The Abandoned Isle
(Flagellum Amazonis 1)
Winner: Ludopedia Award for Best Brazilian RPG Supplement
From a remote fortress situated at the northernmost point of a young colony comes a strange message. There, where the world’s largest river flows into the sea, there are rumours of a force capable of changing the future of Brazil… and the continent…forever!
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. They will meet not only the immense indigenous nations that dominate this region, but also with creatures that seem to have been born out of nightmares – inconceivable mixtures of animals and humans.
Number of participants: One mediator and 4 to 8 players. The ideal number is seven participants in total.
Time: 4 to 6 hours
The Mysterious Demesne of Dom Perestrelo
The landowner Dom Perestrelo is offering adventurers a unique opportunity: the chance to become the owners of a vast area of land. However, the conditions that come with the offer aren’t for just anyone, and the adventurers will have to defeat the treacherous Motucus, face the terrifying Phantom Cat and deal with the other supernatural perils that plague The Mysterious Demesne of Dom Perestrelo.
This is an adventure of exploration and discovery in the Royal Captaincy of Rio de Janeiro in the 16th century. This scenario can be used as a standalone adventure or as part of a campaign in progress. It is designed for 4 to 6 players and takes about 10 hours of total play time to complete.

The rancher Carlos Ribeiro, forced out by the Governor’s decree and after considerable losses amongst the cane fields, quickly hired some brave adventurers to escort him and his cattle to the fertile grazing lands of Pituaçu. The way is hard and dangerous. Marta Ribeiro, the rancher’s wife, is afraid about the journey because they are bringing their newborn son. 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 journey is hard, but things get even harder when little Oyapó is kidnapped , and your adventurers must confront a supernatural menace to rescue him!

The letter also speaks of a ‘great treasure’ brought by Captain Remy LaSalle, leader of the expedition. In the years since, no banner company has found this supposed treasure. And now a group of young adventurers has gone missing while searching for it.
Will your group succeed in tracking them down and bringing them home safely?
Or will they simply become the latest victims of the Curse of Ipaúna?

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. It’s set in the jungles of Brazil in the year 1576, and you can play it in one or two sessions. It’s full of fun material you can use in the EAMB setting or with any fantasy game with pre-modern tech levels, including:
