The beginning of what is intended to a series of several modules, the player begins this module as a novice adventurer from Faerun who finds themselves lost in the mist, and drawn into Ravenloft. Seeking a way home, the protagonist will find themselves drawn into seeking a series of occult texts in order to accomplish this feat. As a direct result, they become embroiled in a tale of eldritch intrigue that will leave them forever changed.
The series has a mixed gothic/cosmic horror theme, and involves significant role-playing on the part of the protagonist. Set in the 3.5 version of the "Ravenloft" campaign setting, many spells, skills, and class features have been modified to be more true to the spirit of the campaign setting during this era.
The module is intended for a new first level pc of any race/class/gender/alignment, who will reach about level 6 or 7 by the module's end. Approximately 8-12 hours or so of gameplay.
Required Hakpak found in .rar file included, along with module. The walkthrough is also included in the archive, and includes the "readme", as well as a more detailed content warning (mature themes), disclaimer, and statement of value.
Feedback and bug reports of any kind welcome!
Version 1.01 has several minor adjustments, typo corrections, and bugfixes (that will moreso be relevant to future chapters).

Looks very promising. But it seems the .rar file is missing?
Yep - my bad! Think its fixed now.
Thanks!
Well met.
How exciting. And great screenshots too. Bookmarked to play. Now get back to work on the next one in the series.

I think the author forgot to upload the rar file...
I think I've uploaded it now. Whoops! Thanks for the reminder!
'Tis always nice to see a new Ravenloft module.
I started playing. While the atmosphere is fantastic I find the combat impossibly difficult for level 1 characters. In the beginning segment it is possible to run from the undead but that doesn't seem like a viable strategy in later areas. I find my paladin being slaughtered again and again by vermin in the crypt that are simply far too powerful (even with the game difficulty set to easy). Unless I've somehow missed a number of sidequests that would let me level up, or I'm expected to return to the beginning area and grind, I don't see how I can possibly progress.
My log says it can't load the cep3 haks?
They're all there, i tried 3.0 and 3.03.Hm...
Hi Nathan:
Sorry about that. Are you using v 3.03 of the CEP, along with all of the other required projects? Or is there another more specific error message? I'll try to assist if I can. Thanks.
Hmm, the latest version worked for me. Do you also have the cep tlk file put in the tlk folder?
Yes, got the cep3.tlk AND cep3.03.tlk
I love this! Lord of Worms' work is perfect for the Ravenloft setting which I also love! Please more!
Thanks! Let me know of any specific complements/critiques/bugs you encounter as you play through :)
