The skies are failing.
High above the rust-choked world, the floating city of Ironshard teeters on the brink of collapse. A creeping affliction-sentient, corruptive and unrelenting-gnaws at its airships, its engines and even the minds of its people. Whispers speak of a will in the metal itself, a philosophy etched in oxide and oil that does not kill... it converts.
In this full-length steampunk 5e campaign, your players will:
Uncover the origins of the Rust-an ancient force born of failed elemental pacts and corrupted machines
Defend Ironshard from sky pirates, rust-born horrors and zealots who seek to weaponise decay
Command air galleons in desperate battles across storm-lashed skies and shattered floating ruins
Confront the Steam Witch and Captain Zara, villains whose ambitions threaten to bring the city down
Decide Ironshard's fate in a climactic choice: purge the Rust, bind it... or wield it
Packed with:
3 epic acts (Ironshard Affliction, Raiders of the Sky Ruins, The Final Confrontation in the Clouds)
New steampunk-themed weapons, spells and artefacts
Rules for customisable airships and sky battles
Rich NPCs, factions and moral choices that will shape the future of the skies
The Rust and the Raider: AIR blends high fantasy with gritty steampunk invention, offering DMs a ready-to-run campaign and players a chance to carve their legend in the clouds.
The Rust has returned.
The question is not if you can stop it...
It is what you are willing to sacrifice.
