Many old-school D&D players cut their teeth on the classic adventure module B2: Keep on the Borderlands. It’s been over 40 years since that module was released, and I wanted to revisit the themes of that adventure with a modern twist. Taking place in the land of Elissar, “Peace in the Border Kingdoms” gives PCs the opportunity to reshape the land by negotiating with or fighting against three warlords who have been causing trouble in the fledgling Border Kingdoms. This adventure provides a challenge to 10th-level characters who may be able to shape a realm of their own.

Classic fairy tales usually involve a plucky young child taking on something dark and dangerous that represents the unknown and coming out on top. Those tales have been told, retold, and ultimately sanitized over the generations. When you go back to the source, however, a disturbing pattern emerges. While the horrors they face are immense, the fairy tale protagonists turn into horrifying monsters themselves when the tale reaches its conclusion and they embark upon the most satisfying part of their journey: revenge.
