AD&D 2e: The Lingering Evil in the Shrine of Vadou Badoor

AD&D 2nd Edition Campaign – Levels 1 to 20
Deep in the fog-choked woodland mountains of Glenwitch, something ancient has begun to stir.
For centuries the Shrine of Vadou Badoor stood sealed, its evil contained by wards that have finally begun to crack. Now the corruption spreads: crops wither overnight, shadows move when no one is watching, and villagers wake with the taste of blood and forgotten chants on their tongues. What starts as a handful of disappearances and strange omens will slowly unravel into a generations-old nightmare that threatens to swallow the entire region… and beyond.
This is a long-term, old-school AD&D 2nd Edition campaign that takes characters from 1st level all the way to 20th. Expect a slow-burn dark fantasy story heavy on exploration, mystery, resource management, and creeping dread. The mountains are dangerous, the wilderness unforgiving, and the evil patient. Player skill, clever thinking, and careful choices will matter far more than raw power—especially in the early levels.
What to expect:
• Gritty, deadly AD&D 2e gameplay with real consequences
• Wilderness hexcrawls, tense dungeon delves, and political intrigue among the petty lords of the Glenwitch slopes
• A living world where your choices echo across levels and sessions
• Horror-tinged mystery with ritual, curses, and an evil that has been waiting for you
• Epic scope: from desperate low-level survival to high-level confrontations with forces that could reshape the land
If you love classic AD&D, dark fantasy with teeth, and the satisfaction of watching your characters grow from scared adventurers into legends who might actually have a chance against something truly ancient, this table is for you.
