Secrets Bound in Gold PDF (Tier 3) (Daggerheart)

A one-shot of occult conspiracy and secrets running deep The most exclusive party in Eldorn becomes the setting for a covert operation with consequences far beyond stolen riches. As the city’s powerful interests converge on House Valorian, a weakening infernal prison threatens to expose the dark foundation of the family’s fortune. House Valorian’s extravagant residence conceals the work of Archmage Thaldrin Valorian, who decades ago imprisoned the fiend Erlithor beneath the estate. By harnessing the devil’s mind, he created a source of power for the Sigil Loom, an arcane engine that helped secure the family’s legacy. His heir, Caldric Valorian, now celebrates his thirtieth birthday with an elaborate gala, unaware that the secretive Conclave is observing the event and that the performer-thieves of the Velvet Accord intend to use the occasion to infiltrate the estate. The characters must navigate an atmosphere where every guest may have a hidden agenda. As they investigate the estate and follow the trail of the thieves, a golden tablet inscribed with an infernal contract emerges as the key to understanding the prison beneath their feet. The ancient binding is weakening, and the failure of the estate’s magical defenses turns the search for the final vault into a race against a growing supernatural threat. Featuring social deception, stealth, magical puzzles, and dangerous traps, this adventure places players in the middle of a conspiracy where every action has a price. The climax hinges on their understanding of the infernal contract and their ability to outmaneuver those seeking to control its power. This product includes PDFs compatible with Daggerheart™.
