Ash falls on Sharn. In the frozen depths of a cruel winter an inferno has consumed the lower quarters of the City of Towers. Like the tainted lungs of a dying dragon, the belly of the city has blasted the lofty spires with a poisonous cloud of ash and soot. To make matters worse, the city is locked in a blizzard, tainted by the smoke and transformed into a black storm of doom. The end cannot be far behind, its coming foretold in the voices of the ravens that feast on the flesh of the dying. But for the Raven, the storm is merely a backdrop, a stroke of luck that makes the perfect setting for his greatest work. It will be a tale of love, treachery, passion, revenge, and murder.
"Quoth the Raven" is an adventure of murder mystery and dark horror for 8th-level PCs. This adventure is a sequel to "Chimes at Midnight" in Dungeon #133 and is also set in Sharn, the illustrious City of Towers in the Eberron campaign setting. As the adventure is a murder mystery, you should read it carefully before running it so as to be familiar with its twists and turns.
