A One-Round RPGA Tournament Module based loosely on Macbeth
Evil Artifact, The Azure Shard, one of the Shards of Light, (introduced in The Doorway to Darkness) has manipulated adventurers into destroying the other two (The Crimson Shard and The Emerald Shard), thus becoming The Shard of Darkness. King Gregor Ravinia led a land devoted to Havernus, Lord of the Harvest. When the king began withholding the sacrifices to the harvest god, rather than distributing them to the people, the god blighted his realm. The king found the Shard of Darkness, now an onyx color, and it tried to possess him, but failed. He became obsessed with the shard, alienating his two sons, Eric and Stephan, and then began to make blood sacrifices to the shard to restore his realm...[1]
