Fate of Istus[1] is a multipart adventure for the Dungeons & Dragonsroleplaying game, taking place in the World of Greyhawkcampaign setting. The module is designed for characters of any class or level, and was published as an in-game vehicle to explain the transition from the game's first to second edition. This is accomplished by goddess Istus's re-evaluation of the inhabitants of Oerth and making changes to the abilities of each character class.[2]
Fate of Istus is a collection containing a series of 10 adventure scenarios, each of them designed for player characters of a different character class, and all of them dealing with a plague created by the goddess Istus affecting a different city in the world of Greyhawk.[3]
A deadly plague has stricken civilization; the players suspect this is a sinister test of some sort and venture out to stop it.
Morgorath's Beastman Avatar: deity can appear as anything
Arlina: 12th level cleric
Narlond the white alchemist and the Prophet of Boccob: 18th level magic user
