Introduction

Cormyr? Please, Im not interested in such a place. Who wants, or needs, a place that has

been so tamed by good agents of law? Really, now, theyve driven out all of the elements that

made life so interesting, and replaced them with a pack of boring, predictable, and yes, arrogant

and self-righteous, cattle. Give me someplace where I can be free to be who I am, and life has

some of that delicious uncertainty that makes it worth living.

Mendryll Belarod, bard extraordinaire

Anyone who thinks that Cormyr no longer has any challenges left either is a fool or has not

looked hard enough. Perhaps both.

Elminster of Shadowdale

Cormyr is a nation of the North, located on the northwest coast of the Sea of Fallen

Stars. For neighbors, Cormyr has Sembia to the east, the desert kingdom of Anauroch to

the north, and the Lake of Dragons to the south.

A civilized nation, Cormyr is ruled by King Azoun IV, a champion of law and good.

The kings ethos has contributed much to his desire to make Cormyr a place of justice,

safety, and peace, and to keep it that way.

Yet despite Azouns apparent successes, there is no way for one mortal, regardless of his

power, to drive out all evil from his borders. Certainly, there may be less corruption, less

overt abuse of power, and less random violence, but evil hearts beat just as strongly here

as they do in Zhentil Keep, Waterdeep, or the Moonsea.

Four from Cormyr is a series of four adventures set in the kingdom of Cormyr, exposing

the adventurers to a range of challenges and opponents, some obvious, some a lot more

subtle. All four adventures are recommended for six to eight characters of levels 9-12.

DMs Information

Four from Cormyr can be played either as four separate stand-alone adventures, or as part

of an interlocking campaign. If the latter is being done, there is no set order for the ad-

ventures to happen, except that the section called The Border Crossing should happen

first, and Redemption should happen last. Every so often, special information is fea-

tured, giving the DM directions for linking all four adventures together.

The unifying theme for the four adventures involves a series of four magic items of his-

torical significance, which also create a single item of great power. Even if the four ad-

ventures are not run as a continuity-based campaign, the items can still be used.

DMs should have access to the F ORGOTTEN R EALMS ® Campaign Setting boxed set and

Volos Guide to Cormyr in order to better run these adventures. Having the Cormyr ac-

cessory, the Tome of Magic, the F ORGOTTEN R EALMS Adventures hardcover book, and

Faiths & Avatars will also come in handy, but is not necessary.

The Four Adventures

The adventures must first begin with The Border Crossing, which introduces the PCs

to Cormyr by having them encounter a Purple Dragon border station. It will be neces-

sary for the PCs to register as an adventuring company. The encounter serves to give the
