 THE TITAN’S MARCH

THE TITAN’S
MARCH

The Titan’s March is an adventure for Broken Weave

in which a Titan, a colossal monster on the scale of
a natural disaster, threatens to annihilate the party’s
Haven. The Survivors must act quickly to uncover the
Titan’s secrets and discover a way to stop it before it’s
too late. In their journey, they will experience first-
hand the devastation the Titan leaves in its wake and
may discover the tragedy of its origins.

‘The light… the beautiful blinding light…

it’s coming…’
— Sersa of Lantern Deep

Adventure Summary
A lone refugee called Sersa arrives in the Survivor’s
Haven. She has fled her home of Lantern Deep and
brings desperate warnings of a Titan on the horizon.
This Titan, known as the Suncursed Knight, walks
inexorably across the land, spreading Decay in its wake
and destroying any Havens in its path. Now, the Titan
has set its sights on the Survivor’s Haven, drawn to the
light and hope of the people there. The Survivors have
only four weeks to halt the Titan’s march before their
home is crushed underfoot.

The Survivors must gather the leadership of their

Haven and decide how to halt the Titan’s march. They
can investigate the devastation caused by the Titan in
Lantern Deep and search for the survivors, seek the
wisdom of strange Monsters that may know how to
defeat the Titan, or face the Titan head-on. Whatever
path they choose, they must act quickly.

Their investigations lead the party to a ruined temple

to a dead god that holds the key to the Titan’s history.
While navigating the Decay-ridden temple, the party
encounters twisted Monsters, learns that the Titan
was once a paladin of a sun god, and can retrieve the
broken fragments of the paladin’s once-blessed sword.

 BROKEN WEAVE
When they return to their Haven, they must rally the
community and formulate a plan to stop the Titan.
Do they work together to trap the Titan, reforge the
paladin’s sword into a weapon capable of slaying it, or
evacuate their homes and forge a new path deep into
the dangerous wilds?
YOUR HAVEN
This adventure assumes you are using the sample
Haven of Guardian’s Lament (see the Haven Sheet on
page 26, and Broken Weave page 187). It references
certain NPCs and key locations and uses the Journey
Distance and Difficulty shown in the Beyond the
Walls table on page 193 of Broken Weave.
If your group built your own Haven using the Haven
Creation rules (see Broken Weave, page 10), feel free to
substitute names, characters, or locations as required.
Even if you use Guardian’s Lament, we recommend
adding or replacing some of the named NPCs
throughout the adventure with meaningful NPCs
from your party’s Lifepath, such as family members,
allies, or enemies. This will help to connect your
party’s Survivors to the Haven, add additional roleplay
opportunities, and ensure they are invested in saving
the Haven from annihilation.
Regardless of whether you use your own Haven or
Guardian’s Lament, give your Survivors some moments
of safety, comfort, or emotional intimacy within their
Haven before they leave on their journey to remind
them what they’re fighting for.
BALANCE AND
DIFFICULTY
The Titan’s March is balanced to take a party
of four Broken Weave characters from Levels
1 to 3. The party should increase their Class
Level by 1 when they complete Lantern Deep
(see page 9) and again when they complete the
Sun Temple (see page 14). If your adventure
takes a different path, just remember that
the party should ideally be Level 3 before
they finally face the Titan at the adventure’s
climax. With some changes in the difficulty
of Tests and the number or type of creatures
faced, you can scale the adventure to suit a
higher Level party.
4
SERSA’S WARNING
As the adventure begins, read aloud or paraphrase the
following to your group:
‘The people of your Haven are on edge. The
wilderness has been dangerous recently: tremors
have split the earth, Monsters prowl at the edge
of the light, and you can hear a storm-like rumble
every sunrise that seems to grow louder with every
passing day.
Regardless, life in your Haven goes on. Night is
closing in, and you’re on your way to fetch a hearty
meal with your loved ones when you spot the
stooped outline of something shuffling through the
shadows towards your Haven, accompanied by a
long, gurgling moan.’
As soon as any party members get close or make a
successful DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) Test, they can
tell that it is a Halfling woman in an advanced stage of
Decay. Her skin has turned transparent and gelatinous,
and most of her body has sloughed away into a viscous
sludge that marks the trail behind her. As the party
approaches, or if anyone attacks the Halfling from a
distance, she gasps out a plea for help and collapses
into unconsciousness. She is clearly injured and in dire
need of a healer.
At this point, two influential NPCs from the party’s
Haven arrive on this scene, such as a political leader,
religious figure, skilled maker, or healer. In Guardian’s
Lament, the NPCs that arrive are Eldest Harrin and
Hunter Misha (Broken Weave, page 190). Eldest
Harrin warns the party about aiding the Halfling: ‘Her
Decay could spread inside the Haven. I am sorry, but
it is too much of a risk.’ Meanwhile, Hunter Misha
demands the party help the woman: ‘Any of us could
end up like her one day. We can’t turn her away!’
Whatever the Survivors choose, Harrin and Misha will
remember, shaping how they interact with them in the
future. Whoever the party sides with may offer extra
equipment or advice before their journey and openly
support the party during the Council Meeting (see
page 6). The opposite is true for whichever NPC they
deny, who may refuse to provide aid and will publicly
call the party’s intentions or ability into question.

