The Broken Oath

The Broken Oath

A spooky-but-hopeful D&D 5e one-shot by T. Hames

“You were not asked to be warriors.

You were asked to be remembered.”

In a village where cherry trees bloom in silence, a forgotten pact stirs beneath the ash. The last heir of a samurai bloodline begs for your help to complete a sacred ritual—but the spirit it binds may not forgive being forgotten.

The Broken Oath is a one-shot inspired by Japanese folklore and Ghost of Tsushima. It blends haunting atmosphere, emotional storytelling, and tense combat in a tale of memory, legacy, and redemption.
