The Throne of Bloodstone

Module for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons role playing game

H4 The Throne of Bloodstone is an Official Game Adventure or "module" for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role playing game.

In The Throne of Bloodstone, the player characters go to the Abyss to steal the powerful Wand from Orcus. This module is recommended for characters between levels 18 and 100. They play the rulers of Bloodstone Pass. A war against the Witch King of Vaasa has come to a standstill. The players venture into the Abyss, destroy a mighty demon, steal the Wand of Orcus and take it to the Seven Heavens to be destroyed. The battle between the mighty undead army of the Witch King of Vaasa and the forces of Bloodstone has come to a standstill. As long as the source of the Witch King's power is at work, his evil forces will never be defeated! This module requires the player characters, as the rulers of Bloodstone Pass if following the series, to find the true power behind the Witch King and defeat it. The module requires the players to journey to the Abyss, confront Orcus, one of its greatest demons, steal the Wand of Orcus, and destroy it. The wide range of levels the module is for is dealt with in several ways as well as the general principles described above for dealing with 100th level characters. For some encounters either the number and/or type of opponents vary or the NPC's reaction to the characters vary depending on the total level of the party. Some areas in the module like the city of liches or the city of 100,000 demons, are really too difficult for any party to overcome directly and require approaches other than brute force.

Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, found it strange that the module purports to be usable for character levels 18 100, "considering there are no rules for character levels above about 25 in AD&D".
