Shadow of the Cursed Cathedral is an adventure for Shadowdark RPG from Jordan Rudd, for levels 5-7.
The sanctity of this place has been fouled. For nearly a century, the faithful of Saint Terragnis have made their pilgrimage to the cathedral in the town of Bailith to pay devotion and see the holy relics of their deity. It was built on the site of the battle of Bailith, where the church of Saint Terragnis fought a demon named Vanthaxis, the Shadowed One, and forced him back into the abyss whence he came.
But since a month ago they say the cathedral is cursed and the high priest himself has deserted it. No one venturing to the sacred edifice has returned, and a foul presence hangs like a nightmare over the town. Only the desperate and destitute now remain in Bailith. With the cathedral unguarded and abandoned, its treasures and valuable artifacts are ripe for the picking by any soul brave or foolhardy enough. Not to mention the fame and glory that wait for anyone able to drive back the darkness and cleanse this once holy place.
The party will investigate the town, meet the poor souls that remain and investigate the dark curse surrounding the cathedral and the catacombs below it. They will face shadowy demons, duplicitous priests and fierce rivals.
