A D&D 5th Edition Conversion of the Early Edition Adventure Module
H-4 The Throne of
Bloodstone
Conversion Guide
Introduction: In 1988, TSR published the module named “The Throne of
Bloodstone” with the code “H4”. It was written by Douglas Niles and Michael
Dobson as the culmination to the H-series, which came to be known as a high-
level adventure series of modules. The module is the longest in the H-series, and
like H2, it offers opportunities to use Battlesystem rules for the large-scale
battles. Nonetheless, H4 provides a sufficiently flexible story to allow DM's to
either use or ignore the mass combat components of the adventure. H4 consists
of a 96-page story, with several pages of maps for battle encounters and
dungeon exploration. This conversion guide allows DMs to run the original
module with 5th Edition rules and provides a reference sheet for encounters.

Adventure Summary
After the war for Bloodstone comes to a standstill
between the armies of Bloodstone led by the PCs
and the armies of the undead, led by the Witch-King
of Vaasa, the PCs and their advisers determine that
the only way to stop the Witch-King for good is to
eliminate the source of his power and prevent his
master Orcus from harassing the Realms. Doing so
means that the PCs will need to enter the Abyss,
confront Orcus, and steal the Wand of Orcus to save
Bloodstone and the Realms.
Converting to the
Realms
Following the publication of “The Mines of
Bloodstone (H2)”, the setting for the adventure was
absorbed into the Forgotten Realms setting. The
Kingdom of Damara and Vaasa can be found in
Northeast Faerûn, with Bloodstone located in the
Bloodstone pass.
