What's It About: The Outer Seas is a place where the rules of fantasy are rewritten and the depths of the boundless ocean hold untold mysteries, lost civilizations, and unique aquatic lifeforms who rule above and below the waves.
This 6-8-hour adventure will have your players navigating through a strange island landscape known as the Wandering Jungle. While there, they will uncover a multitude of secrets and put together the history of the people who once called this seemingly idyllic landscape home. However, all is not as it seems: your players are not the only ones on this moving island. Hidden within the dense foliage are a myriad of lurking dangers that prowl ancient towers, haunted shrines, destroyed villages, and sunken temples.
Every location offers both peril and promise with unique treasures and bits of lore that help your party form a better understanding of the lifeforms that once wandered this strange land.
With over 15 new monsters, including the fearsome Lionfish Basilisk and the dreaded Flame Belly Mirounga, and an array of unique magical artifacts such as the sentient sword Ra'Midas and the Blood Claw Knuckle Dusters, the Outer Sea ZQ1 - The Clawing Chaos promises an unforgettable gaming experience that introduces your table to the Outer Seas setting and provides a great starting point for a new campaign upon the endless tides.
