Call of The Bloom

Call of the Bloom: A Daggerheart Adventure in the Witherwild

A perilous journey into a forest that remembers every wound—and grows stronger for it. When a warding spire in a village the outskirts of Haven begins to weaken, a group of heroes neutral to the Fanewick-Haven conflict is sent to investigate. However, when they discover a lost girl on the way, cast out from the same village, it becomes clear that not all is as it seems.

Call of the Bloom is a Daggerheart-compatible adventure for level 1 characters, set amid the tangled, spirit-haunted expanse of the Witherwild. Written as both a narrative scaffold and a flexible toolkit, this 20+ page adventure invites your table to forge a story steeped in desperation, wonder, and the slow encroachment of something far older than empires.

Perfect for narrative-driven groups who crave moral tension, tragic beauty, and collaborative storytelling, this adventure includes:

A complete 5-part scenario, from overgrown pilgrim roads to a besieged frontier town and the tunnels that snake beneath it
Dynamic countdown mechanics that track the creeping doom of the Witherwild’s corruption
Evocative environments and adversaries, including glass serpents, bramble swarms, and masked raiders
A spirit-touched girl whose presence both guides and endangers the party
A tense subterranean escape, blending exploration, survival, and a final choice that seals your fate
Optional mechanics for faction suspicion, environmental hazards, and pursuing mobs
Story prompts and reflection cues to help you co-create a world that feels alive—and hungry

This is not a script. It is a living invitation: a roadmap to shape alongside your players, where every decision blooms consequences. Whether you stand as guardians, opportunists, or reluctant pilgrims, your story begins at the edge of a forest in endless spring, where the cure and the curse share the same root.

The Witherwild doesn’t just grow. It remembers.
