Encounter: The Closing Chapter
Posted on July 21, 2009 | 1 CommentThis encounter [includes map!] should serve as a capstone for your PCs interaction with Immeril Lithose. They have likely strung together a number of clues and other oddities to realize that Immeril is in truth a villain who preys on the literal life-force of others. It may even be likely that by the time you are prepared to run this encounter, your PCs may be familiar with Immeril’s Faustian pact, and the nature of both the fel roses and the Furum. -

The Web of Desire
Posted on July 17, 2009 | No CommentsTake a look inside the network of mercenaries and brothels that comprise the The Desire's web of extortionists and thugs. hile The Desire seeks to bring ruination and humiliation to her enemies, the people and businesses under her control are merely trying to survive. Any day with three square meals in it is a particularly good day, by their standard. The easiest way to accomplish this is selling information to The Desire - the better the information, the more money its worth. Of course, most of that money gets paid back through the various extortion rackets she runs, but at least they're still open for business - and alive. Not everyone is as lucky in what has become, quite literally, a cutthroat economy. -
Brotherhood of Infinite Nights
Posted on July 17, 2009 | 1 CommentThe leader of the Brotherhood of Infinite Nights believes in elven superiority; elves are the longest-lived race, and he believes the most intelligent and wise. His empire is more than a criminal one; it is the seed from which a stronger, more decisive elven nation will grow. For Caius, each member is a future citizen and a future soldier. -
Order of Artemis

Sisters of Sanctity
Posted on July 13, 2009 | 1 CommentThe Sisterhood sees The Desire as the source of all the carnal vices that have become so commonplace and prevalent in their city. It is their belief that, should she leave - through exile or worse - then the city might be restored to its former glory and once again be looked upon again as a example of virtue and decency in the world. -

Portraits of a Villain: The Desire
Posted on July 6, 2009 | 7 CommentsDo you know what rules this kingdom? It is not the people, the aristocracy, nor even the king who pretends to dote upon that self-righteous bitch of a queen. No!
