The Iron Route, an important trade road east of Phlan, is beset by competing bandits. An exiled Black Fist officer leads his band of mercenaries-turned-ruffians, while a mysterious dragonborn sorcerer commands a ferocious horde from the north. In this war over the trade route, the beleaguered merchants are the victims, and Phlan suffers from a lack of supplies. It’s up to adventurers to strike out and reopen this vital route.

An adventure for 1st through 4th-level Forgotten Realms characters.
