Windheim Falling

Windheim Falling

Windheim Falling is part 2 of the epic campaign Horn of the Dawn. The continuation of the drama has two parallel storylines. One is the group’s quest to try and find the remaining jewels that eventually (hopefully) will lead them to the Horn of the Dawn. 

The other storyline is the outbreak of war on Windheim. The party will need to navigate carefully between allies and enemies to try and save what can be saved from the onslaught of the demon/stonekin army.

Traces of Darkness was a rather railroaded adventure. Windheim Falling is not. In this part the story will unfold in a number of different ways depending on the choices that the group makes. This means that the job as game master is a bit more demanding, you need to adjust the information in this book depending on what has happened during the campaign. 

This book will provide you with all the helpful information and tips you'll need, and will point out the most likely way the story will progress. This book is less “This happens, and then this happens”, and more “Here is a place the party might go, here are some things that might happen if they do”. 

Windheim Falling will be approximately 112 pages and will be available in both English and Swedish

Windheim Adventures

This book of approximately 100 pages is a collection of 4 previously released digital adventures and 2 new adventures (or more of stretchgoals are unlocked), all combined in one book. They are all perfect for oneshots (some may take two sessions if you only play 2-3 hours at a time).  Windheim Adventures will be available in both English and Swedish. 

Although all the Windheim Adventures are set in Windheim, they can all can be adapted to play in any other world/setting for Dragonbane. Listen to award-winning podcast Sweden Rolls play four of the scenarios further down.

To the Rescue 

Author: Andreas Lundström 
This scenario was the first Dragonbane adventure ever to be played publicly. Award-winning actual play podcast Sweden Rolls played it in Swedish way back in 2022 during Medeltidsveckan (Medieval Week) in Visby Sweden, in cooperation with Free League Publishing. Desperate villagers seek aid against a coming attack, the adventurers must try to find a way to save the village.

Winter Ravages 

Author: Andreas Lundström
This adventure won the gold Fenix Award in 2025 for best adventure in Fenix magazine! A sudden and violent snow storm has covered the village of Harvestville in snow. The adventurers need to seek the reason behind it, and stop the storm if they can. 

Revenge for the Fallen 

Author: Andreas Lundström
Revenge for the Fallen was the first adventure released for the Windheim setting.  The player characters are assigned to investigate an attack on a Bastionite patrol on the other side of the long wall that divides the barony of Stoneswaardh from the Myhl Peninsula. Soon they find that there is more to this story than they first thought.

Loyalty Until Death  

Author: Andreas Lundström
The adventurers are venturing out in the wilderness, close to hostile dwarven mountains of Khal Dhem, searching for a friend that has gone missing.

Into the Drain 

Authors: Christian Lindqvist and Robert Alm
The player characters wake up in deep shit (literally), and need to get out of the sewers of Foamsvale. The only problem is - someone stole their equipment, and there's no way out. 

Getting Foggy 

Authors: Christian Lindqvist and Robert Alm
A mysterious fog lingers around a ship in Foamsvale bay, it hasn't moved for over a day, nor has the ship. The delivery the player characters are waiting for does not seem to come. They'll need to go find it and bring it back, while searching through many dreadful things.

Shipping & Tariffs

To save money for you, we will be handling the shipping of this Kickstarter ourselves. We will ship via Postnord, the Swedish postal service that has handled most of our shipping before. Their prices are the best available from Sweden when it comes to packages under 2 kg. 

The shipping costs that we charge for in the survey stage is the only shipping you will pay for. We only use Kickstarter's own survey, so there will be no additional cost at a later stage. You will see an shipping estimate depending on where you are in the world when pledging.

We have gotten many questions about tariffs. As far as we understand, most countries (including the US) do not in fact have custom tariffs on books. If there is in fact a customs fee/tariff, this will be charged by the customs in your country, and that sum is not included in your pledge or the shipping costs. That fee is usually very small.
