Grim Hollow: Lairs of Etharis returns in a premium hardcover! 20 5.5E adventures (levels 1-20), each a perfect one-shot with its own map and encounters.
In the world of Etharis, hope flickers like candlelight. A world of Dark Fantasy, characterized by moral ambiguity, looming horror, and the crushing weight of your choices.
The Grim Hollow experience is built on the philosophy that every choice has a price and every victory is hard-won. Whether you are navigating the political rot of the Bürach Empire or surviving the untold horrors of the wilderness, Etharis provides the gritty, high-stakes atmosphere your table demands.
The shadows of Etharis are home to more than just myths. This collection brings the nightmares to your table with a massive bestiary and tactile environments:
70+ Formidable Monsters: From twisted undead and eldritch abominations to the horrible power of the Blightscale Dragon. Each monster is designed with unique mechanics that reinforce the lethality of the setting.
Tactical Lairs: Every lair includes detailed maps and environmental hazards that turn simple combat into a desperate struggle for survival.
Thematic Variety: Encounter everything from ancient ruins harboring forgotten gods to the gore-slicked dens of the world’s most prolific predators.
The environments of Etharis are as much your enemy as the monsters within them. Each lair is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, featuring tactical maps and interactive hazards that turn every room into a puzzle of survival. Whether you’re navigating the suffocating rot of a cursed swamp or the jagged, frost-bitten spires of a mountain peak, these locations are lethal ecosystems designed to test your players' resolve and resourcefulness.
We’ve done the heavy lifting so you can focus on the adventure. Lairs of Etharis is engineered to get you from "opening the book" to "rolling initiative" in minutes.
Ready-to-Run Adventures: With 20 standalone adventures, each entry provides clear hooks, stat blocks, and immersive lore that requires little to no preparation.
Adventure for All Tiers: From low-level survival horror to high-tier legendary hunts, these adventures cover the full spectrum of play, ensuring a challenge is always ready, regardless of your party's power.
Seamless Campaign Integration: Each lair is designed to be easily dropped into an ongoing Grim Hollow campaign or used as a dark detour in any 5.5e-compatible setting. Use them as side quests, primary plot points, or emergent threats to keep your players on their toes.
To bring these horrors to life, we’re offering a suite of accessories designed for both digital and tabletop play. You can arm your sessions with high-quality physical battle maps that capture every grim detail of the lairs, alongside a massive collection of creature tokens representing the 70+ monsters found in the book.
Stop flipping through indexes and juggling multiple bookmarks. Our integrated adventure spreads place everything you need right where you can see it. When the action starts, you'll have everything you need right at hand.
Forget the markers and the mid-session drawing breaks. Our custom map packs are specifically gridded and scaled for every encounter in the book. Just lay them down and let your players dive straight into the environment, perfectly rendered and ready for initiative.
No more substituting dice or random minis for the monsters your players are facing. Each monster is supported by a token, featuring every creature in the correct size and quantity. Just pop them onto the map and focus on running the best combat of your campaign.
