It Came from the Sky is an adventure module set in Malatra – Living Jungle using the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition ruleset. It is part of the Living Jungle series of adventures published for the RPGA Network.
Summary[]
The adventure takes place after the events of The Sickness, in the Year of Despair (1375 DR), Malatran calendar. The spirits guided the heroes of the Ling Jungle toward the saurial village of Lilac, where Starr the Shaman and Trueblood the Witch-Doctor shared a vision with them of a ball of fire plummeting from the skies. The meteorite fell onto the Malatran Plateau, leaving fiery death and destruction within its crater. The jungle spirits contained the destruction and extinguished the fires. When they saw a local tree transformed through the meteor's magic into Spirit Tree, they communed with laterals, prophesizing the tree to be used in the looming battle with the Tamara. The adventurers were tasked with digging the tree out and transporting it to Lilac. Subsequently, the Spirit Tree was delivered to the saurial witch doctor, and the group only needed to decide what kind of weapon they would craft using the wondrous tree.

Notes[]
- ↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff and the Living Jungle campaigns took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City/Living Jungle adventures were dated with real-world dates and year names on the Malatran calendar, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR). As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month. Using that data, we can use the Legacy of the Headshrinker to date the Living Jungle adventures. The adventure features Malatran heroes traveling to the Vast and meeting several player character from the Living City campaign. Legacy of the Headshrinker takes place in 2000 – The Year of Great Change, which correlates with 1373 DR. This means other named years in the Living Jungle campaign can receive a DR conversion: The Year of Awakening (1995) – 1368 DR;The Year of Discovery (1996) – 1369 DR;The Year of New Peoples (1997) – 1370 DR;The Year of Gathering Darkness (1998) – 1371 DR; The Year of Sorrow and Hope (1999) – 1372 DR;The Year of Great Change (2000) – 1373 DR;The Year of Tigers Curse (2001) – 1374 DR;The Year of Despair (2002) – 1375 DR;The Year of Lion's Victory (2003) – 1376 DR.
