sword and Crown by Colin McCombThe sword and the Crown is an event unrivaled in Anuireaen politics. Every five years, rulers come from across the land to renew friendships, cement alliances, and provoke their enemies with poisoned words and sharpened swords. Wheels turned within Wales and plots abound. It's politics as usual in Anuire.

Except this conclave is different. Not only is it taking place in the PCs' kingdom, but before the festivities can't even commence, someone stages an attack on Prince Avan and kidnaps his daughter. And to whom do the regents turn to to rescue the princess? The hosts, of course! The PCs must win to their way past dangerous bandits and treacherous bells and discover a path through the dark is caverns where the slightest misstep means death. Only then does the "real" threat become apparent!
