We came so close to unlocking the first part of the Isle of the Mighty campaign, we are going to make this available anyway to those pledges which get stretch goals.

In addition, those backers will also get a 50% discount link to the second part when we release it.

Both parts of the campaign are written with just stats and art to do.

We plan to add an appendix to the book which will allow the book to be used with the Chivalry & Sorcery Basic Rules.  The PDF edition of the basic rules will be provided to all backers.

So although the book is intended as an expansion for the full Chivalry and Sorcery 5th ed rules, it will enable backers to use the book without needing the core rules.

We are also looking into the idea of a silk map of Britain at the time as an add on, I will keep you informed.

I saw one comment about the adventures - what are they like.

Well Im not about to include a full adventure, but I will include the introduction to the opening adventure.

The DEATH of CRYGYN GAWR

YEAR 515 C.E, September

(BACKGROUND) As ‘new recruits’ in Arthur’s many war bands, they must first earn their place. To do this, they first are sent out to harry Irish raiders, Saxons, or act as low-level scouts for them. In the expanse of Britain sits an ancient woodland known to the Celts as Coed Mawr (‘Great Forest’). It has sat there since before memory and harbors endless secrets, sacred and dark. The Coed Mawr runs the length of Britain in the middle for hundreds of miles. 

Within, it is well-known to be a link to the Otherworld and Underworld alike, and at the moment, a physical divide between the Britons to the West and the incoming Anglo-Saxons in the East, who are in the early stages of populating the cities of the Romano-Britons. The Players are told to scout the outskirts of this grand and ancient woodland for any threats, and when the time comes, return to either the fort of Din Gwricon (in the North) or Din Cador (to the South). Ideally, with captives in tow or information that would be crucial for Arthur and his men. 

SETTING: It is late summer, rainy, dark clouds cover the skies in a gloom. Light storms thunder occasionally. The dampness is very strong in the air and underfoot.

Green rolling hills are in sight up the looming Coed Mawr, with the remnants of Roman roads, farms and their many fields with workers in the late afternoon sun. Small copses of trees are scattered in the grasslands.
