Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle

Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle is a 5-edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure for the Forgotten Realms.
==Summary==
A group of Red Wizards of Thay have constructed a base that contains a quartet of netherese portals that each lead to powerful elemental nodes. In order to access the power of those nodes, they need the portal keys. A Red Wizard managed to acquire one of the keys by attacking the Floshin Estates but was caught and executed in Daggerford after he passed the key on to an agent.
Sir Isteval, a retired paladin from Cormyr, hires a group of adventurers to go on a series of quests that result in acquiring the remaining three keys, taking the group to locations such as the Lizard Marsh and Mount Illefarn before engaging in a climactic battle in the ruins of Dragonspear Castle with vengeful red wizards and the rakshasa who has been manipulating events.

===Background===
* This adventure was originally only available in print to those who ordered it and attended GenCon 2013 but a few copies were put up on eBay. Presumably, fan demand was the reason for its eventual public publishing in December.
* From November 2 to 3 of 2013, Wizards of the Coast held a 25-hour marathon on the D&D Twitch TV channel as part of the Extra Life charity event, having rotating groups of players run through this module.
* The adventures contained within were designed as a preview for D&D Next and almost half of the book is taken up by rules.
* Some of the Realmslore provided in the book is taken from Under Illefarn Anew, a work compiled (but at the time unpublished) by Eric L. Boyd, that contains work by several Realms authors and contributors.
* This module acts as a sort of prelude to the Dreams of the Red Wizards trilogy of modules.
