In the drowning heat of the Low Country, the dead have stopped rotting. When your party arrives in Gravewater Parish , they witness a miracle funeral that feels more like a warning. The truth lies just beneath the skin: a hidden Root Doctor Coven is binding spirits, twisting faith into fuel, and preparing the unthinkable—the Black Salt Pact , a ritual meant to shackle Baron Cimetière himself and seize command of death’s long-forbidden ledger. To stop them, your heroes must wander a haunted coast of sinking roads, storm-lashed lighthouses, spectral dances, and plantations where souls are bottled like contraband. They will bargain with ancient Loa, carry the weight of Spiritual Debt , and follow a trail of salt-etched sigils to the doorstep of the Black Salt Cathedral —where the Root Doctor waits, and the fate of the bayou hangs on a single choice. Whispers of the Bayou is a Southern Gothic horror campaign for characters of levels 3–6, featuring: • A rich investigation through parish towns, drowned forests, and crumbling manors • Unique mechanics of Spiritual Debt , clocks, and spirit boons • Memorable NPCs such as Mambo Delphine , the Swamp Mother , and Baron Cimetière • A three-phase final battle where the party must unravel the Black Salt Pact itself • A branching ending that lets players decide whether to rebind the spirits… or set the bayou free The dead are whispering. The coven is waiting. And every miracle has a price.
