How the Mighty Are Fallen is a 2nd-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons adventure module for the Forgotten Realms.

As the floating cities of Netheril hover peacefully in the air, the winds of intrigue boil all around them. The phaerimm continue to plot the downfall of the Netherese even as Karsus prepares for the casting of his greatest spell. Undead walk the land, driving orcs and humans before them. And somewhere below the greatest nation of Faerûn, the Tarrasque awakens from a long slumber. How the Mighty Are Fallen is an adventure designed for use with the Netheril: Empire of Magic boxed campaign setting (which is required to play this adventure).

Description[]

How the Mighty Are Fallen is an Arcane Age adventure and is set within the ancient empire of Netheril in the lead-up to Karsus's Folly.

How the Mighty Are Fallen is a high-level adventure designed for PCs between levels 11 and 14, set in the ancient realm of Netheril. This challenging and epic adventure involves several formidable encounters and quests. The characters will face the Tarrasque, an incredibly powerful and fearsome creature known for its near-invulnerability and destructive capabilities. Additionally, the PCs will confront an army of undead, adding a layer of supernatural danger and complexity to their journey.

Furthermore, the adventure presents an encounter with a golden dragon, a creature renowned for its might and majesty, adding to the array of formidable challenges the PCs must overcome. Beyond these battles, the PCs have the opportunity to embark on a quest to discover the lost Nether Scrolls, ancient artifacts of immense power and significance.

In a climactic turn of events, the adventure also allows the characters to gather components for a spell with an extraordinary purpose: the ability to kill a god.
