Necromantic slavery beckons the noble mind. To not have to sit through another family feud or organize more expensive and tedious alms to the poor: there is an appeal in just killing them and having them do as you tell them, night and day — forever — without objection.

Some degenerate Lord or embittered Prince must have tried it at some point, and been murdered by eager adventurers in the name of good, or law, or (more likely) profit, before the deed was done.

But in Beregrad, they went much farther, and no adventurer stepped up to stop them.

In Beregrad, they not only killed all the commoners of their kingdom and resurrected them in mute obedience. They also hid the kingdom’s existence from the outside world with powerful magic, making it possible for them to frolic in their own degenerate orgies forever and pay no heed to the outside world.

Until now.

Practice your fawning sycophancy, strap your shoe buckles tight, polish the golden knob on your cane, powder your wig, and stroll off to conspire at the Beregrad court. Search for the truth about this rotting kingdom, or make a tidy profit in the land where the people doesn’t need pay, or even food.

Just don’t talk about the elephant in the room — the living dead — and never ever say the word ‘necromancer.’

This is a sourcebook about court intrigue in general and in Beregrad in particular. A series of adventures and locations that you can use how you see fit, or maybe a campaign setting where everyone knows something you don’t.




Ni sålde mig LotFP. Jag köpte det. Älskar det. Och har nu börjat skriva lite kampanjvärld a la Weird Fantasy, eller hur jag själv tycker om att tolka den.

Det blir sent 1600, men sett genom en lupp av sent 1700, bara för att jag älskar hovintriger och hur de fungerar. Här kommer de dessutom vara rätt ordentligt överdrivna och fokusera framförallt på nycker och fåniga trender, som om du ska sätta ned tårna eller hälen först när du går.

Det blir middagsbjudningar och skvaller, teaterpjäser och poesiläsningar, alla med en politisk underton, och den stora frågan (som ingen får ställa): vad för ondska ligger bakom mordet (och uppväckandet), samt det magiska döljandet av ett helt folk och deras land?
