The Evils of Illmire is a dark fantasy hexcrawl adventure module for B/X D&D, Old School Essentials, and other OSR systems.
An evil cult that is taking over the town of Illmire. The cult's presence is strong in Illmire. The wilderness outside of town is dangerous; full of monsters, warring humanoid factions, forlorn ruins, and hazardous natural features. The adventurers may find themselves exploring Illmire and plundering dungeons before they ever realize the cult is there. But it won't be long before the cult spots their activities and sends their deadly assassin after them. They do not wish for attention to be drawn to the region, at all.
But the cult isn't the only thing threatening Illmire. The folks in town have always said the swamp was cursed. Truth be told, the source of the region's many woes is a mysterious tower deep in the woods, it's legendary resident known as The Observer. Not much is known to local folks, but in reality the resident is a monstrous beast that meddles in affairs across Illmire for its own enjoyment and "academic study". The results are often disastrous, but the simple people of Illmire remain unaware of its doings.
