A dark, terrible secret lurks beneath the seemingly placid town, and only the PCs can stand against the horror it represents.

Ari Marmell has been writing RPGs and fiction for many years now, and has over a dozen credits for Wizards of the Coast. He’s recently been reading far more H.P. Lovecraft than is probably good for him. Any similarities between Ashenport and a small New England city known as Innsmouth are not even remotely coincidental.
