Kith’takharos Products

Our products are designed for Savage Worlds, Pathfinder, or OGL 3.5 rules. At this time, we offer all adventures as PDFs and some adventures as eBooks in the ePub format. Ebooks are eventually planned for all products.

KS00: Kith’takharos Setting

The remote swamp village of Kith’takharos provides the known world with valuable plants that are processed into drugs both beneficial and malevolent. Envious of this monopoly, the powerful Transit Guild schemes to wrest control of the swamp plant trade from the leaders of Kith’takharos.

Tribes of reptilian Swamp Men live in an uneasy truce with the village. Scattered throughout the swamp, the ruins of the lost Harlass Orn civilization lay hidden beneath the murky waters and dense foliage. Some scholars view the Swamp Men as fallen remnants of this advanced race, but most people would laugh at the idea that Swamp Men could build anything of stone or steel.

The small-scale Kith’takharos Setting can easily be introduced into a campaign. Opportunities for adventure abound in the swamps surrounding Kith’takharos. Explore the ancient structures left behind by the Harlass Orn. Engage in political intrigue between the local Order of the Jade Leaf and the outside merchant organization called the Transit Guild. Cross paths with the mysterious Swamp Men.

The Kith’takharos Setting is available for free in a rules agnostic format. A Kith’takharos setting PDF will soon be available!

KS01: Well Met in Kith’takharos

Discover exotic adventure and political machinations in the swamp village of Kith’takharos, a hub of bustling enterprise in the midst of an inhospitable environment. While searching for Almus Rundarig, characters learn that Kith’takharos politics are just as dangerous as the denizens of the swamp, and that there are hidden evils even the Swamp Men fear.

KS03: The Nine Towers

Nine ancient Teleportation Towers link the swamps surrounding Kith’takharos. Abandoned by the lost reptilian race of Harlass Orn, the towers remained undiscovered by outsiders…until now.

The Harlass Orn vanished over a thousand years ago. The survival of Kith’takharos depends on the fading magic and strange plants scavenged from Harlass Orn ruins. One man now threatens the tenuous prosperity wrested from the swamp by three generations of settlers.

The ruthless archaeologist-mage Lenar Hoyt has stolen the most holy artifact of the Bright Water Swamp Men. The tribe holds Kith’takharos responsible, and will destroy the village unless the Order of the Jade Leaf retrieves Tarshal’din’s Shining Spear. As the Swamp Man warriors gather for the assault, Hoyt activates the first Teleportation Tower.

The Nine Towers is an OGL 3.5 adventure for 4-6 characters of Fifth and Sixth Levels or a Savage Worlds adventure for 4-6 Seasoned characters, with an estimated 25 hours of playing time. The 88 page PDF also contains 6 Quick-Play PCs. Immerse the characters in an environment of sticky heat, dense fog, and sudden danger as they pursue Lenar Hoyt across the swamp in great leaps of teleportation. Hoyt desperately searches for the origins of Tarshal’din’s Shining Spear, driven by impulses he does not fully understand. Will the characters reach him and recover the Swamp Man artifact before the Bright Water carry out their threat?

The Nine Towers also brings the characters one step closer to learning the true fate of the Harlass Orn, which will be revealed in the next Kith’takharos adventure: The Dreamers Awaken.

KS04: The Dreamers Awaken

In your dreams, endless rows of reptilian humanoids lay upon couches. Each body writhes in pain, but you know with the unerring assurance of the dream that all are sleeping. A wavering voice swirls throughout the room, rising and falling in intensity, finally resolving into words: “When will the dreamers awaken?”

More than a thousand years ago, the reptilian race of Harlass Orn inhabited the swamps surrounding Kith’takharos. Their greatest architectural triumph was the construction of nine Teleportation Towers. These towers also precipitated the Harlass Orn downfall, for the magic employed in large-scale teleportation allowed malicious extra-dimensional creatures called Veilwalkers to enter normal space.

