This is the beginning of Flagellum Amazonis, “The Scourge of the Amazon”, a five-part campaign that will take your group of adventurers to the most remote corners of the jungle.

Oyapó, the expedition’s Tupinambá guide, has guaranteed that the Pituaçu region is ideal pasture land and will be a good place to settle down.

The Legend of the Golden Condor

Fool’s Gold?
An indigenous legend describes a sacred grotto, filled with gold, in the unexplored lands of the interior. Many have already disappeared in search of this treasure. The noble Dom Casimiro de Lucena, however, believes that this story is really a clue to the whereabouts of an object far more valuable than gold. When he also disappears, will your group of adventurers be able to follow in the footsteps of Dom Casimiro and unravel this centuries-old mystery?
The Legend of the Golden Condor is the first adventure for The Elephant & Macaw Banner Roleplaying Game.
