“As the flame of my second life sputters and dims, I find myself thinking more and more on those heroes

who, though we first met as enemies, granted me another opportunity to sip from life’s cup. Great were

their deeds and deep their wisdom, yet the tale of their adventures in Castle Whiterock has not been told:

the helpless lives they saved and the wicked lives they ended, the diabolic ingenuity of their adversaries, the

desperate moments when hope was faint, and their final victory over the terrible dragon Benthosruthsa.

“If I am granted sufficient time, I will see this amended. The world will know of the champions of Castle

Whiterock...”

-Koborth the Risen, General (retired)

Welcome to Castle Whiterock!

T his boxed set comes complete with four colored

The gazetteer reveals the history and legends of the

Kingdom of Morraine, describes its geography and envi-

rons, provides information on its settlements, towns, and

cities, introduces several of its key figures past and pres-

ent, and hints at the dangers awaiting they the heroesface.

The gazetteer also extensively covers Cillamar, which is

only a day’s ride from Castle Whiterock. Although the

gazetteer builds off information from DCC #35:

Gazetteer of the Known Realms , the particulars can easi-

ly be changed to fit any campaign setting, and it is not

necessary to own DCC #35 to use this boxed set.

books of the adventure, a separate booklet for

maps and another for handouts, a gazetteer of the

Kingdom of Morrain (including the town of Cillamar), a

poster map showing Cillamar on one side and the final

two levels of the dungeon on the reverse, six loose-leaf

character sheets of the pregenerated PCs (plus one blank

character sheet), and, finally, what you’re reading now,

which provides an overview of the boxed set and

includes an index of people, places, and items in Castle

Whiterock.

The character sheets feature portraits of the pregenerated

characters. If you would like to start playing Castle

Whiterock immediately, use these character sheets. When

your characters reach second level, turn to Appendix F in

the black book and photocopy the blank character sheets

there. You can use those blanks as your characters

advance in level.

The adventure, as noted above, is broken into four books.

The red book, “Ruins of Castle Whiterock,” covers lev-

els 1-6A. It includes a handy Introduction that has sever-

al suggestions for GMs on how to use the dungeon. Next

is the blue book, “Peril, Paradise, and Plunder,” which

covers levels 6B-9B, and then the green book, “The

Crown of Bone,” which includes levels 9C-12A. Finally,

the black book, “The Fiery Gauntlet,” details the adven-

ture’s exciting conclusion (levels 13-15). The black book

also includes all the appendices, which feature several

handy GM reference sheets and cover new material pre-

sented in the adventure.

When you’re ready, open “Ruins of Castle Whiterock”

and turn to the Introduction....

Index and Glossary

T his index includes a glossary entry for each term, and is divided into three sections. The first section lists peo-

ple and organizations. The second section lists places. The third section lists things. Page numbers preceded

by a G can be found in the gazetteer. Page numbers without a G are in the red, blue, green, or black books

(which use a consistent, unbroken page numbering from the first page of the red book to the last page of the black

book). Entries notated with an asterisk (*) are referred to by name within this boxed set, but do not actually appear

as encounter elements in the adventure or the Kingdom of Morrain gazetteer.
