Cinders of Blackhollow

Cinders of Blackhollow

A Level 4-6 Shadowdark Adventure of Fate, Horror, and Unrelenting Dread

The village of Blackhollow is dead. The fires that consumed its homes have long since faded, but the sorrow, fear, and unfinished fates of those who perished still linger.

Now, something watches from the shadows of what remains. A figure with wings of night and eyes like dying stars—the Mothman. It doesn’t speak. It doesn’t act. It only watches... until the moment your fate is sealed.
