Saltwater Crowns: Driftwood Crown 5e D&D

Saltwater Crowns: Driftwood Crown

A 5e Adventure by Legends Ink

“Where sea-wrack and shadow entwine, a crown of driftwood waits.”

The Tide Brings More Than Wreckage

On the mist-drowned coast of Annwn, the sea never forgets. Every storm drags secrets ashore... bones tangled in sea-weed, relics that whisper names, and the crown that no one dares to claim.

Your party is drawn to a place where the mortal realm brushes the Otherworld, where drowned kings still dream and the tides themselves hunger for devotion.

Saltwater Crowns: Driftwood Crown is a dark-fantasy Celtic adventure for 5e, steeped in folklore, faith, and the fragile line between life and legend. It’s designed for levels 3–7, playable as a stand-alone campaign or as the first part of the Saltwater Crowns saga.

What Awaits Within

Act I – The Drowned Road

Follow the sea’s pull to a half-sunken village, haunted by spectral tides and ruinous devotion.

Act II – The Crown’s Claim

Unravel the bargains of tide-priests, shipwreck scavvers and the Drowned Court with each convinced the crown is theirs by right.

Act III – The Salt King’s Return

Face the rising storm. Choose to bind the crown, break it, or wear it  and bear the cost of ruling both sea and soul.
