- A high-stakes, high-level adventure set in Thay that pits characters against Szass Tam and his schemes; includes a Thay gazetteer, 14 magic items, and six formidable creatures.

Step into the shadowed courts and blood-red towers of Thay with Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall (Alt Art), a hardcover adventure that transforms your campaign into a tense, espionage-driven confrontation with one of the Realms’ most dangerous masterminds. This module is tailored for characters at the pinnacle of power (levels 11–20), where political maneuvering and spellcraft carry the weight of nations. The narrative unfurls like a magical spy thriller: secret briefings, covert infiltrations, fragile alliances, and sudden betrayals that force players to balance blunt force with cunning subtlety. At the center of the rising storm is Szass Tam—presented with a full, play-tested stat block and GM notes—whose schemes threaten to tear open the fabric between life and undeath and unleash a demonic undead horde unless heroes can outwit and outmaneuver him.
Deadfall includes five focused chapters that guide characters through escalating threats and moral quandaries, supported by more than 20 dedicated maps crafted for tactical depth and cinematic set pieces. The adventure is grounded by a concise Thay gazetteer, providing cultural color, political factions, and locales that help DMs integrate the campaign into existing campaigns or run it as a standalone arc. To heighten encounters and reward ingenuity, the book offers 14 new magical items whose effects feel appropriate to high-level play—tools for both stealth and spectacular confrontation. Six high-CR creatures, including the lich Szass Tam, populate the module with tailored challenges and encounter options, while sidebars and running advice help GMs tune the tone between covert investigation and epic battle.
Run Deadfall as a tight, three- to six-session arc or expand it into a longer campaign strand that reshapes the political landscape of your setting. With alt-art presentation for collectors and evocative GM guidance for dramatizing arcane espionage, Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall is built for groups who want their high-level play to be as cunning and narrative-driven as it is powerful—where every secret uncovered can change the fate of nations.
