.The Thrice-Cursed Crown

A Free Adventure for 1st-Level Characters

by Mike Mearls

The Thrice-Cursed Crown by Mike Mearls is an introductory adventure for Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed. If you’ve been looking for a good way to introduce your friends to Arcana Unearthed, running this 14-page free adventure is a great way to do it. It also makes a fun one-shot as a break from your normal game or a good starting point if you’re looking to launch a new campaign in the Lands of the Diamond Throne. I hope you enjoy it!

—Monte Cook

This adventure is the story of the Crown of Varran, an ancient artifact that has brought woe and ruin to all who have claimed it. The only book you need to play is a copy of Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed variant player’s handbook. Some DMs may also wish to refer to the DMG and MM on certain rules points.

If you use miniatures in your game, the Arcana Unearthed line of metal miniatures produced by Iron Wind Metals offers some figures appropriate for many of the characters in this adventure. The recommended miniature and its stock number appear with the descriptions of these characters.
