This game is not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by Fria Ligan AB. This Supplement was created under Fria Ligan AB’s Dragonbane Third Party Supplement License.

What's Included?

• A full-length adventure for Dragonbane;
• A new region and several locations within it to visit;
• New monsters;
• An exploration of concepts on Animism and how spirits connect with magic;
• What process makes a spirit into a wraith, and the different kinds of wraiths;
• Templates for creating your own wraith as a monster to use in future quests.

A supernatural mist has consumed the quiet valley town of Songdale. A terrifying figure known only as the Mistwraith has given the townsfolk a week to “make right what misery you have wrought.” Time is running out, and the PCs must uncover the secrets of Songdale’s past before it's too late. Mistwraith is a dark fantasy investigation and survival adventure full of dread, spirit magic, and moral ambiguity.

The Adventure

Mistwraith will lead players to the town of Songdale, which is languishing under the curse of a vengeful spirit known only as the Mistwraith. The town itself is covered in a dense fog of unnatural color, a purple-grey haze hanging over the normally sunny valley. Within the fog lurks tainted wildlife and grotesque creatures under the control of the Wraith. The people here are trapped, bidden to suffer for a week’s time until they face an excruciating demise at the hands of this foul apparition.

Players will need to work with the locals to uncover what caused the Wraith’s anger, investigate the town for clues and tools to combat its evil, and perhaps even face the wraith itself.

The fate of Songdale will be in their hands. Will they save it? Or will the Mistwraith have its vengeance?

Setting Expansion

Mistwraith takes place in the region of Greybook, which exists south of the Kummer Mountains and expands on the official Dragonbane setting. Tucked into a valley between Kummer and a southern range called the Stoneveil, this independent fiefdom sees little outside interest in its affairs.

Castle Greybrook is the seat of power in the region. A never-ending war rages between the castle’s lord and the Orcs of the Greenheart Forest to the east.

Songdale, to the castle’s west, has traditionally handled its own affairs despite their allegiance to Greybrook. The city has a long history, founded by shamans and refugees from north of Kummer whose homes were destroyed in a terrible war against the undead. The forest to the north of Songdale, under the summit of the Kummer mountains, is called Snowpine Thicket. This place carries many ancient shrines and hidden groves from the town’s druidic past, all but forgotten as they have embraced a veneration of their ancestors in recent generations.

There are various locations within Songdale that players can explore over the course of play. Shops, basements, and other terrifying locales that have been twisted by the wraith’s wicked curse.  They will find fear and excitement in these cursed lands.

New Monsters & Wraith Templates

Mistwraith includes ten new monsters that can be used in this adventure or incorporated into others. From animals twisted by the dread mist to malevolent spirits seeking retribution for past wrongs, these foes bring a haunting presence to any tale.

Also included are four Wraith Templates that can transform any monster into a dreadful wraith. Each is shaped by one of four consuming emotions that bind the soul to undeath. Though many passions may twist the dead toward evil, these four are the most feared—and most often chronicled in grim annals of the past.

They are as follows:

• Wraith of Fury: Be they scorned, mistreated or otherwise, this spirit perished in anger. They spread their anger to the world around their influence, inciting violence and unabated malice. 
• Wraith of Fear: This spirit lost its mortal life while in a state of terror. This fear drives it to persist, torn between ethereal and corporeal realms. Nightmares, dangerous hallucinations and a general malaise of fright surround the environment possessed of a Wraith of Fear.
• Wraith of Vengeance: Born of betrayal or misguided justice, the Wraith of Vengeance seeks retribution. It targets a person or group that it sees as responsible for its misfortunes. It will stop at nothing to punish those it deems responsible.
• Wraith of Despair: This spirit’s mortal life was one of tragedy and depression. The unfairness of the universe keeps them restless. The sphere of influence around a Wraith of Despair drives helplessness and sloth so strong that people caught within it will choose to starve rather than leave their beds.
