The Red Tree of Grudges is a heroic DnD 2024 adventure for characters of 1st to 3rd level.
Set beyond the frozen edges of Rybalka, it plunges your party into a world where ancient grudges refuse to die.

At first, peace lingers—barely. Yet beneath the snow, old magic stirs, and long-buried tensions crackle like ice underfoot.
Soon, a bitter cold isn’t the only danger threatening the land.

Enter Anastasia—a gifted young mage returning home after years of arcane study.
However, instead of celebration, she finds grief: her mother slain, her family broken, and her village consumed by fear.
In response, she vanishes into the frostbitten wilds, chasing answers few dare seek.

Now, fate turns to your characters.
First, they must brave ancient forests cloaked in silence.
Next, they must uncover haunted ruins, lost truths, and powers meant to stay forgotten.
Ultimately, they must find Anastasia—before the shadows twist her path beyond saving.

Yet, something else waits—deep within the cursed woods.
It watches. It remembers. And it hungers for blood owed.

So, will your party protect what remains?
Or, instead, will they fall to the wrath of the Red Tree of Grudges?

Either way, the spark has been struck.
The legend—is yours to forge.
