The Spindle
The Spindle of Heaven adventure is a short but difficult module for extremely high level characters between 26th and 36th level.
In it the group goes to the great mountain, the Spindle of Heaven, and finds a clue to the secret to immortality. The adventure is just an introduction that leads to a long campaign left up to each individual gamemaster.
Plot summary

The group climbs the great mountain and fights creatures sent by the ruler of the region every step of the way.
