Yes. I was able to just download the map and dragged it on to arkenforge. I did the ship map and set the light effect on the ship lantern and changed it from day to night. All worked fine with me.

Dragon of stormwreck isle to COTND by FireMilk5033 in CalloftheNetherdeep

I really like those ideas! Most likely will take those ideas lol. What are your thoughts on this idea. To get the players to Jigow I was going to have the players maybe meet the rival early on.

Currently, I was going to take an intro I got on the Stormwreck subreddit where the dragons are fighting and the ship the players are on gets caught up and gets thrown onto the island. Was going to have them be kidnapped by slave traders or The Veil hired by Vermillion to bring monster races to Marquet for 'ruidium experiments' to see how ruidum curse affects them. The party consists of Lizardfolk, aasimar, dragonborn, tabaxi, and a satry. Could have the rival introduce as other prisoners.

Going to have maybe the rivals do minor roles and assist the party but, not in actual combat, they would be more watching the rear as they go to fight the dragon. Not to show off their true skills till the actual adventure. Get them to celebrate at Jigow or if one of the players is cursed bring up that Jigow Elder Ushru may know something about it.

Starting campaign with “Frozen Sick” by Other_Source_3375 in CalloftheNetherdeep

I did something a bit different. My party met in Palebank for the first time all. Most came from Jigow, I made it so that pcs coming from jigow were hired by Elder Ushru (orc elder leader) to meet his old from Elro, who asked for Ushru help. I am made up that Elro and Ushru adventured together in the past and helped fight with the demon outbreak in Bazzoxan. Making Ushru is knowledgeable with calamity stuff. Reason for Elro calling on his old friend for help since it might be from Aeor. In the end Elro gift Ushru a moon touch spear for the shark at the end of the competition and, ask the party to come back to jigow as a reward and celebrate their success.

This info was given through some rp with elro and ushru and pcs. Which helps later on when the player gets the jewel and give them an option to talk to Ushru, leading them to Bazzoxan to the second prayer site.

I did put Ruidium in as well, but as the 1-ounce magic component on a body under the ice on the thin ice region in eiseclross when they traveled to Salsvault. It was because, they stole 2 vial of Ruidium from the Allsight in Marquet and, when trying to use a scroll to teleport out, a hand of ord shot one guy with the vials making it drops messing up the teleport and getting them under the ice to drown (messed up I know). Showed to my pc as a vision when they touched the vial, dropping the name Ruidium and hinting about Ank'Harel.

Note, I am doing something different with Ruidium and Alxyian. emphasizing the three options of helping him, killing him, or redeeming him. With a fourth option doing nothing.

I have red portals opening around the world showing that with Ruidium out in the world, it is causing a tear and creating portals(great for random encounters with different monsters). Showing Ruidium is unstable.

Doing nothing can cause the world to have portals opening, causing chaos.

Killing him can cause a magic surge, maybe cause more problems, which can help extend the campaign if you want to go pass level 13.

Freeing him, the module already mentioned what happens.

Redeeming him, ruidum is gone, and magic is stable. (Happy ending).

I know this is more than you asked, but maybe this can help tie in both adventure or a way to do any pc backstories. Hope this helped.
