The adventure takes place in remote frontier territory that can easily be placed into any campaign setting.  \nAdventure Background  \nFor five years, the Hand of Naarash has extended its dark hold over the borderlands. This cult of Bane was born in the Moonsfall Mountains, spreading across the frontiers offallen Nerath and into settled lands. The cult’s death squads target isolated settlements for “cleansing”—the folk of the frontier given the choice ofjoining the Hand or accepting the salvation of death.  \nAs the cult’s power has grown, a martial order called the light of the Sun has risen to fight against it. A year before, the order sent a team deep across the frontier to strike at the cult’s hidden heart—an ancient temple known as the Pillars of Night. This group was led by the paladin Jaryn, a noble warrior and veteran of countless cult campaigns.  \nHe and his compatriots were never seen by the order again.  \nTM & © 2008 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

Upon meeting members of the light ofthe Sun, the PCs are recruited for a journey into cult territory. Their quest: Retrace the route of the paladin Jaryn as he sought the temple known as the Pillars of Night.  \nA skill challenge sees the PCs make their way through the isolated villages of the frontier, seeking information on Jaryn’s group and the road they sought. The Black March is a secret trail leading north to the Pillars of Night, its location a closely guarded secret. The PCs hear word of Jaryn’s passage, the deaths of three of his party, and his oath to destroy a cult warlord named larkazh. Then a confrontation with a Hand death squad reveals that the cult is smuggling weapons and armor across the frontier—the Hand of Naarash is building an army in the north. The PCs discover that the Hand is aware of their pursuit of Jaryn when a group of doppelganger assassins attempts to end the party’s quest.  \nSetting out on the dangerous Black March, the PCs come to the isolated citadel of Adakmi. Alerted to dangers on the road ahead, they chart a new course up the white-water rivers of the Moonsfall Mountains, confronting another of the cult’s death squads in a burning village. From the survivors come more clues indicating that Jaryn passed this way. Then the PCs are attacked by a tiefling darkblade—Jaryn’s last surviving companion, now under the control of the cult.  \nThe PCs arrive at the Pillars of Night—the ruins of a sprawling giant-built temple reclaimed by the Hand of Naarash. The temple complex is one part frontier city and one part military enclave—its people dedicated to the cult’s dark mission. But when the PCs undertake a skill challenge to subtly infiltrate the cultists and determine Jaryn’s fate, they discover that the paladin did make it to the Pillars of Night—and that he remains here, the new leader ofthe Hand ofNaarash and the architect of the cult’s future.  \nIn the inner temple, the PCs fight their way through magical defenses and the lurking horrors of the past. They then defeat Jaryn’s personal guard before facing the paladin himself. Jaryn has been corrupted by the latent evil of a demonic presence named Naarash, bound to a stone that the giants discovered and named the Eye ofNaarash.