Survivors have several options in dealing with the
Halfling woman:
• If they leave her outside the Haven, all Tests to
care for her or investigate her remains have
Disadvantage, due to the darkness and lack of
proper facilities.
• If they bring her inside the Haven, the party
must tread carefully to prevent her Decay from
spreading. This is a Group Test with a Goal of 10.
Over the course of one hour, each contributing
party member makes a single DC 10 Test using
either Intelligence (Local Lore) to find a safe
place to treat her, Charisma (Persuasion) to
find help, or Charisma (Intimidation) or keep
curious people away from the danger. If they
succeed, they manage to safely bring Sersa into
the Haven without spreading her Decay. If they
fail, the Haven’s Decay increases by 1.
• If they put her out of her misery or abandon her
overnight, she passes away. Only the physical
clues left on her remains can be investigated.
Sersa Greenleaf
The Decayed woman is Sersa Greenleaf, a Halfling from
the settlement of Lantern Deep and a blacksmith by
trade. She uses the Survivor statblock (Broken Weave,
page 236) and has Proficiency in Smith’s Tools. When
the party finds her, she has 8 Decay, 1 Hit Point, and
five Levels of Exhaustion — teetering on the verge of
death due to numerous injuries and exposure suffered
in the wilds.
Survivors have the following options to save the Sersa’s
life. If they succeed, the Haven gains 1 Hope:
• Saving her life with medicine alone is an
Extended Test with a Goal of 10. Over the course
of the night a Survivors must make three DC 10
Intelligence (Medicine) Tests. If they fail, Sersa
dies the next morning. If they succeed, Sersa
survives but remains unconscious for 1d4 days.
If they succeed by 5 or more, this time is halved.
Regardless of whether they succeed or fail, any
Survivor who spends the night tending to Sersa
gains a Level of Exhaustion.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
• If a Survivor uses a method of directly recovering
Sersa’s Hit Points, such as a Healing Poultice
(Broken Weave, page 116), she survives and
recovers well enough to speak and share her story
by the morning.
• If Sersa lives and the Survivors manage to reduce
her Decay by using Moonstone (Broken Weave
page 116), a Class Feature, or some other method,
she is eternally grateful for reclaiming part of
herself. The Haven’s Hope increases by 1. This can
be done during the night as part of her treatment
or later in your adventures.
Sersa carries a tattered satchel made of Strongback
hide, containing only her belongings. If she is alive
and awake, she can share their significance. Otherwise,
they can be investigated as follows:
• A set of well-maintained Smith’s Tools. Any
Survivor Proficient in Smith’s Tools can tell
they are well cared for and perfectly sized for a
Halfling.
• A scrunched-up handful of green leaves with blue
stems. A successful DC 10 Wisdom (Survival)
Test identifies these as common trail ration
wrappers from the surrounding area, indicating
that Sersa travelled from a nearby Haven.
• A pouch of 13 small nuggets of glimmering gold.
A successful DC 12 Intelligence (Local Lore)
Test identifies them as a metal commonly mined
and used in the nearby Haven of Lantern Deep.
• A Memoria in the shape of a moth, etched with
loving detail. A successful DC 12 Intelligence
(Natural Lore) Test confirms that it does not
resemble any moths known in the area. A
successful DC 15 Intelligence (Local Lore) Test
brings to mind an old folktale about a beneficent
moth who led the founders of Lantern Deep to a
resource-rich cave.
• A silver keepsake locket with no obvious way to
open it. A successful DC 10 Dexterity (Sleight
of Hand) Test reveals a hidden clasp to open it.
Inside is a sketch of a Halfling holding a smith’s
hammer that resembles a non-Decayed Sersa
and a half-Elf woman in chitin armour holding
a spear. The fixing bears the engraving ‘Sersa &
Esri, sisters in hope’.
5
 BROKEN WEAVE
If Sersa survives and regains consciousness, she
talks about the fall of her Haven. If she dies before
the Survivors can question her, they instead find her
tattered journal among her belongings, which recounts
the events.
• Sersa says she is from Lantern Deep (see page
9, and Broken Weave page 202), and was sent to
find help.
• A few months ago, they began to hear distant
rumbling noises every morning. A few weeks
later, Decay began to spread through Lantern
Deep. Nothing could hold it off: they tried to
shore up their Haven, but every day, the sky
dimmed a little more until their Haven was in an
area of eternal dusk.
• For weeks, the bellows in the distance grew louder,
crazed animals attacked the Haven as they fled,
the earth shook, and Decay continued to spread.
Finally, the cause of the troubles appeared on the
horizon: a Titan.
• The Titan was a nightmarish mix of human and
insect. It wore gargantuan plates of burnished
armour that starkly contrasted its insectoid plates
of impossibly dark chitin that seemed to absorb
light. It Decayed all in its wake.
• The rest of her people retreated into the mine
network to try to survive, while a few brave souls,
including Sersa, were sent to find help. Sersa left
Lantern Deep around eight days ago with a few
of the hardier Haven-dwellers, but she’s the only
survivor.
• Esri Greenleaf is her sworn sister and a powerful
Harrowed. The leadership of Lantern Deep
collapsed under the crisis, so Esri stepped forward
to lead the people until help could arrive. Sersa
begs the Survivors to search for her.
6
Council Meeting
The following morning, not long after the sun rises
and a thunderous bellow echoes beyond the horizon,
the Haven’s leadership calls an emergency meeting to
discuss what they party have learned from Sersa and
what to do about it.
The council meeting is an opportunity for the Survivors
to seek expert advice, devise a plan, and convince
influential members of their Haven to support them.
They are resisted in these efforts by other influential
people within the community who believe they
should take different approaches. As mentioned in
Your Haven (see page 4), we have included council
members from Guardian’s Lament, but you should
take the opportunity to replace them with NPCs from
your own Haven.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Once the council is gathered and everyone has shared
what they have learned, the Survivors can offer
additional information to help the council make an
informed decision. This information is tied to various
Classes and showcases the Survivors areas of expertise.
If your players lack any of the Classes, have a relevant
NPC offer the information instead.
• Harrowed characters know that Titans are an
incredibly potent source of Decay. If it reaches
the Haven, even if it is slain, the resulting Decay
would forever damn the Haven and its people.
• Makers know that the metals mined in Lantern
Deep are crucial to constructing many tools,
weapons, and arms used in the area. If the Lantern
Deep has truly fallen, it could mean disruption
for all the Havens they traded with. Of course,
claiming the mines for your own Haven could be
a great boon.
• Sages know various records of Havens finding
ways to fend off or slay Titans. Most of these have
hinged on exploiting a Titan’s specific weakness.
Alas, as each Titan is unique, a closer study
of this particular Titan or its origins would be
needed before the Survivors could identify any
vulnerabilities.
• Seekers can make an educated guess from the
timeline of Sersa’s events, the distance to Lantern
Deep, and the speed at which the Titan moves.
With all this in mind, the Haven has four weeks

at most before the Titan reaches your Haven. Of
course, this could change, given the time-twisting
nature of such a Decayed creature.
• Speakers have heard tales of ‘Esri the Harrowed’
before and her stoicism in the face of Decayed
Monsters. From these, they can conclude that if
anyone could survive a Titan’s assault, she could.
If so, she may be the only person who has stood
before the Titan and lived to tell the tale, making
her story invaluable.
• Wardens can quickly assess the defences of the
Haven and come to the grim conclusion that if
a Titan were to assault the Haven directly, there
is little the people could do to stop it. There is no
time to build a wall or dig a trench great enough
to halt a Titan.
CONVINCING THE COUNCIL
Each council member has their own idea on how best
to deal with the Titan. It’s up to the party whether they
adopt one of the council member’s plans or develop
their own. Once they’ve decided on their action plan,
they can convince the council members to support it.
You can find more details on the Guardian’s Lament
council members on page 190 of Broken Weave.
Each council member provides their own form of
support, but only if they are convinced that the
party’s plan is the right one or at least serves their best
interests. Convincing a council member to support
the party’s plan requires a successful DC 15 Charisma
(Persuasion) Test. If the council member is an ally of a
party member, this Test is made with Advantage, but if
they are an enemy or rival of a party member, this Test
is made with Disadvantage.
Eldest Harrin believes that the Haven must prepare
to fight. He knows this is practically a suicide mission
but refuses to leave the only home he has ever known.
Harrin is past his prime but willing to don his old
armour and lead the charge if he must. If convinced to
support the party, Harrin offers his sage wisdom and
the party counts as succeeding at the Consult the Elders
Preparation (Broken Weave, page 139) before their
next Journey.
Youngest Dolore is hopeful that the Titan can be
forced to change course or stopped entirely, but ‘only
if we can learn its secrets’. Dolore suggests investigating
Lantern Deep or the Titan itself to learn more. In
THE TITAN’S MARCH
the meantime, they suggest that the community
gather as many resources as they can and reopen the
underground ruins to hide within until the threat
passes. Not a complete evacuation, but a head start
if things go wrong. If convinced to support the party,
Dolore provides additional provisions from their own
personal stock. The party counts as succeeding at the
Procure Supplies Preparation (Broken Weave, page
140) before their next Journey.
Newblood Gelrith sides with Dolore and agrees they
should reopen the ruins. She doesn’t have her own plan
but asks the Survivors to bring back any supplies they
can from Lantern Deep. If they agree, the party counts
as succeeding at the Brew Tonics Preparation (Broken
Weave, page 139) before their next Journey.
Gardener Vig believes that the only course of action
is to fully evacuate the Haven and seek a new home.
Vig acknowledges that this route is dangerous and will
likely result in deaths, but he believes that it’s ‘better
than gambling on some last-minute saving grace’. If
convinced to support the party, Vig offers the use of the
Haven’s best mounts. The party counts as succeeding at
the Procure Mounts Preparation (Broken Weave, page
140) before their next Journey.
Hunter Misha recommends the Survivors speak with
the pair of Speakthieves at Thief ’s Roost (Broken
Weave, page 213). They are incredibly knowledgeable
creatures who have shared lifesaving lore in the past.
However, their guidance comes at a cost — notoriously,
the sacrifice of an eye or voice from a living person.
If convinced to support the party, Misha assigns one
of her best hunters to aid them. The party counts as
succeeding at the Recruit Help Preparation (Broken
Weave, page 139) before their next Journey.

