How the Mighty Are Fallen
As the floating cities of Netheril hover peacefully in the air, the winds of intrigue boil all around them. The phaerimm continue to plot the downfall of the Netherese even as Karsus prepares for the casting of his greatest spell. Undead walk the land, driving orcs and humans before them. And somewhere below the greatest nation of Faerûn, the Tarrasque awakens from a long slumber. How the Mighty Are Fallen is an adventure designed for use with the Empire of Magic boxed campaign setting (which is required to play this adventure). Within these pages, the final heroes of Netheril
Gather the components that Karsus requires for casting his "most wondrous" spell, the only 12th-level spell ever known. He just needs a few body parts from two creatures - a gold dragon and the Tarrasque.
Reunite lost lovers after they have been separated by death. Nopheus's wife was killed in a magical explosion, and now he's finally saved enough money for her to be resurrected. Certainly a dead body couldn't pose a threat to a band of stalwart heroes?!
Follow the winds of Fate to wherever Tyche delivers them. Numerous side adventures allow players to take their characters to a variety of different locations. Some heroes might want to follow the trail of the missing nether scrolls, while others might want to join the resistance and fight Karsus and the other archwizards. But only the bravest hearts can take the first step....

The perfect companion for the Neteheril boxed set, this is a high level adventure in which the characters are directly entangled in the events surrounding the fall of one of the most powerful empires in the FR setting. Inside are wizards beyond 40th level, 12th level spells gone wrong, the Tarrasque, a Gold Dragon, cities that float... And a final villain with an amazing architecture gusto! What else do a DM wants?
