Humblewood: For Want of a Nail
"Go to Alderheart. Go to the council. Tell them I am coming."
Dark deeds are afoot in Humblewood. Mysterious disappearances, bandit activity, and the ashen echoes of the Great Calamity haunt birdfolk and humblefolk alike. While some do their best to shelter those in their care, others scheme to take advantage of the unrest.
Dedicated Swift Gale courier Flit Lightstep strides into this tangle of dark magic and political deceit, carrying a vital message strapped to his tiny leg. Can the actions of this humblest of heroes shift the balance of fate and save the Wood from the threats lurking in the shadows?
Written by Eisner and Inkpot Award Winner Gail Simone and enchantingly illustrated by Sarah Webb, Humblewood: For Want of a Nail invites you to enter the world of Humblewood from a new perspective.
After unraveling the mysteries facing Flit, Humblewood fans can include elements from the comic in their adventures with included 5e character creation options, stat blocks, and adventure hooks inspired by the comic.