 BROKEN WEAVE
THE NEXT STEPS
The next part of the adventure depends on the outcome
of the council meeting and the party’s plans. The party
is free to take whatever action they like, regardless of
the outcome, but going against the council’s decision
may cause members of the council to become their
enemies in the long run.
• If the party chooses to investigate Lantern Deep or
fails to convince three or more council members
to support their plan, Youngest Dolore’s plan is
implemented. The council requests that the party
investigate Lantern Deep to look for survivors
and gather information on the Titan. Proceed to
Lantern Deep (page 9).
• If the party decides to visit the Speakthieves,
proceed to Speakthief Nest (page 13).
• If the party decides to investigate or fight the Titan
directly, proceed to Edge of the March (page 17).
• If the party decides to evacuate the Haven,
proceed to Exodus (page 21).
Once the party decides, they only have a few hours
to prepare for the Journey ahead. See Travel and
Hazards starting on page 133 of Broken Weave for
details on running a Journey. The Haven is in the midst
of chaotic upheaval, with people frantically packing
their belongings, readying weapons, and otherwise
bracing for the worst. Make sure your Survivors know
that this may be the last time they see their home and
their loved ones. Ask each Survivor what they do in
this situation beyond preparing for their Journey, and
give them a chance to roleplay a brief scene.
CLOSER THAN IT APPEARS
Time is of the essence in this adventure, and
the party must journey to multiple locations
to have the best chance of surviving. If you
feel the party are running out of time, you can
use the Broken World to your advantage —
time and distance are fluid. The Warped Path
Journey Encounter (Broken Weave, page
147) can be the perfect opportunity for the
party to regain lost time.
8
Journeys in
The Titan’s March
The Journey Distance when travelling from Guardian’s
Lament to any other location in this adventure is
Medium, and takes 2d6 + 2 days. The Distance when
travelling between any other location, such as from
Lantern Deep to the Speakthief Nest, is Short and takes
1d6 + 1 days. The Journey Difficulty is 1d10 + 10, or is
determined by you based on the weather and terrain
the Survivors are travelling through.
As the situations within the locations the party can
journey to are pre-determined by this adventure, you
can skip the Arrival step of the Journey rules (Broken
Weave, page 148).
Decay and Hazards
Each location in this adventure lists its Decay and any
Hazards it has (Broken Weave, page 150). Remind
your players that if their Survivors finish a Long Rest
in a location with a Decay rating greater than their
own, they must make a Decay Saving Throw with a
DC equal to 10 + the location’s Decay. On failure, their
Survivor increases their Decay by 1.
The March Of Time
From the moment Sersa arrives, the Haven is in Crisis
(Broken Weave, page 131). As the Titan draws closer,
the amount of Crisis Damage and Decay it causes to
the Haven at the end of each week increases as shown
in The Titan’s March Crisis table. The Crisis Damage
is caused by dangerous animals fleeing the Titan,
increasingly deadly earthquakes, and eventually the
Titan’s assault. Appropriate defences such as walls,
moats, or a healer’s tent can grant some Resistance
to this Crisis Damage (Broken Weave, page 132).
Unfortunately, the Decay suffered at the end of each
week comes from the Titan’s aura itself and cannot be
avoided until the Crisis is resolved.

LANTERN DEEP
Lantern Deep (Broken Weave, page 202) is a largely
subterranean Haven founded in a cave network rich
with veins of sturdy ore and glittering gemstones.
Over generations, the inhabitants forged a community
around the shared hardships of mining, an appreciation
of durable crafting, and a practical outlook on trading
for everything the mines could not provide. They
revered a legendary protective moth spirit called the
Lantern Moth, which legends claim would protect and
unite their community during times of hardship.
When the party arrives at Lantern Deep, it has already
been ravaged by the Titan. Read aloud or paraphrase
the following:
An unnatural, pervasive gloom has smothered the
once-proud Haven of Lantern Deep. As you peer
through the darkness, you can only just make out
the jagged shapes of ruined shacks and countless
unnatural shadows moving between them.
Desiccated Husks and ember-lit Crucibles shuffle
through the streets, groaning in pain; Drainers slip
through cracked walls, probing for signs of life; and
the glittering blades of lurking Scythes glint in the
dark. At the far side of the Haven, a yawning mine
entrance is carved into the mountainside, its half-
raised portcullis resembling iron teeth.
Exploring
Lantern Deep
When the Survivors arrive at Lantern Deep, they must
succeed a DC 18 Decay Saving Throw or increase
their Decay by 1. They must make another Decay
Saving Throw any time they take a Long Rest within
Lantern Deep.
Aside from the destruction and Decay, there is little the
Survivors can tell from outside Lantern Deep through
the perpetual gloom. If they want more answers, they
must explore the area and seek out The Hearth (see
page 10) at the centre of the mines.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
PEOPLE LIVED HERE
Whenever you need to generate a random Monster
within Lantern Deep, roll 1d4 on the Decayed Survivor
table to determine which one the party encounters.
DECAYED SURVIVOR
1d4 Monster
1 Crucible (Broken Weave, page 258)
2 Drainer (Broken Weave, page 262)
3 Husk (Broken Weave, page 266)
4 Scythe (Broken Weave, page 272)
As the Survivors move through Lantern Deep, add in
brief moments where they encounter faded signs of
life from those who lived there. Play on the tragedy of
these sights and look for ways to tie them back to the
Survivor’s Haven. If one of your Survivors is a Maker,
show a workshop covered with unfinished projects,
and so on. A few examples are listed below:
• A small shrine featuring a lovingly carved statue
of a Moth. Frantic disks of thin golden metal are
scattered around it; each one features a desperate
prayer scratched into its surface.
• A boarded-up home where someone or something
broke out from the inside.
• Trail glyphs painted on the walls indicating
‘Danger’, ‘Decay’, and ‘Help’.
• A wall of glyphs that depict family names and
seemingly random directions pointing into the
wild — the final messages of those who evacuated,
left in the hope that their loved ones could follow
them.
• A towering dead Warden, his defiant corpse still
on its knees and blocking the entrance to a home,
a trio of Husk corpses lie before him. There are
signs that people fled out into the wild.
• A small child’s toy of a Moth, made from gold
wire, miraculously unharmed by Decay.
• A memorial mural showing the faces and names
from past generations of Lantern Deep, the paint
discoloured and flaking from Decay.

