“The Fiend of Hollow Mine” is one of the thirteen adventures that appears in Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel, a new adventure anthology published by Wizards of the Coast written entirely by creators of color. “The Fiend of Hollow Mine” features a culture inspired by Mexican history and involves the players searching for an “owllike fiend” during the backdrop of Night of the Remembered, a festival where the deceased visit their loved ones.  The adventure was written by Mario Ortegón.

Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel is centered around the Radiant Citadel, a city built around a massive crystal that floats in the Ethereal Plane. The Citadel is connected to over a dozen different cultures in the Material Plane thanks to the Concord Jewels, which serve as passageways between the two planes. Each adventure in Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel explores a different culture connected to a Concord Jewel, and the book also has a gazetteer for the Radiant Citadel itself, which allows players to use the city as a hub during their travels. The Radiant Citadel and the cultures connected to it are all entirely brand new to D&D lore, although the Radiant Citadel may have some connections to the First World, a new mythology that has slowly been teased over the past few years of D&D releases.

Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel will be released on July 19th.
