Adventure inspired by Jewish folklore and mysticism. The adventure takes place in a tight-knit but divided religious community facing the perils of orthodoxy, magic, and fear.

The module includes themes such as Kabbalah, Jewish folktales, pre-Shoah Eastern Europe, belonging, prejudice and xenophobia, and survivor syndrome.

In terms of design, the focus is on critical thinking, problem solving, and player agency. The adventure is location-based, revolving around a central mystery, a town, and two dungeons. One of the dungeons is modeled after the Sefirot, and the creators are especially proud of its design. The setting is brought to life through artwork from a team of highly talented artists, aiming to create an atmosphere that feels real and horrifying.
