This curse is not merely a supernatural affliction but a haunting echo of ancestral duty, binding each generation to the tormented deeds of those who came before.
The adventurers are drawn into this dark saga through their participation in the annual hunting tournament, sponsored by the Undertow Village Council.

If so, pay a visit to Ol' Scratch at the Crossroads Tavern--he's got an offer you won't want to miss. 45 new NPCs and Monsters, 16 new Magic Items, 28 colorful maps, 6 new Spells, 68 new Tokens, and Undertow Village complete with map, NCPs and personalities.
