An Adventure in the Border Princes. Can You Resist the Lure?

Beyond the lands of civilised men of the Empire, far from the wretched existence of Bretonnian peasants, and the subterfuge and treachery of Tilea, is a broken land, a land where a common man can be raised to a king on one day and find an ignoble death the next. These lands, the Borderlands, the Border Princes, or the Lands of the Renegade Crowns have been the site of countless battles, countless wars, of conquest and defeat. Most are content with the way things are in the Borderlands, but a new danger awakens from a long slumber, stirring once more and bringing with it horrors unimaginable. This danger is a Tomb King, a Liche Lord of unimaginable power, and though contained in his tomb, he works in the dreams and nightmares of those Princes who rule the region. It is just a matter of time before the Death Scarab stakes a claim to his lands once more.

Lure of the Liche Lord is an adventure sourcebook set in the tempestuous lands of the Border Princes. Inside you’ll find:

• A complete region of the Border Princes including details of the Princes and the local threats.
• A slew of adventure seeds that enable you to run this region as a stand alone adventure or as the foundation of a campaign.
• Information on the ancient empire of Nehekhara as well as details on their conquest of the Old World.
• The Tomb of the Liche Lord, presented in lavish detail, filled with horrors, traps, and tricks enough to test the mettle of any hero.
• Details of the Liche Lord himself, with plot ideas for constructing adventures beyond the contents of this book.
• New curses, such as the dreaded Curse of a Thousand Lashes.
• Extensive rules on traps with over a dozen sample traps.
• New diseases including the fearsome Wasting Sickness.
• And a bestiary expansion, providing statistics for Tomb Guards, Ushabti, Rune Guardians, and the horrifying Imprisoned.

Packed with information, Lure of the Liche Lord is more than just an adventure, more than a setting sourcebook. It is a definitive guide to tombs in the Old World, describing one of the most dangerous tombs ever known. Are your heroes smart enough, tough enough, and brave enough to face the dangers of the tomb? Find out in Lure of the Liche Lord.

A Guide to Vampires: Beware the Night!

The Undead loom large in the imaginations of morals. These shuffling horrors stumble forth from shallow graves at the beckoning of dreadful necromancers. They stir in forgotten barrows and ancient tombs. They flit through the midst of the curling fog that blankets the fallow fields and haunt the alleys, marking scenes of old crimes and bloody murders. However, amongst these vestiges of life – these rotting, twisted, tortured forms – there are those who excite us, who awaken a dark fantasy of fascination. They are the night’s dark masters, the Vampires, and they are the cunning lords of wickedness and evil, preying on mortals as a wolf hunts sheep. They can be beautiful and alluring, forever frozen in their youth, or hulking and monstrous, twisted by the corruption of their tainted blood. Regardless of their form they are a dangerous threat, masterminds of countless plots and sinister designs, and their power, their majesty, makes slaves of all who live under the pall they cast.

Night’s Dark Masters lifts the shroud from the Vampires, revealing everything you could want to know about Vampires in the Old World. Inside these blood-slick pages you’ll find:

• A detailed history of Vampires to shed light on their origins and machinations.
• Scholars’ accounts that offer flavourful advice to would-be Vampire hunters.
• A detailed examination of the form and function of Vampires, cataloguing their strengths and weaknesses.
• A comprehensive overview of the five major bloodlines, as well as example villains for use straight out of the book.
• A complete gazetteer of Sylvania.
• Exhaustive details on creating Vampire adversaries and Vampire hunters, including new careers such as the Grave Warden and Back Guard.
• A bestiary that expands the Undead horrors of the Old World, presenting statistics for terrifying monsters like Scuttling Hands and Wraithwisps.

This tome is packed with information on some of WFRP’s most notorious Undead, revealing the character and nature of these nocturnal fiends. Armed with this book, you can construct elaborate adventures that feature vampires as the central antagonists or as supporting characters for some great nemesis. Ready your stakes, keep your blessed water handy and say a prayer to Morr, Night’s Dark Masters will take your games into the bloody heart of darkness.
