Description
Since the fall of the Ilmarid Empire 10 years ago in a bloody coup staged by the leader of the Arcane Society, and the destruction of the Tinaran peninsula, you have lived on the island of Tinara. The last habitable piece of the peninsula to survive the catastrophic blast that destroyed the last major force of the Ilmarid Legion, as well as the land on which it stood at the time, Tinara is the refuge of thieves and smugglers. The smaller pieces of the penninsula, jutting out of the ocean like skeletal fingers, are referred to as the Shattered Coast, and provide a measure of seclusion to the refugees on Tinara.
One of the only survivors to reach the island, you have hidden your military past as well as you could, and taken up work as a mercenary. Amongst the thieves, pirates, and smugglers that frequent the island, not many questions are asked of you as long as you follow orders. It has been peaceful for the last few years, with little news from the mainland. Rumors have been coming in recently, however, that a member of the royal family - the family declared dead the night the capital city fell - still lives.

I really enjoyed this module. Great concept, immersive look and feel, excellent production value, and engaging story. Combat was quite tough, but I made it through fairly well with a Monk/Favored Soul/Sacred Fist. Well done!

What is supposed to happen after I destroy the 3rd Tome of Chaos??? The area triggers do not give me any new areas and I've tried to talk to everyone I can find but no responses, and the Journal doesn't help.

also, i thought it was awesome that i could give my human male character pigtails on character creation.

encountered a bug when you finally have the princess join your party. i attempted to level her up, but every time i finish the leveling screen it says "Invalid Character Points"

Hello ! SPOILER !! I managed to make the elven paladin fight: when I deactivate the AI for the entire group(the button just on the right of the "Rest" button), he doesn't fight. And, in the contrary, when I enable AI, he does ! And he is such a tough fighter that I did not had any problem against the different bosses ! ;-) Now I've got another issue: the game crashes in the second chapter (I'm gonna post in the comments of this second module)... :-( Bye, Jeum.

Hello ! Good module ! The story is interesting so far. But I've got a bug of AI: SPOILER !!! When I meet the elven paladin in the Vale, he comes with me but he doesn't fight ! Even though monsters strike him, he stays still ! I tried many orders on him but nothing changes that it. He fought twice (I don't know why) and was useless all the others fights ! Have you got an idea to lead him properly ? It's the first time I use this AI pack but it doesn't seem too complex to use... At this time, I manage to clear the area of his monsters. But I'm afraid I'll get into troubles if you put a tough boss or a large pack of enemies, later in the game ! ;-) Bye, Jeum.

@micchan: There's new heads/hairstyles!? Oh, patches. I forgot they made it so that hak paks load before character creation, hah. Most of those are NPC heads from the Obsidian campaigns, just made usable by the corresponding races, and I think I had a couple other custom made heads (I added but did not use because they did not lip-sync). _________________________ |>>> The Tears of Ilmarid Campaign >>>| |> Chapter 1 - Blood of the Fallen |> Chapter 2 - The Blood War |> Chapter 3 - Shadow And Light - Draft Revision 2

I left more detailed comments in Chapter 2. To summarize, very good mod, excellent story, areas are kind of plain but the story makes up for this. Can't wait for final chapter. _________________________ Failure is not an option

well, that was fun. I liked the story, and while there was too much hack'n'slash for my taste, I just cheated my way through it, so it worked out. I gotta ask-where did the heads and hairstyles come from?! they are georgeos! I want to have them in other campaigns too, is that possible?
