The Orcs of the Severed Hand are a shadow of their former greatness, but, like a wounded animal at bay, are yet dangerous foes. Laid low by the long-dead adventurer-lord Valentin Ironwolf and the perfidious goblins of the Blood Moon, the tribe’s remnant claims the hidden vault of the mad, doom-obsessed adventurer Armytr Byranthyra as their home. Therein, their savage and racist chieftain dreams of reforging his tribe and eclipsing his father’s glory but can do little but raid outlying farmsteads—for now.

This System Neutral Monstrous Delve presents the Orcs of the Severed Hand, along with a detailed overview of their hidden home—the hidden vault of the mad adventurer Armytr Byranthyra.

About Monstrous Delves

A Monstrous Delve is not a “proper” adventure. Rather, it is a starting point for your creativity. We provide a flavoursome overview of the delve and the monsters therein. You provide their stats and their treasure and pick a suitable adventure hook to draw the characters to the place.

Monstrous Delves are designed so that you can add them to your campaign with the minimum of fuss and effort. Have the characters got lost (deliberately or accidentally)? Have they decided to explore an area of wilderness you have yet to detail? Do you need a side trek or diversion? Simply drop a Monstrous Delve in their path!

Monstrous Delves are system-neutral; however, it is impossible to avoid all game references. A few generic terms such as elf, orc, fighter and cleric appear in the text. Modify these as necessary to suit your game and campaign world.
