Engle and Steve Prescott ✦ cartography by Mike Schley  \nThe world has never been a safe place. Bastions of civilization populate a dark, menacing world—islands of order and reason exist in a land otherwise overrun by dark cults, vile monsters, creatures from the dark edges ofthe imagination, and worse. As deadly as the world is on a normal day, something has begun to stir on the fringes ofthe civilized Elsir Vale. Formerly the site of an attack by an army known as the Red Hand, the Vale has known several years of peace since brave adventurers stormed into the teeth of the approaching Hand and sent them scurrying back into the darkness.  \nTM & © 2008 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

But what, you ask, is an Adventure Path? Quite simply, it is a series of related adventures intended to form a complete D&D campaign that takes your players from 1st level all the way to, in the case of Scales of War, 30th level.  \nPrevious Adventure Paths, presented with the 3rd Edition D&D rules, took characters from 1st to 20th level. But with all three tiers in the new edition ripe and ready to explore, we’re pushing the limit with Scales of War. Each tier takes roughly six adventures to traverse, which means we’ll finish off this Adventure Path in about eighteen issues. Each adventure advances characters from between one and a half to two levels of experience. We recognize that not everyone will meet every encounter or complete every quest, however, so periodically, we point DMs to a supplemental Side Trek or short adventure to keep your PCs on pace.  \nPlus, roughly every other month, Dragon will feature new support content for Scales of War. The first such article appears in Dragon \\#366 in August 2008, and it details possible character backgrounds for your brand-new Scales of War characters.  \nFinally, this Adventure Path is intended to function as a complete D&D campaign. That means we make some assumptions about the history of the world as we move along, just as you would in any campaign you run. We borrow heavily from the D&D mythology of 4th Edition, as well as all the great ideas that have cropped up in other products over the years—including the pages of past issues of Dungeon!  \nEnjoy your stay in Scales of War, and keep an eye out for next month’s installment,“Siege of Bordrin’s Watch,” by Robert J. Schwalb.  \nBut the peace of Elsir Vale—and specifically, the town of Brindol, heart of the former conflict with the Red Hand—has been shattered. The vague shadow of unease the locals have been experiencing lately has crystallized in the form of an attack on the town itself. Now Brindol finds itself once more in need of brave heroes willing to come to the aid of their citizens.  \nIn “Rescue at Rivenroar,” the player characters must brave the depths of ancient catacombs in search of prisoners taken from the town of Brindol in a midnight raid. The hobgoblins, bandits that style themselves after an invading horde from long ago, have taken refuge in a dungeon under a ruined mountain fortress, and the PCs must clear them out to find the captive townsfolk and the treasures taken from Brindol.  \n“Rescue at Rivenroar” also marks the first step ina great journey—the Scales of War Adventure Path, which spans 30 levels and put the PCs at the crux of events that shapes the world for centuries to come. While the scope of this adventure isn’t as grand, it represents the seed from which an epic tale will surely grow.“Rescue at Rivenroar” is an adventure for 1st-level PCs.  \nBackgRound  \nSinruth is a hobgoblin with greater aspirations thana life spent preying on the fringes of civilization.