The Harlass Orn sought shelter in a magically protected refuge called Tarass Shar Orn. Here they planned to hibernate until the Veilwalkers left normal space. But the Veilwalker named Dreamseeker infiltrated Tarass Shar Orn and transformed the dreams of the sleeping Harlass Orn into perpetual nightmares. Now the Dreamseeker slowly consumes their minds.

The Dreamers Awaken is an OGL 3.5 adventure for 4-6 characters of Seventh and Eighth Levels or a Savage Worlds adventure for 4-6 Veteran characters, with an estimated 25 hours of playing time. The PDF contains 64 pages. The characters must enter Tarass Shar Orn to free the sleeping Harlass Orn, battling the Dreamseeker’s constructs before confronting the Veilwalker in its place of power: the Dream Realm, where the laws of physics do not apply and thought becomes reality.

KS05: Seal the Rift!

He waited, standing like a statue just inside the entrance of the Administration Wing. He had not moved in a thousand years, having no need of food or rest, and never suffering from fatigue. He existed to serve his master, which gave him pleasure. And every moment of those thousand years was pleasing, for his Master had bid him to wait.

Then a whisper of thought brushed his mind. His eyes regained focus and he turned his head, recognizing the pyramid of mummified Harlass Orn corpses he had carefully assembled so long ago. He sensed his Master’s voice, faint yet unmistakable. The rift had opened again, and Agurth-Plaga called to him.

Months have passed since the Harlass Orn were freed from the Veilwalker Dreamseeker in The Dreamers Awaken adventure. One of the survivors, the scholar-mage Zzhastor Brune, learns that the people of Kith’takharos have begun using the ancient Harlass Orn Teleportation Towers. These towers precipitated the Harlass Orn downfall, for the magic employed in tower teleportation opened a rift that allowed the extra-dimensional Veilwalkers to enter normal space and destroy the Harlass Orn.

Brune fears that the rift has been reopened, and knows of only one method that might seal it before the Veilwalkers once again overwhelm the swamp. Someone must enter the Harlass Orn research facility called Nhamah and retrieve the Aether Bind, a device designed to close the rift.

Seal the Rift! is an OGL 3.5 adventure for 4-6 characters of Ninth and Tenth Levels or a Savage Worlds adventure for 4-6 Heroic characters, with an estimated 15 hours of playing time. The PDF contains 42 pages. Zzhastor Brune teleports the characters into Nhamah, where they will navigate the automated defenses before confronting a powerful Veilwalker construct determined to prevent the Aether Bind from being activated.

A foraging party stumbles onto a new species of spider and ignites a hunt for the creature’s fiery web.

Two Order of the Jade Leaf scouts retreat from newly discovered Harlass Orn ruins when confronted by large red spiders.

The characters are sent by the Order of the Jade Leaf to retrieve samples of flammable spider web.

KS11: The Repository

A mysterious cavern holds constructs inert since the end of an ancient war.

A thousand years ago, the Harlass Orn thrived in the swamps surrounding Kith’takharos. At the height of their achievements, the Harlass Orn fought a desperate war against extra-dimensional creatures called Veilwalkers. The Veilwalkers created numerous battle constructs and placed them in storage facilities called repositories. The characters encounter a Veilwalker repository that houses a cache of deactivated constructs.

The Repository is an OGL 3.5 Simple Scenario for 3-5 Fifth to Sixth Level characters or a Savage Worlds Simple Scenario for 3-5 Veteran characters.

KS12: The Hideout

A fragment of an ancient bridge offers a commanding view of the surrounding swamp—and a defensible refuge for poachers.

Outlaws called poachers roam the swamps and nearby river lands. Poachers continuously spar with the Order of the Jade Leaf, waylaying shipments of swamp plant products, dodging and fleeing patrols. They turn remote islands or forgotten ruins into bases. The characters stumble upon a poacher hideout at the ruins of a Harlass Orn bridge.

The Hideout is an OGL 3.5 Simple Scenario for 3-5 Second to Third Level characters or a Savage Worlds Simple Scenario for 3-5 Novice to Seasoned characters.
