A Dark Fantasy Hexcrawl of Horror, Folklore, and Occult Dread

Just beyond the gates of Darkenhaven lies the Mournwood—a forest steeped in madness, memory, and something far older than either. This immersive regional campaign setting invites players into a world where every path leads deeper into danger, and every whisper in the trees may carry a warning… or a curse.

Blending wilderness exploration/hexcrawl gameplay with horror and survival horror, the Mournwood is saturated with folk horror and occult forces that twist the land and those who dare to walk it. Designed as both a sourcebook and ready-to-run sandbox campaign, it gives Game Masters everything needed to create unforgettable journeys into the unknown.