 BROKEN WEAVE
LANTERN DEEP SURFACE
Decay: 8; Hazards: Oppressive Gloom
What’s left of the surface of Lantern Deep is a jumbled
collection of ruined buildings shrouded in unnatural
gloom and populated by the Decayed Monsters that
once called it home. The entrance to the mines is
highlighted by the guttering lanterns hung from its
entrance. All roads lead to the mines and the answers
hidden within, but reaching them is no easy task.
Moving through Lantern Deep unnoticed is a Group
Test with a Goal of 10. Over the course of one hour,
each Survivor can make one DC 12 Test using either
Strength (Athletics) to navigate across the crumbling
rooftops out of the Monster’s reach, Dexterity (Stealth)
to sneak, or Charisma (Deception) to lure packs away
to clear a path for the others. If the party succeeds,
they make it to the mine entrance without drawing
attention from the Monsters and can proceed inside.
If they fail, they are attacked at the entrance. Roll twice
on the Decayed Survivor table to determine what
ambushes them, then roll one more time at the end of
each round as another Monster is drawn to the noise.
This continues until the survivors can Hide from all
the Monsters or close the iron portcullis. Finding the
mechanism to lock it requires a successful DC
12 Wisdom (Perception) Test. Makers
have Advantage on this test due
to their understanding of
complex mechanisms.
10
MINING TUNNELS
Decay: 6; Hazards: Labyrinthine, Oppressive Gloom
Once upon a time, markings and murals on mine
tunnel walls safely led the inhabitants of Lantern
Deep to the Hearth and back to the surface. Now, the
Titan’s Decay has seeped into the earth, twisting the
meticulously planned and hand-cut passageways into
mind-bending knots that double back on themselves
in impossible ways.
Navigating the mining tunnels is a Group Test with a
Goal of 10. Over the course of one hour, each Survivor
can make a DC 10 Test using Wisdom (Survival) to
keep their sense of direction, Intelligence (Local Lore)
to read the faded signs, or Strength (Athletics) to clear
rubble or break through hastily erected barriers. If the
party succeeds, they reach The Hearth unharmed. If
they fail, they still reach The Hearth but stumble into
two random Decayed Survivors in the dark first.
As the party explores the mines, they hear the soft
flutter of large wings or feel the brush of moving air
as something passes, but they can never quite spot
whatever is causing the sounds.
THE HEARTH
Decay: 4; Hazards: Oppressive Gloom, Shattered Earth
The main residential area where the community lived
is known as the Hearth — a series of chambers deep
in the centre of a spiderweb of mines. The Hearth is a
large circular room that was once a naturally-formed
cave, now mined of its resources and smoothed into a
coommunal hub. Notable features include:
• The stone walls have been carved into beautiful
murals depicting the lives of the people of Lantern
Deep, mining, forging, trading, and celebrating.
• A large forge shaped like a stylised lantern sits
cold in the centre of the room, clearly more for
ceremonial purposes than everyday use. The
names of the past inhabitants of the Haven are
etched into its iron casing in tiny but beautifully-
formed letters.
• Against one wall, the furniture has been cleared
away, and a large map of the nearby wilds has
been painted onto the stone, with pieces of paper
pinned across it. It is clearly a central research
hub deemed vitally important to the Haven.

• A towering stack of meticulously organised
golden plates occupies a place of honour beside
the forge. Each one depicts instructions for
forging metal into tools, weapons, and armour.
• A series of large, crumbling cracks crisscross the
cavern, likely caused by the Titan’s earthquakes.
• A stockpile of supplies, hastily gathered and
packaged in preparation for an exodus. The
stockpile is the equivalent of 18 Resources.
Unfortunately, there is far too much for the
Survivors to carry. However, if they take a Short
Rest, each Survivor can gather 1d4 Resources.
Alternatively, a Survivor can search for one
piece of equipment using the Availability by
Population table on page 103 of Broken Weave
and treating Lantern Deep as a Haven with a
population of 200.
• Numerous crystal statues depicting survivors
kneeling in prayer are scattered around the area.
Only three remain intact. A successful DC 10
Intelligence (Natural Lore) Test reveals that these
are not statues but Paralyzed former residents
bound by a layer of gossamer crystalline thread.
Survivors with Proficiency in any Crafter’s Tools
have Advantage on this Test. Breaking them free
is possible, but it would take a Short Rest to do so.
Give the Survivors some time to investigate the Hearth,
just enough for a Short Rest. After the Short Rest, each
Survivor must succeed a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception)
Test, or be Surprised by a winged crystalline Monster
that enters through one of the cracks in the ceiling and
drops into the Hearth. .
The Lantern Moth
Not even Esri Greenleaf, Sersa’s sworn sister and the
Harrowed who swore to protect the people, could
hold off the Titan’s Decay indefinitely. As Decay ran
rampant through the Haven, and the barriers between
thought and reality crumbled, the people prayed for
their moth spirit to emerge and save them — forcing
a terrible change upon their final guardian. Esri has
been twisted into a horrifying mix of Scythe and moth,
with broad crystalline wings and razor-sharp claws. In
this Decayed state, she seeks to ‘protect’ the people of
Lantern Deep by encasing them in crystal and feeding
off their life force. Stats for the Lantern Moth can be
found on page 12.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
AFTERMATH
If the Survivors defeat Esri, they can complete their
investigation. If they manage to save any trapped
survivors, they provide a first-hand account of the
information below. If all the trapped survivors die, or
you simply want an additionally tragic swansong, Esri
instead briefly regains lucidity as she dies. She realises
to her horror what she has done to the people she tried
so hard to protect and spends the last moments of her
life trying to ensure something similar never happens
again. She gives her account and asks the characters
to take the matching keepsake locket she has back to
Sersa. Inside the locket is a small chunk of Moonstone
(Broken Weave, page 116), a rare mineral which can
reduce a person’s Decay. Esri was saving it for Sersa.
If Sersa is dead, Esri asks that the keepsake be buried
along with her sister’s, and the Moonstone used to save
someone in need.
Either way, the Lantern Deep survivors or Esri give the
following information:
• They explain that the combination of Decay and
their desperate prayers to the Lantern Moth must
have twisted Esri into the creature she became.
• The Titan is active during the day and dormant
at night. Its aura of Decay is noticeably less
dangerous when it is dormant.
• The Titan wears golden armour which has a
symbol depicting a sun with a face. The Sages
believe the symbol was connected to a nearby
ruined temple they call ‘The Sun Temple’ (page
14). They planned to send an expedition to the
temple to seek answers, but the Decay destroyed
the community before they could set out.
THE LESSER EVIL
Each trapped survivor has 14 Hit Points,
meaning the Lantern Moth can use her
Syphon Action up to 6 times. The party
must decide if they are willing to destroy the
cocoons, killing the people trapped within
and preventing the Lantern Moth from
regenerating her Hit Points and wings, or
fight all the harder to defeat them before she
sucks the life from them.

