Sons of Gruumsh is an adventure module for the Forgotten Realms setting using the 3.5-edition Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. It is set in Melvaunt and the Thar and sees player-characters pitted against a gathering orc army.
Trouble brews in Thar as orc tribes converge on the ruined fortress of Xûl-Jarak, flocking to the banner of a charismatic warlord. What are their wicked intentions, and what connection do they have to the six missing nobles from Melvaunt?
The stand-alone Dungeons and Dragons adventure is designed for 4th-level characters. Although set in the world of Faerûn, it can easily be placed in any D&D campaign. To run the adventure, you need the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual, and the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. The adventure can be played using D&D Miniatures.[2]Index
