This is TSR’s #9540 Forgotten Realms How the Mighty are Fallen for use with the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons role playing game and the Netheril: Empire of Magic boxed set. It was released in 1996.

 

As the floating cities of Netheril hover peacefully in the air, the winds of intrigue boil all around them. The phaerimm continue to plot the downfall of the Netherese even as Karsus prepares for the casting of his greatest spell. Undead walk the land, driving orcs and humans before them. And somewhere below the greatest nation of Faer?n, the Tarrasque awakens from a long slumber.

 

How the Mighty Are Fallen is an adventure designed for use with the Netheril: Empire of Magic boxed campaign setting (which is required to play this adventure). Within these pages, the final heroes of Netheril can:

•Gather the spell components that Karsus requires for casting his "most wondrous" spell, the only 12th-level spell ever know. He just needs a few body parts from two creatures-a gold dragon and the Tarrasque.

•Reunite lost lovers after they have been separated by death. Nopheus's wife was killed in a magical explosion, and now he's finally saved enough money for her to be resurrected. Certainly a dead body couldn't pose a threat to a band of stalwart heroes?!

•Follow the winds of Fate to wherever Tyche delivers them. Numerous side adventures allow players to take their characters to a variety of different locations. Some heroes might want to follow the trail of the missing nether scrolls, while others might want to join the resistance and fight Karsus and the other archwizards. But only the bravest hearts can take the first step....

 

An adventure for Characters of level 13-14
