I love so many things about this adventure. It's so easy to prep and run, it's a fun story to tell, and there are so many roleplay opportunities for players. I ran this for my daughter and she enjoyed the different encounters here, as well as drawing the Centaur and the unicorn. This module has everything you could look for in a t1 module

• depth of symbolism
• beautiful worldbuilding
• roleplay opportunities
• combat opportunities
• a touching ending

It's very well written, easy to follow, and easy to prep. If you are looking for a great adventure to run, look no further.

Wow.

I just ran this adventure for my players this weekend. They enjoyed the characters and there were many moments for role-play within the cultural references alone to keep them engaged. I was moved by the story and the design of this particular domain. They enjoyed the explanations of khoresh labhand and sharbat. I was particularly touched by what I beleive to be the offering of a spirit meal for a loved one. Spirit meals are an aspect of my culture that I hold very dear to my heart. I also enjoyed the cameo of a NPC from D&D 5e's past.

The only thing I was unsure of was the lingering of the storm or the potentially arriving late to the canyon that could happen at the end of Part One. The adventure presents meta to determine how long the storm lingers and how long of a delay to the canyon occurs. It doesn't hint at the nature of the consequences of the time delays, the lingering sandstorms continueing effects. DMs can easily consider environmental effects or what delays will do to the rescuing of the NPC in Part Two. Me? I just narrated the extra travel and the storms trajectory with no consequence.

The adventures premise is so strong and this adventure is so well put together that I have given it a 5-star rating. I haven't done that in a long time. A must for your collections, DMs.

This adventure has a very touching story, and the artwork does a great job of conveying the lonely and desolate feeling in the domain of Dwindle. Including a real recipe for the dish in the adventure is such a great touch. I made it for my family shortly after purchase, and everyone loved it!

Beautiful visuals, great magic item, and hauntingly beautiful and nostalgic, with a hint of melancholy that makes us think about those loves one we wish to one day see again, beyond the sands of time and the veil of the afterlife.

This module is a keeper, and very much a work of art.

A really touching story! Thank you for sharing with us.

The end has another example of mixing non-combat and combat in a scene, to provide players with different preferences a chance to do something interesting in the encounter. (I did end up stretching out the combat a little, instead of having a good social roll from ending the combat, instead had it remove one of the combatants.) That felt perfect.

The middle part gave us a chance to have a non-combat encounter that felt dramatic, and gave the players a chance to roleplay a little in a non-traditional roleplaying encounter too. (The numbers work out weird if you have a larger party and a bunch of them fail, but luckily it's unlikely that too many will fail, and even if they do, typically it won't be a disaster.)

Everyone had a great time and I'm definitely going to add this to my regular rotation whenever we go back to in-person play at the store.

(and as a side note, every single WBW-DC that you guys put out in this batch has been excellent, Wonderia set the bar high and both this and Ember King were great.)

This is a GREAT adventure. Very touching and emotional. Had a great time running it, learning about the Iranian culture and a delicious dish :) - I love mint! Cze and Peku maps are just awesome, illustrations are stunning beautiful!

Made Mooncolor brother of Elidorn, and Mooncolor got lost in Dwindle looking for his missing brother, to tie the histories together.

Just a note on the Sandstorm piece. The damage from the sandstorm need to have party adjustments... without healing potions and stuff, it can easily TPK a party...
