The Mourning Outpost of Cyre is an Eberron-specific adventure for level 3 – 5 characters. They have been contacted by Pendergast d’Cannith, a middle-ranking official that hails from House Cannith. Pendergast requests the party return to the Cannith Outpost in the Mournland, a magically-destroyed/altered portion of the country, to find if there’s anything left. Doing so will gain House Cannith’s gratitude and give the party additional access to other officials, adventures, and more.
When the party arrives at the Cannith Outpost, they find a fortress ravaged by the Mourning, the magical backlash. Creatures are warped and strange, and the outpost has very little within it. However, within the vault they find two damaged warforged and a few other items. Doing so draws in Mourning-altered creatures to the outpost, and the party must then either run away before being attacked or hunker down for the siege before returning to Pendergast.
This was a great little adventure. It’s quite short and to-the-point, but it provides a good introduction to Eberron/the Mourning and gives your players a jumping off point to learn more about these, get introduced to society, and start using Eberron: Rising from the Last War. It’s also well-organized and points you towards any additional information you might want/need to access, and it’s quite easy to run. My only suggestion would be to add more overt rewards to draw in the party, especially if they don’t know much about Eberron and why favors are important.
If you’d like a quick Eberron-based adventure with an interesting climactic battle, give the Mourning Outpost of Cyre a try! I think you’ll like it.