SPEAKTHIEF NEST
Decay: 2; Hazards: Clutching
As the party arrive at the Speakthief nest, read aloud or
paraphrase the following:
Your journey terminates as you carefully pick your
way into a narrow canyon choked with a bramble of
tree-sized thorns. Shortly after, you spot the shocking
blue plumage of the Speakthieves. A matching pair,
each six foot tall, perched amid a shield of sharp
brambles above. One pecks at the other, who turns
to face you. Hollow, empty eye sockets gape at you.
The Speakthief trills in a sing-song voice ‘What’s that
Aria? Ooooh! Precious mortals? Precious mortals!
Have you come to trade? Precious organs? Precious
organs! Quick before you fade!’
Speakthieves (Broken Weave, page 280) are strange
Monsters that offer twisted bargains to mortals,
exchanging wisdom gained from their long lives for
the eyes or tongues of living creatures — which seem
to rot and fall from their bodies regularly. The pair
of Speakthieves featured in this adventure are Aria
and Sonnet. Aria lacks a tongue and cannot speak,
while Sonnet lacks eyes and cannot see. They would
understandably like to rectify this. Roleplay them as
coy tricksters who like to repeat phrases and bob their
avian heads as if they are singing. They know the secrets
the Survivors need to defeat the Titan and know they
can leverage that to get what they want — fresh organs.
Sonnet refers to the Titan as ‘The Suncursed Knight’
and speaks about ‘him’ as if he were a bothersome
neighbour, barely worth concerning themselves over.
Sonnet claims to know three secrets that will ‘let you
set his sun for good’ but refuses to elaborate unless the
party agrees to a deal.
LET’S TALK
Finding and reaching the Speakthief Nest
can be challenging, as detailed on page 213
of Broken Weave. If you want to keep the
pacing tight, you can skip the Tests required
and narrate the party reaching the roost.
Alternatively, the Speakthieves could fly down
to meet the party, perhaps seeking to make a
deal for their soon-to-be hatched young, as in
the Apple of My Eyes hook on page 213 of
Broken Weave.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
An Eye For An Eye
The Speakthieves are missing three organs between
them: two eyes for Sonnet and one tongue for Aria.
Sonnet promises to exchange one secret for each
organ. The organs must be freshly harvested from a
living creature within one day at most. They must also
be of an appropriate humanoid scale ‘Rat eyes fall right
out! Plop, plop!’
The three secrets the Speakthieves know are revealed
in the following order:
1. They know where a sword lies which can kill the
Suncursed Knight: ‘A holy blade, a cursed blade,
the blade that caused him pain. A holy blade, a
cursed blade, the blade to end his reign.’
2. The sun’s light powers the Suncursed Knight: ‘He
slumbers, he slumbers, when the shadows drown
his face. He slumbers; he slumbers when the sun
has lost its grace.’
3. The Suncursed Knight was ‘born’ in a temple to
the south, where the party can find the sword
which can slay the Titan: ‘The temple, yes the
temple, to the south it lies in wait. The temple, yes,
the temple! Claim the blade and seal his fate!’
If the Survivors attempt to negotiate or demand
proof that the Speakthieves really know what they’re
talking about, they can attempt a DC 15 Charisma
(Persuasion) Test. The Speakthieves are especially
interested in the tongues of any Speakers and the
eyes of any Seekers, so this Test has Advantage if they
promise their organs in return. If successful, Sonnet
reveals the first secret in advance but refuses to go into
more detail until they receive their precious organs.
The Speakthieves would ideally like the Survivor’s
organs, as they are likely relatively non-Decayed and
‘precious’. The organs don’t need to come from the
same individual. If a Survivor agrees, Aria happily
descends from her perch and plucks the organs from
the offering individual with shocking speed and
horrifying care. Each time this happens, a Survivor
suffers 2d6 Piercing Damage. If they sacrifice their
tongue, they can no longer speak. If they offer one eye,
the Survivor permanently has Disadvantage on sight-
based Perception Tests. If a Survivor sacrifices both
eyes, they are permanently Blinded.
13
 BROKEN WEAVE
If the Survivors staunchly refuse to sacrifice their
organs, the Speakthieves begrudgingly offer an
alternative: hunt a nearby Weeper (Broken Weave,
page 282) and harvest the organs from it instead. The
Weeper has been haunting the thorny canyon nearby
and has an abundance of eyes and tongues. If the party
agrees, they can track down and hunt the Weeper and
harvest its eyes and tongues using the rules on page
106 of Broken Weave.
If the Survivors attempt to attack the Speakthieves,
they take flight and attempt to flee. They haven’t lived
as long as they have by getting into foolish bloodshed
with mortals who can’t accept a ‘fair deal’.
THE SUN TEMPLE
Decay: 8; Hazards: Oppressive Gloom, Shifting Weight
When the party arrive at the Sun Temple, read aloud or
paraphrase the following:
The Sun Temple may have been beautiful once. A
reverent building made of marble, glass, and gold.
Now, it is a shattered and darkened ruin, seemingly
frozen amid a cataclysmic explosion. Glittering
panes of glass and chunks of marble slowly rotate
in a spiral through and around the broken building,
defying gravity.
14
Plantlife runs riot throughout the ruin like a sacred
greenhouse, bleached of all colour by impossibly
bright light. The temple’s wide steps are packed
with desiccated corpses lying prostrate, their arms
and heads lifted to the sky in a death rigour that
feels painful just to look at. They reach towards the
spiralling glass column with scorched expressions
of pure rapture. Across the steps and pillars of the
temple entrance are trail glyphs warning of great
danger: Decay, fire, and darkness.
The temperature is unnaturally high, and the walls
are hot to the touch. In some places, the stone has
melted and hardened into glass that reflects an
unfamiliar, darkened sky. Soft, eerie singing sounds
echo through the maze of blasted stone. You spot a
harrowing sight: white-robed humanoids made of
ash drift through the ruins. Their skin and clothing
are scorched and their toes trail over the broken
stone but never touch it.
THE MYSTERY OF THE
SUNCURSED KNIGHT
Titans are mysterious entities that are only partially
understood by the Survivors of the Broken World. It is
tempting to give a definite story behind the Suncursed
Knight, but it is better to let the party come to their
own conclusions. Nothing is more terrifying than the
unknown and the inexplicable. For your reference, we
envision the Suncursed Knight’s origin as so:
The Sun Temple was once home to an order of sun
worshippers. They had a sacred ritual by which they
imbued their most devout paladin with their god’s
power in times of great need. The paladin would stand
in the central grove as an array of ancient ritual lenses
focused the sun god’s divine light onto their sword,
empowering them to demi-god-like status. When the
Breaking came, the Sun Temple attempted this ritual,
but rather than channel divine power into their chosen
saviour, it saturated them in a wave of Decay produced
from their sun god’s death throes.
The paladin twisted and grew so massive they shattered
the temple around them. Searing light and Decay turned
the priests to ash and left the Sun Temple in ruin. Now
the Titan is a mindless Monster, forever seeking the
blessing of light but denied due to its reflective armour
and light-drinking insectoid carapace. In place of the
sun’s grace, the Suncursed Knight is drawn to the last
remaining source of pure light in the Broken World:
the light of Hope that burns in the hearts of Survivors.

Exploring The
Sun Temple
The Sun Temple should feel eerie and otherworldly:
gravity doesn’t work as it should, an invisible choir
sings in a dead language, and the ashen figures
throughout crumble to dust at the slightest touch. Let
the party explore the Sun Temple at their own pace and
uncover the following clues or encounters as they work
towards its centre.
• An almost complete mural depicting gold-
armoured knights and white-robed priests
tending to the temple.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
• A heavily scorched mural depicting some form
of ascension ritual in which one of the gold-
armoured knights stands in a grove of trees
beneath an interlocking series of glass lenses in
the roof, directing rays of sunlight down through
their upheld sword.
• Small golden icons depict a sombre-faced sun,
the same symbol on the Titan’s armour and mask.
• The ashen priests frequently drift unnervingly
close to the Survivors but never seem to react
to their presence. They quietly whisper prayers
under their breath: ‘Light, protect us. Light, guide
us. Light, deliver us. Light, purify us.’
15
 BROKEN WEAVE
THE HEART OF THE TEMPLE
In the centre of the temple is a shattered and scorched
room of spiralling glass lenses which rotate around a
colossal sword, broken in three places and searing hot
as if it has just been removed from a forge. The three
glowing pieces of metal are fragments of the paladin’s
sword, which has grown grotesquely oversized due to
the ritual.
To learn more about what happened here, a Survivor
can make one of the following Tests:
• DC 10 Wisdom (Insight): The direction and
momentum that the floating pieces of the building
retain imply that something colossal burst out of
this chamber.
• DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine): The people here were
scorched by something superheated that burst
out explosively from this ritual. They probably
did not suffer, but they also had no chance to run.
• DC 15 Intelligence (Forgotten Lore): This looks
like a large-scale divine ritual. It likely went
wrong because of the Decay, suggesting it might
even have been performed as part of trying to
fight the Decay.
16
• DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation): The lenses
imply this ritual was designed to focus or harness
light and direct it onto the blade.
Each piece of the broken sword is two and five feet
long. Touching a fragment of the blade without
protection deals 1d6 Radiant and 1d6 Fire Damage.
Wearing protective gloves or wrapping your hands in
thick fabric negates this effect. The fragments can be
used in several different ways when Facing the Titan
(page 18). If the Survivors attempt to remove any of the
sword fragments, 1d6 + 1 Ashen Priests turn hostile
and attack the party.

