From the back cover: "Dawn of Destruction is an introductory adventure for 1st level characters that leads by example, kick-starting a campaign with an epic quest that involves every core character class. The adventure itself takes place in the magnificent city of Toran, the heart of human accomplishment in Sommerlund, seat of its most powerful guilds and a symbol of man's defiant strength in Northern Sommerlund. When horror threatens its mighty walls, will those with the blood of heroes take up the challenge? From the roguish Shadaki Buccaneer to the noble Knight of Sommlending, Dawn of Destruction is a tale worth of every kind of hero. Opportunities abound to save innocent lives, battle hideous evil, face impossible odds and cleave a path of righteous fury through the insidious agents of Darklords."
