8Sent to a Distant Land
Mighty magic has hurled the heroes across the world to the continent of Arcadia, but their remarkable travel is no accident. In the land of Xopatl, the heroes find ancient legacies that unlock the secrets they have carried ever since they awoke in the realm of the dead. But this land of magic and wonder is no safe haven-agents of the Whispering Tyrant terrorize even this distant nation. If the heroes can overcome followers of wicked new gods and defend a city desperate to revitalize its lost magic, they might learn how to turn the tide against the Whispering Tyrant and put an end to his fearsome weapon forever. From lively festivals and masked brawlers to undead terrors and arcane botany gone horribly wrong, the heroes are sure to find more than they bargained for in a land unlike any other they've seen.
