Get this Adventure Kit here ➡
The PCs awaken in a withering fungal forest with no memory of the last few days. All they have are keys etched with their names and a card with directions to a research facility.Joy saturates the air. Locals smile wide. Monsters hug. Something is deeply wrong. The truth unravels: the cube – an experimental psychic entity designed to consume sorrow – has devoured its creators and now radiates an artificial bliss that erodes will, memory, and eventually, life.The PCs must confront fabricated happiness, uncover their role, and survive impossible odds, unstable allies, and a delusional eye tyrant with king-aspirations.

Locations

Smiling Wilds: A corrupted forest where emotions are warped and monsters have polite manners.
BlissCore Facility: Abandoned greykin dwarf research lab where the cube was born. Still echoes with corporate slogans.
The Trauma Vault: Sealed vault within the Matriarch’s palace, housing powerful bottled traumas.
Pavilion of Rest: A paradise-like camp in the T’sinrae Court that offers false comfort and aggressively kind drow staff.
The Deep Web: Lair of the silkblood queen and her bug-army.

Characters

Kaesalia T’sinrae: The formidable matriarch of a memory-bound drow court, who possesses the PC’s memories and collects crystals filled with trauma.
Aelwen Figheadair: A composed and calculating silkblood queen with resilience to the cube's influence.
Elo the Superior: An eye tyrant so consumed by ego, paranoia, and poetic delusion that he believes the cube's collapse will make him a king.
Gramir Brighthold: A greykin dwarf cleric left fractured by the cube's experiments, now drifting between lucidity and euphoric detachment.
Tanveer Arkenar: T’sinrae’s trusted drow warrior supervising others in collecting traumatic memories.

Factions

BlissCore Staff: Greykin dwarf creators of the cube and researchers. All dead or absorbed, except for one cleric and the PCs.

T’sinrae Court: Drow hoarders of pain and memory. Ruthless, beautiful and horrifyingly nice.
