The Gifts of Prax

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A dancing horned humanoid, representing Eiritha, in a simplified style.The Shaman Erhehta wants vengeance after an attack that left him weakened and unable to defend his people, the Straw Weaver Bisons.  The adventurers are crucial to this, being sent to gather what he requires, and wrestle with the elements that make Prax what is it, for good or ill.

However, there are others who may wish to stop them; the attack on Erhehta was not what it seemed, and perhaps, after all, sane counsel can prevail.  Or perhaps, like a Storm Bull with his eyes set on Chaos, Erhehta cannot turn aside from his path.  The adventurers will have to make the decision of whether to help him in what may be an unjust and unwise attack, or whether to abandon their promises and do what might - or might not - be the right thing.

The Gifts of Prax is written to fit well after Stone and Bone and its attack on Erhehta, but no knowledge of that adventure is required, and the adventures can be played in either order.  It is best followed by The Lifethief. The adventure is available in Print on Demand in Sacred Earth, Sacred Water, which has additional setting, NPCs, and appendix items not available elsewhere.

The adventure can last between 1 session and many, depending on how much detail the gamemaster wishes to include.  2 sessions of 3-4 hours is the most likely.  It is possible to complete the entire adventure without combat, but many combat options are presented for the gamemaster to add as they wish.  There are scaling notes to help adjust the difficulty for any group, from a small, new set of would-be warriors, to hardened adventurers.

A full colour player handout of Erhehta's needs is included, along with a free colouring page for children, Storm Bull cultists, and those who want to relax in down time.

What do buyers think?

"Evocative descriptions of Prax make it easy to visualise, and the scenario has a lovely sense of place, a harsh environment teeming with ever-present spirits. There's great artwork throughout, mixing high-quality finished work with primitive pictoglyphs. And the encounters appendix will be handy for any group venturing into the badlands..." - Nick B.

Content warning: This book contains a realistic depiction of an undead creature which may be distressing to some.  It is in the Encounters Appendix, and does not form the main part of the plot.

Utterly brilliant. Played through this in my campaign and we had a great time. Two of my players now have Straw Weaver Bison wives (one has 2) with babies on the way! This scenario really captures the essence of Prax, shamanism and community. Its great [...]

This confidently crafted adventure is situated in Prax. It involves moral choices and a well-woven mission that brings the players into contact with a great mix of encounters. ‘Prax is a harsh land where the elements are unmixed’ - what a great li [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
