Fate of Istus is a multipart adventure for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, taking place in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting. The module is designed for characters of any class or level, and was published as an in-game vehicle to explain the transition from the game's first to second edition. This is accomplished by goddess Istus's re-evaluation of the inhabitants of Oerth and making changes to the abilities of each character class.
Fate of Istus is a series of 10 linked adventure scenarios, each one intended for player characters a different character class, and set in a different city from the Bandit Kingdom to Furyondy to the Wild Coast. As part of the plot, the goddess Istus has inflicted the world of Greyhawk with a plague to cull out the weaker adventurers.
A deadly plague has stricken civilization; the players suspect this is a sinister test of some sort and venture out to stop it.
WG8 Fate of Istus was written by Nigel Findley, Dan Salas, Stephen Inniss, and Robert J. Kuntz, with a cover by Daniel Horne and interior illustrations by Karl Waller, and was published by TSR in 1989 as a 128-page book.