EDGE OF
THE MARCH
The March is the vast wilderness of horror and Decay
that spreads around the Suncursed Knight. It moves as
the Titan does, twisting the wilderness in its wake. The
March is rich with Decayed life, filled with monstrous
plants, creatures and environmental hazards, all
bleached white by the Titan’s unnatural radiance as it
walks or cast into unnatural gloom as it sleeps.
The March
Environment
During the day, the Titan’s golden armour reflects the
sun’s rays in searing blades of light that slice through
rock and bone and spread Decay. During the night,
the Titan slumbers and absorbs every ounce of light it
can, casting the world into a soul-sucking darkness. To
reflect this, Decay and Environmental Hazards in The
March change depending on whether the Suncursed
Knight is awake or asleep, as shown in The March
Environment table.
THE MARCH ENVIRONMENT
Time Decay Hazards
Day 9 Razorshine (DC 12)
Night 5 Oppressive Gloom
Additionally, all the flora and fauna of The March
have been changed by the Titan’s presence, bleached
white by Decay and its unnatural light, or suffused
with a sucking darkness. This has resulted in two new
Decayed Transformations (Broken Weave, page
253). Each creature and fauna suffer from one of these
transformations.
Radiant: The creature or plant emits potent rays of
light that can pierce the darkness. The affected creature
or plant emits Bright Light in a 5 feet radius and Dim
Light for a further 10 feet and has Disadvantage on
Stealth Tests. Components harvested from a Radiant
creature can be used to grant a crafted object this light-
emitting effect permanently.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
Shadowed: The creature or plant absorbs light
like a hungry void. A creature or plant with this
transformation emits a 15-foot sphere of magical
Darkness, which snuffs all natural light that enters
its radius. Components harvested from a Shadowed
creature can be used to grant a crafted object this light-
consuming effect permanently.
Investigating the Titan
When the party enters The March, read aloud or
paraphrase the following. Keep in mind the time of day
and adjust this based on whether the Titan is upright
and moving during the day or curled into a tight ball
in slumber at night:
The Titan is a colossal creature of uncanny scale
your mind can barely comprehend. The deep
rumbling quakes caused by its footsteps shake you
to your core. It looks like a twisted mix of human
and insect, with too many twisted limbs and a long
segmented tail tipped in a wicked stinger. It wears
gleaming golden armour that may once have been
beautiful but only highlights the twisted black
carapace of the Monster that now wears it. Only a
fool would think to stand before such a creature.
Survivors can learn the following information from
inspecting the Titan from a distance:
• Harrowed can feel the Decay radiating from the
Titan’s armour. It feels like it is drinking in the
sun and reflecting it back into the world as potent
Decay. A successful DC 12 Wisdom (Insight)
Test tells them that without the sun to reflect, the
radiant Decay would be much lessened.
• Makers can recognise the distinct golden metal
used in the Titan’s armour, the same metal mined
in Lantern Deep, but much older, given the
signs of wear. A successful DC 12 Intelligence
(Natural Lore or Smith’s Tools) Test tells them
that no mortal blade or arrow could pierce such
thick armour.
• Sages observe something of twisted divinity
about this creature and its armour. A successful
DC 12 Intelligence (Local Lore) Test recognises
the sombre-faced sun as a symbol found on
certain holy relics and texts said to originate from
a temple to the south of Lantern Deep.
17
 BROKEN WEAVE
• Seekers know that, despite its size, it is still
possible to trap a Titan. A successful DC 12
Wisdom (Survival) Test lets them mentally plot
the Titan’s course and realise it will pass through
a narrow ravine before it reaches the Haven. This
could prove an opportunity to trap it if the ravine
can be rigged to collapse.
• Speakers recall hearing horror stories about an
order of ghostly, sun-worshipping cultists who
protected a broken sword that radiated light, not
unlike the Titan. A successful DC 12 Intelligence
(Performance) Test reminds them that the
cultists allegedly lived in a temple southeast of
Lantern Deep.
• Wardens can see that great shards of glass pierce
the Titan’s armoured torso. If there were any
hope of harming the Titan, that would be the
best place to strike. A successful DC 12 Wisdom
(Athletics) Test tell them that scaling the creature
to reach such a height isn’t impossible but would
be much easier if the Titan were brought low or
caught sleeping.
RUNNING THE FINALE
Facing the Titan focuses on the party’s ability
to lead their community in an epic, large-scale
endeavour against the clock. This is achieved
through a series of Group Tests. Remember,
the goal of Group Tests is reduced based on
the Haven’s Population (see Broken Weave,
page 155). The text includes a variety of Tests
the party can make, but be sure to allow
players to offer their own suggestions.
Executing the plan should feel as epic in
scale as the Titan the Haven is facing. As the
players make their rolls, give each of them
their own brief scene featuring their Survivor
and the people or important NPCs they
are inspiring. Celebrate the successes and
foreboding setbacks as the days tick by and
the Titan draws ever closer.
If you have players who like a good fight, you
can use the Suncursed Knight’s Call to Arms
Legendary Action to summon Ashen Priests
(see page 16) that try to hinder the party’s
preparations. Every Ashen Priest defeated
counts as 1 Progress towards the Goal of the
current Group Test.
18
After investigating the Titan, the Survivors can choose
what to do next. They may follow another lead to
Lantern Deep (page 9), the Speakthief Nest (page 13),
the Sun Temple (page 14), or they may return to their
Haven to discuss their findings. Alternatively, if the
party feels prepared to take on the Titan, proceed to
Facing the Titan.
FACING THE TITAN
Defeating the Suncursed Knight is a monumental task
that calls for sacrifice, no matter the course. Be sure
that your players know this and have a plan in place
before they proceed. By the time they reach this point
in the adventure, they should have uncovered enough
about the Titan to formulate a plan to deal with it. Feel
free to remind them of the facts gathered or even have
NPCs propose plans if they are stuck.
• The Titan awakens when the sun hits its armour
and slumbers when cast into shadow.
• It produces much less Decay when it sleeps.
• Its golden armour and chitin hide are almost
impenetrable, its only weak spot is on its upper
torso, where it was pierced by giant shards of
glass.
• The Titan is drawn to light and life, but its golden
armour and light-absorbing chitin deny it the
sun’s touch.
• The Titan originated in the Sun Temple, where
a broken sword that radiates light can be found.
This sword is supposedly capable of defeating the
Titan.
From this information, the Survivors will likely choose
one of two options: Trapping the Titan (see below)
or Returning the Suncursed Blade (see page 20). The
Survivors may also attempt to combine the two plans,
trapping the Titan so that killing it with the Suncursed
Blade is easier. Alternatively, they could decide the
threat is insurmountable and choose to flee (see
Exodus, page 21).
We have included read aloud text throughout the
following sections to help you narrate the epic
conclusion to the adventure.

