Villains Unleashed

A ruthless warlord, a vengeful drow priestess, a power-hungry archmage, a cunning dwarven assassin; not every character in your TTRPG campaign walks the path of the hero. Villains - those who embrace darkness and evil - stand as the most powerful foes and thus the most essential tools in a Dungeon Master's arsenal for crafting an unforgettable adventure.
