Dungeons & Dragons Reveals Journeys Through The Radiant Citadel, The First Official Adventure Collection With An All-POC Writing Team
Wizards of the Coast has revealed the first Dungeons & Dragons book to be entirely written by people of colour: Journeys Through The Radiant Citadel, a compilation of short adventures set in the disparate lands of a world floating through the Ethereal Plane.
Featuring 14 adventures, each taking place in a world inspired by the various writers' cultures and backgrounds, the book is being co-led by Ajit George (according to him, the first person of colour to lead a D&D book) and senior game designer F. Wesley Schneider, who last worked together on Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft last year.

Rather than being your usual world of backstabbers and ne'er-do-wells, the Radiant Citadel is a much more positive place, described by George as "a place of hope… where they can launch incredible adventures".
Though the whole series of adventures in the book have yet to be revealed, three have been announced, each with different tones and settings. The first, for characters between levels one and two, is Salted Legacy by former Rivals of Waterdeep cast member Surena Marie. Salted Legacy takes place in the Syn Singh Night Market, where you and your party must mediate between two rival families.
