The Curse of Valerius
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
The Curse of Valerius
A dark fantasy one-shot for characters of level 6–8
A mysterious sword. A cursed fortress. A fallen knight bound by vengeance.
When the heroes discover a strange magical blade that refuses to be wielded, they soon learn it hides a sentient voice — loud, sarcastic, and hungry for revenge. The sword, named Steelmouth, claims its former master was slain by Lord Valerius, an undead warlord cursed to eternal torment within his mountain citadel.
What begins as curiosity soon becomes a quest for redemption, glory, and the breaking of an ancient curse.
Inside you’ll find:
- A full 4-act gothic adventure filled with undead horrors and dark humor
- The Citadel of Valerius, a haunted fortress with 13 detailed areas
- Unique roleplay moments with the sentient sword Steelmouth, your new loud-mouthed companion
- Fully statted monsters and a memorable final battle against Lord Valerius, the Iron Wraith
- A new sentient magic weapon — Steelmouth, the restless blade (+2, very rare, fully detailed)
Perfect for one to two sessions of play, The Curse of Valerius blends gothic tragedy with sarcastic heroism, offering DMs a mix of exploration, combat, and roleplay opportunities.
Will you break the curse... or become part of it?
