Neverwinter News

Neverwinter’s 31st module, Red Harvest, is now available! Embark on a journey to Thay to aid the resistance against the Red Wizards.

In Neverwinter: Red Harvest, you will explore a brand-new Adventure Zone with a boldly designed map inspired by the critically acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons movie, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, depiction of Thay. A resistance movement is upon the land as Szass Tam, the formidable lich, and his wizard council, the Zulkir, ruthlessly rule over Thay, treating those excluded from the ruling elite with little respect. Luckily, an agent of the Harpers has been keeping a watchful eye on Thay and has discovered that Szass Tam has been machinating on a plan of such significance that it could place the whole of Faerûn under the yoke of Thay. Sergeant Knox once again calls on the indefatigable Adventurer to aid the Harpers and defeat Szass Tam and other Red Wizards of Thay!
