The Wither, one of the The Great Wastelands of Central Omeria—and arguably the most dangerous of the three—is home to all manner of horrible creatures. Gnolls, ogres, dragons, and bandits are common sights throughout. But perhaps one of the most dangerous creatures who thrive in the lifeless desert are the ravenous undead.
Southern Omerian traders are forced with two options: completely avoid The Wither and its horrors by way of boat or traveling along the narrow coasts, or venture through the dangerous land and pray the monsters don’t catch your scent on the wind.
Those who choose the latter option—referred to as Deadrunners by most Central Omerians—are some of the bravest (or craziest) humanoids in the land.
The adventurers find themselves at a popular Deadrunner stopover point, the Djingure fortress when a horde of zombies traps them inside with seven strangers.
