By the end of the adventure, the PCs should be midway through 22nd level. This adventure is the sequel to “Tyranny of Souls” in the Scales of War adventure path, and it leads directly to the next adventure: “Grasp of the Mantled Citadel.”It also plays well as a standalone and can be adapted for use in your ongoing campaign.  \nIn “Betrayal at Monadhan,” the PCs travel to Monadhan, a domain where those who’ve betrayed their family, friends, god, or nation suffer supernatural imprisonment. While seeking a portal to an even darker realm, the PCs must contend with a griefmad, undead dragon, its cambion and death giant allies, and the best-known betrayer ofall: Kas, whose sword cut off the hand of his god.  \nSeptember 2 0 09 | DUNGEON 170  \n􀀂  \n􀀂􀀃􀀄􀀅􀀆􀀇􀀆􀀈 􀀆􀀄 􀀊􀀋􀀌􀀆􀀍􀀎􀀆􀀌  \n􀀂􀀏􀀐􀀑􀀒􀀓􀀔􀀕􀀖􀀗  \nTiamat’s black exarch, Mornujhar, has hidden away aritualist of immense knowledge. The ritualist is in a dark realm, working on a ritual that will bring about Bahamut’s doom. The only way to reach the exarchand the ritualist is to travel to Monadhan, the Domain of Betrayal, and pass through a portal there.  \nNot only does a dark lord—an undead dragon named Arantor—guard the portal, but the denizens of Monadhan cannot leave voluntarily unless they possess the key.  \nThe key would allow passage either back to the world or to Mornujhar’s demesne, and it is always the object of greatest betrayal in Monadhan.  \nRight now, the key and object of great betrayal is the Sword ofKas, which is also part of Arantor’s hoard. Kas himself has come to Monadhan in search of it, gathering around him a crew of ritually enhanced vampires.  \nInto this volatile mix step the PCs, who are trying to keep both Kas and Arantor at bay while they journey through Monadhan and use the Sword ofKas to get to Mornujhar. In more than one way, the price of success may be high. The PCs may be forced into betrayals oftheir own to escape Monadhan, and such betrayals might play into the hands of Vecna himself, who pulls the puppet strings in very subtle ways.  \n􀀏􀀗􀀘􀀙􀀖􀀚􀀕􀀓􀀙 􀀛􀀜􀀖􀀔􀀝􀀛􀀞􀀛  \nThe PCs begin the adventure under the Coalition’s protection in Sayre, where they meet an angel of secrets who calls herself Rachaela. Rachaela tells them the tale of Mornujhar and impresses upon them the importance of finding out what the ritualist is up to and stopping it. Rachaela pays the PCs to travel to Monadhan, use the portal leading to the shadowed demiplane of Vaerothim, and confront the ritualist once and for all.  \nThe PCs’ trip to Monadhan is complicated by the difficulty of willingly leaving Monadhan, a supernatural prison for traitors and betrayers. To use the portal, the PCs must find Monadhan’s key: whatever object in the realm is the most potent symbol of betrayal. They must also defeat Arantor, the dark lord of Monadhan—an undead dragon which guards the portal itself.  \n􀀚 􀀙 􀀕􀀙􀀛􀀚􀀛  \nThe climax of the PCs’ major quest, Defeating Irfelujhar, occurs in the next adventure,“Grasp of the Mantled Citadel.” But a minor quest in this adventure is the first step to completing that one.  \nMinor Quest—Betray the Betrayer  \nThe PCs double-cross Kas the Betrayer, accepting his aid but then using the Sword ofKas themselves rather than letting it fall into Kas’s hands.  \nReward: 3,200 XP.  \nOnce in Monadhan, the PCs travel through the jungle and reach the shantytown where most of Monadhan’s denizens—a sorry mix of betrayers from all realms and times—live their lives in squalor.
