dark.

The local thieves guild plans to take advantage of the night (when most people hide indoors) and go on a crime spree. The PCs are there to stop them.

Apr 16, 2005 22:36:33 What were you hoping for?

As an aside, it's worth mentioning that "Hopeful Dawn" has quite a bit of backstory that sheds light on the worship of Rao and the politics of Veluna. It's not much, but we're talking about something that has had almost no development, so the adventure is somewhat useful even if the plot doesn't fit your campaign.

Apr 16, 2005 23:48:17 What I have planned for the future is an adventure for my playersto delve into Chathold to recover some items before it sinks into Relmor bay as prophesied by the storm giantess Heirennea. I have been trying to find some sort of adventure that at least contains a map of a ruined city.

Erik, if Dungeon magazine had a high-level adventure featuring an expedition into Chathold or some other recently ruined city that could be used for such an adventure, I would be forever grateful.

Apr 18, 2005 21:16:45 Hopeful Dawn is only my favorite Dungeon adventure ever. Instead of throwing all the wholly high hecate to explain everthing this author uses superstitions and diguises to thwart the heros. This is the mold all adventures should draw from. Gary Lai gets a top of the line vote from me.

Thanks, but it's still not what I need. ;)