Trapping the Titan
If the Survivors can permanently cast the Titan into
shadow, it should slumber indefinitely. Doing so
requires three key steps: rallying support, laying
the trap, and springing the trap. The Survivors must
complete these steps before the Titan reaches the
Haven at the start of the fourth week.
You have made your decision. You can not hope
to defeat the Titan, but you may be able to stop its
march. You know what you must do, but you will
need the support of the entire Haven if you hope to
succeed.
Rallying support from your Haven is a Group Test
with a Goal of 8. The Goal increases to 10 if any of
the council or the party’s rivals actively work against
them. Over the course of three days, each Survivor can
make one DC 10 Test using either Wisdom (Insight),
Strength (Intimidation), or Charisma (Persuasion)
to convince members of the Haven to help them. If
the Test is successful, the Haven rises to the challenge
quickly. If the Test is failed, an Allied NPC loses faith
in them, and it takes an additional 1d4 days to gather
enough support for the next stage of the plan.
You spend your mornings offering words of hope
to the people, convincing the wary that this is your
only chance at survival; you spend the afternoon
meticulously planning with your allies and devising
how you will restrain such a creature; and you argue
late into the night with those who dismiss your plan
as a fool’s hope. In the end, after days of negotiations
and discussion, you rally the people of the Haven to
your cause. Now, you must lay the trap.
Laying the trap is a Group Test with a Goal of 10.
Over the course of three days, each Survivor can make
one DC 10 Test using either Wisdom (Survival) or
Intelligence (Local Lore) to find a suitable place to
trap the Titan — most likely a deep ravine that can
be collapsed atop it — or Strength (Athletics) or
Dexterity (any Crafter’s Tools) to build the trap itself
by weakening the canyon’s walls, piling soil, or crafting
other ways of covering the Titan to block out the sun. If
the Test is successful, the community successfully lays
the trap in preparation for the Titan. If the Test is failed,
a terrible mishap occurs in the trap’s construction, such
as being set off early, or part of the canyon collapsing.
In this case, the Haven loses 1 Hope and its Population
is reduced by 1d6 + 3, as unfortunate people are lost in
the accident. One of the characters lost in this accident
THE TITAN’S MARCH
should be an Allied NPC. Recovering from the accident
and resetting the trap takes an additional 1d4 days.
You gather a group of the most stalwart and resilient
people of the Haven and venture into the wilds. You
find a likely spot to lay the trap and set about your
work. Together, you spend days preparing for what
is to come, sweating and straining as you place
support beams, fighting through the pain of cuts
and injuries to check and recheck your work until
eventually the trap is set. And just in time as, upon
the horizon, you can see the silhouette of the great,
grotesque Titan as it marches ceaselessly towards
your home…
Springing the trap is a Group Test with a Goal of
30. Over the course of one fateful day, each Survivor
can make three DC 10 Tests using either Wisdom
(Survival), Dexterity (Stealth), Strength (Athletics),
or Intelligence (Forgotten Lore) to lure the Titan into
the trap and spring it at the right time. If the Test is
successful, the Titan is successfully trapped, blocked
off from the sun, and falls dormant. If the Test fails,
the trap is only partially sprung, and someone must
sacrifice themselves to trigger the rest manually. Give
the Survivors the choice of who makes this sacrifice.
If none of the Survivors are willing to do so, an Allied
NPC offers to do it instead.
The Titan approaches. Its bizarre chitinous armour
seems to drink in all light around it, and its twisted,
sneering face twitches to and fro, seeing everything
and nothing. Those of the Haven who stayed to
help begin to falter as doubts creep in, but your
conviction lends them the strength to face the
terrifying monstrosity before them.
You and your allies leap into action when the
creature comes within range. You spring the trap,
sending an avalanche of stone and dirt crashing
down upon the colossal nightmare threatening your
home. The Titan stumbles and falters, realising too
late what is happening. A massive, twisted hand
lashes out in fury but only causes more stone to
tumble down on itself. The light from its armour
begins to fade, and its twitching and convulsing
slowly cease. You look down to see the monstrous
Titan completely buried in countless tonnes of stone
and earth.
It does not move. You’ve done it. You have stopped
the Titan’s march.
19
 BROKEN WEAVE
Returning the
Suncursed Blade
If the Survivors can retrieve the shards of the Titan’s
sword and plunge it into its weak spot, it will finally
grant the Titan the radiant light it so desperately seeks
and halt its march. Doing so requires reforging the
sword, traversing the March, and scaling the Titan.
You have reclaimed the shards of the shattered
blade, and with them comes a glimmer of hope that
you may be able to defeat the monstrous Titan that
threatens your Haven. But reforging the blade is no
small task…
Reforging the sword is a Group Test with a Goal of
8. The Goal increases to 10 if any of the council or the
party’s rivals are actively working against them. Over
the course of three days, each Survivor can make one
DC 10 Test using either Dexterity (Smiths Tools) or
Intelligence (Forgotten Lore) to work the shards into
a new weapon, or Charisma (Persuasion) or Strength
(Intimidation) to convince one of the Haven’s Makers
to help. If the Test is a success, the fragments can be
reforged into the Suncursed Blade. If the Test is failed,
the weapon is still reforged, but each Survivor who
took part suffers 1 Decay from exposure to the magic
within the broken blade.
THE SUNCURSED BLADE
The Suncursed Blade is a Reforged Greatblade
(Broken Weave, page 110). In addition,
whenever the wielder makes a successful
attack with the Suncursed Blade, it deals an
additional 1d6 Radiant and 1d6 Fire Damage,
and the wielder must make an immediate DC
10 Decay Saving Throw or suffer 1 Decay.
20
Over the searing flames of a roaring forge, the
Haven’s greatest Makers come together to reforge
the shattered remnants of a once great blade into
a weapon capable of defeating a Titan. The clatter
of hammer and tongs echoes ceaselessly throughout
the Haven. After days of exhausting work, a group
of sweaty and dirt-stained Makers emerge from the
forge — the Suncursed Blade has been reforged.
Traversing the March requires that the party
undertake a Journey through the Decayed aura
surrounding the Titan known as the March. This
counts as a Short Journey with a Difficulty of 20.
The Decay of this Journey depends on whether the
Survivors can correctly navigate the warping effect of
time and distance around the Titan to approach while
it is sleeping (see Edge of the March, page 17). This is
represented during the Group Travel Test step of the
Journey (Broken Weave, page 142). If half or more of
the party succeeds, they manage to approach the Titan
at night as it slumbers. Otherwise, they arrive during
the day when the Titan is awake.
With the Suncursed Blade safely secured, you say
what may be your final goodbyes and leave the
Haven to hunt a Titan. The creature is not hard
to find, as its grotesque silhouette dominates the
horizon, but reaching it proves far more difficult.
The lands seem to warp and shift as you draw near,
twisting and writhing beneath you. Plants grow and
die in an instant, birds explode in an eruption of
blinding light, and animals call out in voices that
are not their own.
After what feels like days, you suddenly find yourself
beneath the Titan and must scramble not to be
crushed underfoot. You have reached your goal but
must now scale this gargantuan creature and hope
that one of you has the strength left to plunge the
blade into its Decay-wracked body.
Scaling the Titan is a Group Test with a Goal of 30.
Over the course of one harrowing day, each Survivor
must make three DC 10 Tests using Wisdom
(Survival), Dexterity (Stealth), Strength (Athletics)
or Intelligence (Forgotten Lore) to climb the Titan. If
the Test is successful, the Survivors scale the Titan, and
one Survivor can plunge the Suncursed Blade into the
weak spot in the Suncursed Knight’s torso.

