Overview

60,000 years ago, in the Northern Region of The Beyond, 65 years before the events of The Mystery at Blythe, a beautiful land became an abhorrent nightmare. People in the capital city of Millendale and the historical city of Osipitis have been hearing vile and reprehensible sounds in the middle of the night, sounds that render even the most powerful of the living petrified. Citizens have been disappearing, with some only returning as corpses. A long-dormant evil, unknown to the Northern Region for centuries, has been defiling the land. As the darkness spreads, the evil grows. The daylight does not seem as bright, nor does the sun appear to remain in the sky as it used to. The nights grow longer, and the light of the moon seems shrouded, as if there is an evil hiding in the shadows that seeks to lure the living into a state of isolation and fear. Even when the wind blows, it feels cold and hollow, almost as if something not of this world is within it. Those who seek the truth disappear, and those who acquire it die. Someone must stop the darkness before it consumes the light... A 5E adventure for characters of levels 1-15, this grimdark campaign is designed for intermediate to advanced players and GMs.

Author Information

J.K.'s story started during Covid-19 in 2020. He was forced by his old roommates to play Dungeons and Dragons during quarantine, despite his insistence that it was a ""game for nerds that didn't look like any fun."" After begrudgingly giving in to peer pressure, J.K. played and could not believe how much he loved it. As a matter of fact, he actually loved it so much that he ended up writing his own homebrew campaign that he ran for a couple of different groups. All of them said it was brilliant and that he should consider publishing it one day because the world he created, ""The Beyond,"" was loaded with creativity, lore, and insane plot twists. For years J.K. put it off, trying to make excuses for how much work it would be to publish a book, until finally he decided it was time to do it; it was time to accomplish something he had wanted to do but was too scared to attempt. In 2025, J.K. founded his own writing and publishing company, Unknown Archives LLC., with his first book, ""The Mystery at Blythe,"" being released the same year in June. J.K. recently released Unknown Archives LLC's first 5th Edition Grimdark Campaign, the Forgotten Catacombs of Osipitis, and has 2 more installments on the way in the world of ""The Beyond."" He plans to continue to share his love for roleplaying games and advocate for how valuable they are in finding community and rediscovering imagination that has been lost due to social media, AI, and other distractions. J.K. holds 3 different degrees, including a Master's in Biblical Literature. He is currently pursuing his doctoral degree while serving as a full-time student minister. J.K. previously taught ethics and religion at the collegiate level. He was formerly an avid competitive tennis player and now does the same with pickleball.
