Zienteck is an adventure scenario intended for characters of level 5-9 which takes place inside a vast dungeon complex.

[1] Legends tell that what is left of the stronghold of the wizard Zienteck lies beyond the infamous Black Angel Woods, and that his books of magic and treasure may have survived the destruction caused by Griendal the Dragon.

This adventure also includes encounter tables for locations such as the Black Angel Woods and the Dragon Mountains, game statistics for two new monsters (black angels and fire chameleons), maps of the wilderness and the lair of the dragon, and details of the Zienteck dungeon with an optional map for the players.

Judges Guild was able to keep their Advanced Dungeons & Dragons license for another year, allowing them to publish adventures like The Illhiedrin Book (1981), Zienteck (1981), Trial by Fire (1981), and Portals of Twilight (1981) before ending that line.
