D&D: Eberron Comes To The Adventurer’s League
Experiences the Embers of the Last War with D&D’s official organized play system, the Adventurer’s League. Launching this fall: a twelve-adventure long campaign will take players on a grand tour of Eberron, allowing players and DMs alike to explore the new setting officially in the AL.
Things are moving fast folks. The Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron has been out for scarcely two weeks and already there’s a soon-to-be adventurer’s league legal campaign/encounter supplement, and now we find out that there’s an official Eberron campaign being planned for organized play. Spanning twelve different adventures, each geared to be ~4 hours long, the Embers of the Last War will take players through the dizzying highs and lows of Sharn, the legendary City of Towars, in a race against opponents both direct and indirect (shadowy crime syndicates, anyone) as they try and stamp out the last few dying embers of a decades old (but not old enough) conflict…the Last War.

The Dungeon Masters Guild Adepts are pleased to announce a new D&D Adventurers League storyline set in Sharn. Embers of the Last War is a twelve-adventure campaign that sees the characters face off against governments, criminal organizations, and dragonmarked houses while attempting to uncover a mystery that could reignite the Last War. The adventures take place in Eberron’s story-rich City of Towers, a place filled with magic, secrets, and shadowy thrills.
The storyline kicks off with What’s Past is Prologue, an adventure for 0-level characters by Alan Patrick, with simple rules for 0-level character creation included. The adventure is set in the final days of the Last War before the Day of Mourning and introduces new and experienced players to Eberron and the Embers of the Last War storyline. At the end of What’s Past is Prologue, the characters are retired from play, and 1st-level characters are built to take you through the rest of the campaign.
This just sounds cool. What a way to kick off a delve into a whole new world. Dive feet first into the deep in, play during one of the seminal events of the setting: the Last War. If you’re not familiar with Eberron–it’s basically World War 1 and the Hundred Years’ War all rolled together. The general air of Eberron is that it’s a world in between conflicts, a great magical weapon was unleashed during the final days, creating the Mournland, a trackless, devastated magical wasteland full of unknown horrors. It was enough to stop the war–but even dying embers can be enough to stoke old flames. The Last War is the source of tension and conspiracies–Eberron is notorious for intrigue and spies as well as its dinosaur riding warriors and magic robots.
So players get to experience first hand what makes Eberron tick, and then the rest kicks off with a mystery that leads players through Sharn in a race to stop a killer. But, like most everything inside ‘civilized’ Khorvaire…nothing is what it seems. Here’s a look at the other 12 adventures in the series.
