Looking for an epic old module lost to memory

Hello everyone, I’ve been scouring the vaults for a while without success, so let’s see if the community can help with this one :slight_smile: (man, I’m getting old…)
I’ll try to give as many details as I can 'cause unfortunately I can’t recall anything at all about the title.

  • The module was a pretty big epic saga (most probably a three-parter) that brought the player up to lvl 40, altho I am unsure if it started at lvl 1 or higher.
  • It required CEP.
  • It featured a celestial female companion that at some point saves your life and wakes you up in a desert setting (this happened when already at very high levels, past 20). In said desert, I also remember a sort of chase-scene with a red dragon that pesters your for a while with flames while flying off-screen, before finally landing for a melee fight.
  • Towards the final chapters it also featured a demonic companion (possibly a reformed succubus?) which didn’t conflict with the angelic one. At that point most fights were probably with high level demons.
  • I remember an astounding display of terrain somewhere midgame: it was basically a small map that existed only to access a structure in the middle (possibly a tower?), but it was built like this incredible mountain ravine, with slopes up and down everywhere like I had never seen before in the standard game (which always looked very “polygonally” cut, with very straight edges and angles).

And… that’s it I fear. I know it’s not much, especially considering that I can’t recall anything about the main plot, but I’d really love to be able to find it again!

Sounds interesting. Some of your content sounds like Aielund. (Epic - the saving of life, wake up in the desert - The pestering dragon). But an angelic companion??

I don’t recall ever seen a module with an angelic companion. So I want to see that too.

Sounds like Tales of Arterra, but I only got to level 23, which included playing the sequel listed under Related Projects.

Thank you both for the answers!

@Mmat yeah Aielund and Sands of Fate were my first guesses and I did play those two back then as well, but apart from the epic scope nothing else matched my foggy memories of it.

@Surazal that’s a very strong candidate! I was watching a youtube playthrough of it and I definitively remember those companions. I couldn’t find the other bits tho, so I’m starting to wonder if I did a pastiche in my head of different modules… Especially with the CEP graphics parts (like that wild mountain terrain I mentioned, for example).

Tales of Arterra sounds right to me. If I recall correctly (I played it a long time ago), Persey is a basically a “reformed succubus,” and Evanine eventually evolves into a celestial.

Yeah that’s why I think I’m probably mixing up some mods… The videos I watched definitively hit the right spots companion-wise, but I must have played something else in the same era that had a lot of cool CEP features that must have impressed me just as much, but hell knows what THAT was lol

You can play the PRC version of this module right from Community menu.
