About a year ago, I posted a conversion of The Drow War: Book 1 - The Gathering Storm, by Mongoose Publishing, for Forgotten Realms (see http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16911). Now that portion of the adventure is coming to a close. Having enjoyed the campaign immensely so far, I have decided to convert the second adventure in the series The Drow War: Book 2 - The Dying of the Light.

Note: This module takes the Player Characters back and forth across the known world, making it difficult to order my conversion notes chronologically as I did with the first module. Instead, the notes are separated out by countries. There are further conversion notes in the Council of Evermeet document (see below).

Chillhame

Replace Chillhame with The Savage Frontier.

Replace Saragost with Loudwater.

The Chthonic Alliance has abandoned Loudwater and fled back below ground. There are celebrations in the streets and the Player Characters are honored with heroic and wildly exaggerated songs in taverns. Eyewitness reports describe the drow and duergar forces fleeing as if in fear, though the human opposition was no stronger than before. Most of the citizens are so happy that they do not question the invader’s motives, though some are saying that it means something worse is yet to come.

Jehannun

Replace Jehannun with the Western Heartlands.

Replace Crom Calamar with Baldur's Gate.

Replace the Iron Dukes with the Grand Dukes.

Replace the Inn of the Greeen Embers with The Friendly Arm.

Ships docking in Daggerford and Baldur’s Gate have reported encountering floating debris on the ocean, the remains of other ships smashed to pieces. Wreckage has begun to wash up on the shores of the Western Heartlands. Strangely, there have been fewer reports of pirate activity than before. Perhaps some new threat is targeting pirates and merchant shipping alike.

The five cities that the drow attack are Baldur’s Gate, Daggerford, Hluthuar, Iraiaebor, and Nashkel; effectively cutting off the Western Heartlands from the rest of Faerun.

Omorogg stations himself in Baldur’s Gate’s Bay.

The Mencarth Mines are an abandoned dwarven mine in the Sunset Hills near the drow city of Sshamath.

Lost Athul

The Lost Athul is a city from the Primordial Ages of Toril, before the Days of Thunder.

The chihulli and termador guarding the city were created long ago, perhaps by Annam’s titans during their war with the Batrachi.

Shard, The

Replace the Shard with Ruathym.

Sharn, Desert Of

Replace the Desert of Sharn with the Raurin Desert.

The Tyrant of Brass is a weapon of war created by the Mulhorrandi gods during their war with the Imaskari. The Tyrant is just one of many monstrosities that devastated much of the Imaskari Nation and contributed to the creation of the Raurin Desert.

Svarth

Replace Svarth with the Silver Marches.

Replace the dwarves of Svarth with the dwarves of Mithral Hall.

Replace Dolorous Peak with the Nether Mountains.

Replace the Dragon Haunted Hills with the Serpent Hills of the Western Heartlands.

The people of the Silver Marches have seen smoke rising from the Nether Mountains, as if forges were being worked there.

Topaz Dominions, The

Replace the Topaz Dominions with Mulhorrand.

Replace the Sun King with Horustep III.

Hourstep’s country of Mulhorrand is allied with Val. Val has agreed to provide ships to transport Mulhorrandi soldiers to the Sword Coast, but first, the soldiers must cross the Raurin Desert. Before the pharaoh’s soldiers can do this, the Player Characters must stop the Tyrant of Brass, a titanic construct that has been destroying oases along the trade route between their countries.

Visk

Replace Visk with the Sythillisian Empire.

Waste, The

Replace the Waste with Icewind Dale.

Replace Ommersdale with Easthaven.

Replace Scarsby with Bryn Shander.

Replace the Cold Waste with the Reghed Glacier.

Xoth Sarandi

Replace Xoth Sarandi with Evermeet.

Replace the High Council with the Council of Evermeet.

The journey to Evermeet starts in Candlekeep where Nimian Archimandruss’s ship is moored. From there, the Player Characters travel to Caer Corwell before venturing across the Trackless Sea. Before reaching Evermeet’s shores, they must pass through its Web of Illusions, its Storms Barrier, and finally through its ocean of treacherous sea beasts. All of these are detailed in Elves of Evermeet

See notes on the Council of Evermeet (http://dovearrow.wikispaces.com/file/view/Council+of+Evermeet.pdf/443567526/Council%20of%20Evermeet.pdf)

Notable NPCs

The Clockwork Knight was constructed by the gnomes of Lantan.

Omorogg is an agent of Slarkrethel and the Kraken Society. Slarkrethel sends Omorogg to Baldur’s Gate in exchange for the drow’s help in recovering the Soul Eggs from the Lost Athul.

The Sea Harriers are a group of pirates hailing originally from Norland. They prey upon ships all along the Sword Coast.

Miscellaneous

Rewrite Entry Five on p. 61 as follows.

I am filled with joy, as if the sun had all of a sudden vanished behind a mighty thundercloud.

The tome I found on the Netherese Empire speaks of three mythallars, large polished crystals as tall as a man, that have the power to lift entire masses of land into the air. The Mythallar of Lhaoda was one such; Bruin the Abjurer transported it to the elven kingdom of Eaerlann, where the Savage Frontiers lie now. What became of it then is not known. Another was the Mythallar of Tilendrothael , which the medusa sorceress Heurodis used to gain incredible power, only to be destroyed along with the mythallar by one of Drogan Droganson's students. The third, the Mythallar of Xinlenal, is now in our secure hold. How this has come about, I shall not say.

Taking a small ship and crew with me (for it would not do to endanger the flagship), I have spoken to one of the former masters of Lost Athul. In future, let no man speak to me of ‘terror’ who has not gone out alone in a rowing boat and spoken with a creature whose eyes was four times his own height. The beast has consented to my proposal. Whe shall use the Mythallar of Xinlenal to raise Lost Athul from the sea bed so that the Harriers can retrieve what the kraken wants.

Ever since it sank, Lost Athul has been guarded by weird sea-beasts, set there by the same titan, Annam, who caused the city to drown. Slarkrethel confirmed that no kraken has ever eluded these beasts, nor have the Kraken Society’s lesser agents prevailed. But how shall the sea beasts stand in our way when the city itself is no longer submerged? It is a brilliant plan. My brain is the same rare crystal of intellect that it always was.

So three steps there are: The Harriers fetch the krakens’ stone eggs from Lost Athul; my kinsmen reward the Sea Harriers with gems from the Underdark; Slarkrethel sends his servant Omorogg to blockade Baldur’s Gate in exchange for its stone eggs.
