The first adventure, Stolen Land, written by Tim Hitchcock, has an adventure summary that reads as

follows: "The adventure begins with the PCs, each bearing a charter from the Lord Mayor of Restov
granting license to explore and map the section of the Stolen Lands known as the Greenbelt, arriving
at a small, remote trading post at the southern edge of rural Rostland. There, the PCs help defend the
post from bandits before setting out to survey the wilderness. The rate at which the PCs explore the
Greenbelt, and the paths they take, are up to them—many wonders and dangers await discovery,
and as their explorations take them deeper into the Narlmarches and the Kamelands, the PCs begin
to learn that the bandits in the region are far more organized than anyone thought—and find that
they even have a leader, a mysterious figure called the “Stag Lord.” If allowed to continue building
his army of bandits, the Stag Lord could well become a great danger to Rostland—that, and the
reward on his head for his capture or death, should be all the new adventurers need to spur them
onward."

gain the powers themselves.
