Translated from the back of the book: "'Black Splinters' The Demon Master Borbarad may be defeated - but his unfortunate legacy lives on. In their empires his successors scheme against each other and against the defenders of all things true and good, to finally subjugate all of Aventuria under the Demon Crown. But thank to the gods even they are not invincible, but can be weakened by systematic strokes - like those carried out by small heroic groups of brave adventurers behind enemy lines. But only few heroes return from the Black Lands alive... This collection contains five adventures about missions in the Black Lands and an appendix for constructing further missions."
