Perched on a rocky shore above an endless bay, Selmere shines at the edge of a wild continent. Merchants crowd lantern-lit markets, bards dance for coins, and hooded figures make deals in shadowed taverns. But beneath the city’s bustle, something strange is stirring. Shadows move like water. Doorways lead to the wrong rooms. Travelers lose hours of memory. Edicts bearing the king’s seal remind citizens that all Shadewalkers—those able to step into the silvery half-place beside our own—must register with the Crown. Still, on a beautiful day in Selmere, such mysteries hardly concern three simple adventurers.

Welcome to HoneyCon! Santa’s Village is in a honey cookie craze thanks to trending recipes on TinselTok, and the elves have shipped the world’s entire supply of honey to the North Pole to accommodate the demand. But when our ursine anti-heroes show up looking for the hoarded honey, they discover there’s more to this village than its candy-coated exterior. Revolution is brewing in the hearts of some enterprising elves who buck against Santa’s tyrannical moral rulings, and there’s no telling whether political turmoil will help or hinder our bears’ foolproof plan: get in, get the honey, get out.

Welcome to Merston. Population: who cares? It’s a town like any other — quiet streets, strip malls, Friday night football. The kind of place nobody notices, and that’s just how most people like it.

But under the pumpkin-spice and marching band parades, something else is humming. A haunting is brushed off as carbon monoxide poisoning, a creature hunting in the local playground is explained away as a rabid dog, and the nearby nature preserve… well, you don’t want to know what’s buzzing out there.

Most towns have secrets. Merston’s secrets bite. And tonight, those secrets are waking up.

CONTENT WARNING: This story includes gore, body horror, death, infestation, parasites in human hosts, mind control, and stinging insects.

The Dark Caribbean is a place of splendor and doom. Once-bright colonies now crumble under storms that never cease. The dead don’t stay buried here; barnacled corpses drag themselves from the surf, their empty eyes fixed on the living.

This is no party of heroes. This is a ragged crew aboard a battered sloop, hungry for coin and treasure. There is no glory to their names, only debts, bad luck, and the faint stench of desperation.

But in the Dark Caribbean, not all who sail these waters are what they seem.

The Lost District may have been abandoned by Duskvol’s living denizens - but not all who inhabit this city still live. These fine manor homes belong to the dead, now. Enterprising individuals who dare hunt for treasures in these quiet streets will find plenty of wealth left abandoned, and they need only avoid the local spirits - or, if they’re willing, perhaps pay their price.

The town of Brindlewood Bay is not unlike any other small, New England coastal town - except, of course, for all the murders. When the Jolly Good British Baking Show came to town, it was a stroke of good luck for a village primarily known for the most murders per capita on the eastern seaboard. But that luck, it seems, has just run out…
