Sur
By Bill Slavicsek
An adventure for characters of levels 3-8

Andok Sur, an ancient necropolis in the

Nentir Vale’s northeastern reaches, was
introduced in the Dungeons & Dragons®
novel The Mark of Nerath. If you haven’t
already read this novel, be warned that there
are spoilers ahead. Proceed at your own risk!

This adventure locale features two

encounters that you can use in any D&D
campaign setting. The necropolis is equally
well suited to the Chaos Scar, the Realms,
Eberron, Athas, or your home campaign.
It is designed for characters of levels 3–8 to
explore, but can easily be adjusted upward
to challenge characters of higher levels.
