description: For 4-6 Players, Levels 9-12:The Grand Conjunction has come to pass!As a result, the lords of Ravenloft have broken through the Mists and escaped into the Prime Material Plane. Bit by bit, monsters of the demiplane of dread are following behind. And in the midst of all, Azalin the Lich and Strahd von Zarovich a power game - a game with deadly stakes, most notably the player characters' lives. Unless the adventurers act quickly, death will be the least of their troubles!This is the second of two adventures that feature Azalin and Strahd von Zarovich in their endless conflict. As a sequel to From the Shadows, this module gives the player characters an oppurtunity to atone for the evil they unwittingly caused as pawns of Azalin. The culmination of a six-part series of adventures dealing with the Grand Conjunction, Roots of Evil gives the player characters an oppurtunity to literally save the universe (as well as themselves!).Until the dark powers recapture the lords of Ravenloft, no place is safe....This is the 6th module in the Grand Conjuction Series.Here are the other modules in the Grand Conjuction Series, listed in the order of play:Night of the Walking Dead - Levels 1-3Touch of Death - Levels 3-5Feast of Goblyns - Levels 4-7Ship of Horror - Levels 8-10From the Shadows - Levels 9-12Roots of Evil - Levels 9-12It should be noted, that many Dungeon Masters have noticed that if they run the adventures in the order written, they end up needing PCs of level 8-10 for the second sign of the Hexad, yet PCs of level 3-5 for the third sign of the Hexad (etc.).The solution to this continuity problem is to simply change the order of the hexad to suit the levels.Just change the order of the Hexad Verses to match this, (in the order the game modules are listed above), and you will be able to run a Grand Conjunction Campaign without this problem.It should be noted that the Hexad and notion of the Grand Conjunction was started after the first few modules had already been published and the prophecy was retroactively applied to those.
