Eclipse at the Elderbloom
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
A rare celestial event approaches, and with it, something feels… off.
High among the branches of the Elderbloom—a colossal, living tree that shelters a quiet academy—preparations for the Crystal Eclipse should be well underway. Instead, the halls have fallen silent, and the air hangs heavy with strange magic.
As the eclipse draws near, your party arrives with intention to watch from the observatory, but what begins as a simple ascent quickly becomes something more, as shifting magic, environmental hazards, and subtle signs of unrest guide your journey upward. The deeper you climb, the clearer it becomes: whatever is happening here is tied to the eclipse itself—and time is running out.
