DUNGEON DELVE SPECIAL #1
THE SACRED TEMPLE OF ERWADU
The great ziggurat temple dedicated to the god Enki towers majestically over the marshes that cluster along the banks of the broad river delta. No one knows what exactly lies behind its mudbrick walls. Surely, vast treasures fill its fresco-lined chambers, and doubtlessly, terrible guardians keep the unworthy from claiming them.
This special module contains thirteen original illustrations to show the players. The referee can opt to play this module one of two ways — as a ‘Living’ or ‘Lost’ temple.

About the Module
The Sacred Temple of Erwadu
For 4–8 characters of levels 7–10 (about 52 levels total)
In this adventure, inspired by the mythology and culture of ancient Sumer, the player characters explore a ziggurat rising from a marshy river delta. To survive, they must descend through four deadly levels of the temple and escape its mudbrick halls, each chamber steeped in ancient traps, divine tests, and lurking horrors. This adventure includes detailed background notes, a cutaway map of the temple, five new monsters, and six possible endings that reflect the heroes’ choices and fates.
Artwork
Twenty-two original black-and-white illustrations by Johnathan Bingham, Darlene (ex-TSR), Earl Geier, Jeff Laubenstein, Mark Lyons, and Frank Scacalossi. Front cover art by Jeff Dee (ex-TSR, Villains & Vigilantes) depicts a hostile bone devil, while Jonathan Myers provides the color artwork for the rear and side panels.
Includes a free eBook PDF of the module with the purchase of a print copy.
