ELLETHIA

---

En route to their next destination, the Merchant detours the party through his home citadel of Ellethia — the first, haunted casualty of the undead, now divided into Ellethia-Allayar and Ellethia-Hamsour.

HOUNDS, HOWLING

---

Summary: To the injury of Taravast’s failure to deliver the fee of magical weapons that protects it from undead invasions, add the insult of breaking the mirror that sealed half of rival warlord Anurr’s strength. The undead coalition that takes tribute to preserve Taravast’s freedom sends their herald to remind the citadel the benefits of their alliance.

The Huntress, a horsewoman followed by horrors, rides into Taravast. Until she leaves freely, she must be diverted from lingering in one place and corrupting it.

His powers returned, the warlord Anurr calls the dead of Taravast to him and enshrouds a district in ghastly cold — leading to hostilities with one of the Huntress’ masters, the undead Three. The Beastmaster unleashes his hordes into Taravast to confront Anurr.

Facing creatures of nightmare, characters must reactivate at least two of Taravast’s fortified towers, to reinstate wall defences and deny the Beastmaster’s legions further entry.

Taravast’s sorcerers and nobles gather in shelters that need reinforcement, while humble residents require help to survive.

SCALE THE TOWER

---

Cousins Macaluso and Vannozza Spina vie for the favour of the witches of Bessis, in their bid to succeed their grandfather Bonaccorso as liege of magical citadel Taravast. In exchange for their endorsement, the Bessis have asked both electoral candidates to present extraordinary sorcery at a fete commemorating the Bessis truce with fellow court witches of Attaryl.

On the day of the distasteful masque held in the upper levels of the Bessis tower, characters assigned to support Macaluso and Vannozza will split into two espionage missions — one upstairs alongside courtiers, charlatans and the Bessis, and another deep below, crossing abandoned aqueducts. Characters can participate in either effort, but should be discreet if they’re working against their patron.

It’s all fun and games if you’re enjoying Bessis hospitality upstairs — test drive characters might be rating their hotel stay a little less enthusiastically.
