Madness at Gardmore Abbey

Sign in to edit

Madness at Gardmore Abbey is a [missing data]-page sourcebook for Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition released in September 2011.

Official synopsis[]

A thrilling heroic-tier adventure for characters of levels 6-8.

This deluxe adventure takes heroes into the ruins of Gardmore Abbey, a monastery that was once the base of a militant order of paladins devoted to Bahamut. According to legend, the paladins brought a dark artifact back from a far crusade and stored it in their abbey for safekeeping, and evil forces gathered to assault the abbey and take it back. What the legends don’t tell is that this artifact was actually the Deck of Many Things, a force of pure Chaos.

This adventure brings characters into the extensive dungeons beneath the ruins - dungeons that are warped and twisted with the raw forces of Chaos surrounding the cards of the deck.
