T REE L ORDS : T HE S ILVANESTI S COUTS

Using This Product: The Tree Lords adventure

supplement is designed for a predominantly elven

campaign set on the continent of Ansalon after the

War of the Lance has been won.

The work is divided into three sections. The first

section features the Warrior Kit for the scout, as

well as several Silvanesti scout NPCs who will act

as the PCs’ commanders, connections, resources,

and even foes. Section two lists unique equipment

found among the scouts, things which theoreti-

cally make the PCs’ task of scouting the forest that

much easier. The final section of the book features

several complete adventures that, if played se-

quentially, can take a party of six to eight PCs from

novice status (first and second level), to seasoned

veteran status (seventh through ninth level). In ad-

dition, the final section includes many ideas for

further adventures.

It is strongly recommended that all PCs be

Silvanesti, as the whole reason for this series of ad-

ventures is the reclamation of the Silvanesti home-

land in the wake of the War of the Lance. As a rule,

Silvanesti are loathe to be indebted to non-

Silvanesti, and probably would not want such folk

helping them, preferring to keep the problem “in

the family.”

in an earlier, happier time was intimately familiar

to all Silvanesti elves. A land which once nurtured

a friendly wood, the Silvanesti homeland, which is

now a hideous mass of death and corruption.

Once the land has been scouted out to the satis-

faction of the Silvanesti leadership, armies will be

sent to take care of the places too powerful for

small parties of heroes, and healers will be sent to

the areas with the most damage to be healed.

Until then, the future of the Silvanesti lies on the

shoulders of the kirath. No attempts at settlements

are to be made until the land is clear, for the

Silvanesti do not want to waste their most precious

resource, their own people, in hasty and ill-

conceived settlements. The time of foolishness

and bad judgement died with King Lorac, the elves

insist. Let wisdom prevail in the rebirth of the

blessed homeland.

If the nation of Silvanesti is in the process of be-

ing reborn, then the kirath are the midwives, help-

ing the delivery by watching out for the well being

of both the mother and child, in this case the

Silvanesti people and the land to be reclaimed. So

much like rangers are the kirath, but with far more

responsibility. The nation of Silvanesti awaits their

words before proceeding.

Enough talk: let the Time of Reclamation and

Healing begin!

I NTRODUCTION :

In the year 349 AC, the woods of the Silvanesti

were warped into a grotesque nightmare land-

scape. The ruler at that time, the now dead King

Lorac, used an orb of dragonkind in an effort to

drive Queen Takhisis’ Dragonarmies from the

land. Instead of bringing salvation, the orb took

control of the King, and corrupted the land. The

remnants of the elven armies holding out against

the invaders were scattered.

The War of the Lance is now over, and the year

is 353 AC. The Silvanesti elves are now in the proc-

ess of reclaiming their land, assessing the damage

and trying to bring about healing. Before going in

full-scale, common sense and prudence call for a

series of reconnaissance journeys by elven war-

riors specially trained in woodcraft and scouting. It

is only through such journeys that the rulers of the

Silvanesti can get the information needed to deter-

mine where the armies and the healers of the land

are to be sent to do the most good. And it takes a

very special breed of elf to confront the unknown

without the backing of vast armies or mighty Wiz-

ards of High Sorcery, and give an accurate ac-

count of what he has seen.

These elves are known as the Vanguard of

Hope, the kirath’ algos, or the kirath for short. The

PCs are kirath who are exploring something which
