The BioWare modules were released by BioWare to demonstrate the technical capabilities of the Aurora engine that runs Neverwinter Nights, and to showcase important additions (new monsters, for instance) that arrived with updates. The free modules are covered by this article, while the Premium modules — also released by BioWare, but not for free — are covered in their own article.
