Wedding Lights is a one-shot for level 3 – 4 characters. In it, the party finds themselves in Alcazar for the Festival of Lights, a yearly celebration that will be used as a marriage ceremony for the crown princess Oriana. However, Oriana is in love with another man and doesn’t want to marry her betrothed, a treacherous prince who only wants control of the region. Oriana’s handmaid Cadija is loyal to her even as the betrothed prince attempts to blackmail her, and on the opening night of the festival, Cadija transforms into a dragon-esque creature to try to kill the prince. The adventurers stop her and then are tasked with killing her. In the process, they will learn who Oriana truly wants to marry and have to choose between allying themselves with her or her father.

Overall, the adventure is fine. It has a little bit of action and intrigue, and players must make a difficult moral choice. However, it is also sometimes difficult to read and understand, and there’s quite a bit of repetition and blank spaces. The adventure also gets a bit confusing at times, and it’s unclear how players are meant to gather the information they need to make an informed decision.

The best part by far was the original art, which was beautifully done. The map was especially impressive, and it helped a lot in showing players and the DM what Alcazar looked like and where they could explore.

If you’d like an adventure with a lot of world-building for you to explore on your own, this could be a good option. There are quite a few NPCs and intrigue. However, the plot is light and a bit confusing. Personally, I prefer to use it as a skin for my own adventures.