If the Test is failed, the party still succeeds in scaling
the Titan, but the Suncursed Knight recognises the
threat they represent. The Titan immediately makes
two Smite Attacks against two random Survivors.
If this reduces a Survivor to 0 Hit Points, they are
Critically Injured (Broken Weave, page 125) and fall
to the ground below. The impact from the fall causes
them to immediately fail a Death Saving Throw. If a
party member dies from the attack or the fall, the party
loses 1d4 Hope. They must now try to embed the blade
in the weak spot while the Titan tries to destroy them.
With the Suncursed Blade plunged into the Titan,
it is reunited with the rest of its parts, and its true
power is unleashed. The Titan is filled with blinding
divine light, which beams through the cracks in its
armour and chitin. Over the course of 1 minute, the
Titan halts in place and casts its uncanny eyes down
at the light within itself. All Survivors within 100 feet
of the Titan when the Titan stops moving suffer 1d4
Decay. Content at finally finding the light it sought, the
Suncursed Knight’s march is halted. It stands in place
unmoving, forever enraptured by the light inside itself
until the end of time.
With all the strength you have left, you drive the
Suncursed Blade through the cracks in the Titan’s
armour and into its back. It stiffens, lets out a
monstrous pain-filled scream and goes still. After a
moment, it twitches, and light begins to flood out
from the cracks in its armour.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
You flee as fast as your exhausted legs can carry you
and get as far away as possible. The heat on your
back is searing, and the world is filled with blazing
white light. When you reach what you hope is a safe
distance, you turn to see the monstrous creature
frozen in place, the Suncursed Blade embedded in
its back.
It does not move. You’ve done it. You have stopped
the Titan’s march.
EXODUS
If the Survivors decide that fleeing is the best option,
or their attempts to stop the Titan fail, the leaders of
Guardian’s Lament proclaim the beginning of a great
exodus — the final resort to protecting the people.
An exodus is a great and tragic undertaking. A Haven
is a home, where people have lived and died, loved and
grieved, but now they must abandon it all to survive.
There is no time to say goodbye as they would want.
They must make the difficult choices of what they can
save and what they must leave behind.
Yet Havens are more than the land they are built on.
They are communities and people, but even so, the
survival of any Haven is a victory and moving on from
a place of safety into the unknown is hard.
21
 BROKEN WEAVE
Time To Go
Completing the exodus requires three key steps:
evacuating the Haven, journeying to a new home, and
building a new Haven.
After taking stock of all you have learned, it is clear
that you have no hope of stopping the Titan’s march.
All you can do is try to survive, which means
leaving the only home you have ever known. But
people are still looking to you for answers, so you
must be strong in this tragic time and try to save as
many people as possible.
Evacuating the Haven is a Group Test with a Goal of
25. The Goal increases to 30 if any of the council or
the party’s rivals are actively working against them.
Over the course of one week, each Survivor can make
three DC 10 Tests using Charisma (Persuasion
or Intimidation) to organise the community,
Intelligence (Natural Lore or Forgotten Lore) or
Wisdom (Survival) to chart a course to a suitable
destination, or Strength (Athletics) to help packing
and moving goods. If the Test is successful, the Haven
breaks down the Haven and leaves, generating 1d4
Resources per party member who took part. If the
Test fails, the Haven leaves before the Titan arrives but
panic and terror overtake the refugees causing some to
flee wildly. Most return after a few days, but some are
never seen again. The Haven’s Population is reduced
by 2d10.
A week is not enough time to pack up dozens of
lives, but you do what you can. Some of you spend
your days calming the people of the Haven, trying
to get them organised and ensuring everyone has
a task to keep them busy. Others consult with the
Haven’s hunters and Sages to plan the safest route
around the Titan and try to decide where best to
make camp on the journey. The most physically
capable spend their days packing up belongings and
vital supplies and preparing the people to depart.
You have everything you need to survive but are
leaving your whole life behind.
Journeying to a new home requires the party to
undertake a Journey to scout ahead of the community
and lead the way to a place suitable for their new
Haven. This counts as a Long Journey with a Difficulty
of 15. Additionally, any time the entire party fails an
Encounter during their journey, the Haven’s Population
is reduced by 1d4.
22
With heavy hearts, you leave your home behind.
In a few short weeks, nothing will remain of it but
dust and ruin. But everyone is looking to you for
strength, so you must stand tall and forge ahead.
You can still see the Titan on the horizon, but it
grows smaller by the day. You traverse twisted
lands filled with pitfalls and sneak past hungry
predators, all in search of a new home. The journey
takes weeks. Supplies begin to run low, and you fear
many of your people will die to simple exhaustion
or starvation rather than any monster. Just when
all seems lost, you see it. It isn’t much, but there is
something about this place that speaks to you. This
is where you will found your new Haven.
Building a new Haven uses the Haven creation rules
(Broken Weave, page 10) upon the completion of the
party’s Journey. Generate a new Biome, Abundances,
Scarcities, Landmarks, and Crises for this new Haven,
and carry over the remaining details and key NPCs
from Guardian’s Lament.
After weeks of work filled with hard work and
difficult choices, the foundations of your new home
are in place. Smiles have begun returning to people’s
faces, and you can feel a sense of hope rising again.
Now, all your new home needs is a name.
Delaying the Inevitable
An exodus is an imperfect solution. By failing to halt
the Titan’s march, the Survivors are only postponing
its arrival. The Titan continues to wander the Broken
World, drawn to the light of Hope within communities
until it eventually finds the new Haven. This occurs
one Season after the Haven is established (Broken
Weave, page 164), at which point the Survivors must
decide what to do about its arrival all over again —
though now even further removed from the potential
solutions to be found at Lantern Deep and the temple.
EPILOGUE
Against all odds, you have done it: you stopped the
Titan’s march. You return to the Haven and are
greeted by worried faces and endless questions. As
word spreads of your success, cheers erupt from the
crowd as people hug and cry tears of joy. You are the
heroes and saviours of your Haven, and what you
have done will be spoken of for years to come.

To round off the adventure, describe the impact on
the Haven and the important NPCs featured in the
adventure. Broken Weave is a story about Hope in the
face of desolation. Even if the Haven has faced dangers
and lost people along the way, they pulled together
to face a challenge. That bolsters the community
with hope as they live to fight another day. The
community gains 1d4 Hope regardless of the outcome.
Additionally, consider the following when roleplaying
your epilogue:
• If the party succeeded in trapping or defeating
the Titan, the Haven declares a festival in their
honour, and the community comes together to
feast, play games, and share stories and songs.
The Survivors are celebrated as heroes, and the
Haven can enjoy a short respite from the dangers
of the Broken World.
• Depict the community coming together to treat
wounds and rebuild in the wake of the crisis.
People survive and rebuild.
• If notable NPCs or Survivors died during the
adventure, consider roleplaying funeral rites,
where those who remain can thank them for their
sacrifice.
THE TITAN’S MARCH
• If the party saves Sersa’s life, she chooses to stay
in the party’s Haven, becoming a staunch ally and
asset to the community as a skilled Maker.
• Lantern Deep remains a decayed ruin. However,
its resources remain a tempting prize. The
community may send out groups to salvage what
they can despite the risks.
• If the Survivors trapped the Titan or returned the
sword to it, the community is aware that it still
lies on the horizon, locked in place. One day, it
may even break free — or be awoken by someone.
• If the characters slay or trap the Titan, others
might come from miles around to learn more
about how they did so. The characters quickly
discover that Titans are unique, but even so, their
experiences can help others seek out the cause
of the Titans plaguing their Havens. In time,
the Haven may become a hub for research and
information on Titans and a place where people
come with their stories and plead for help with
their own Titan menaces.
