The Star Cairns

] is an adventure module for the "Dungeons & Dragons" fantasy roleplaying game, set in the game's "World of Greyhawk" campaign setting.

The module was published by Wizards of the Coast in 1998 under its recently acquired TSR imprint for the second edition "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" rules. It is the first of three adventures in the "Lost Tombs" series for the Greyhawk setting and was followed in the same year by "Crypt of Lyzandred the Mad" and "The Doomgrinder".

The adventure concerns the Star Cairns, a series of stone warrens located near the Free City of Greyhawk that were used in antiquity by Suloise mages as magical research centers.

Cover text

Derro swarm in the Abbor-Alz. The Doomgrinder windmill's blades approach their zenith. Strange sightings in Hardby and rumors of a bandit empire in the mountains have commoners and nobles concerned. The Circle of Eight hopes that the key to averting this disaster can be found in the mysteries of a group of five ancient crypts, the Star Cairns. But first someone has to find the fifth cairn....

Five separate adventure sites playable individually or linked together, The Star Cairns can provide a diversion for treasure-hungry adventurers - or can be used as the seeds for an extensive campaign. Although the adventures are designed for four to eight characters of levels 5-8, each section can be adjusted for weaker or stronger groups.
