This adventure takes place in the Free City of Zobeck in the Midgard campaign setting. It is a city where adventurers, merchants, and scoundrels from all walks of life and all nations intermingle. In Zobeck, wondrous inventions are dreamt and great tales of glory begin—for it is the boiling cauldron in which Midgard’s most potent minds, largest personalities, and most inflated egos are mixed together. Player options for playing dhampir, darakhul and other underworld races and classes will be available. The first session will be a Session Zero where we discuss social contract, character concepts, what keeps the party together and what everyone would like to get out of the game. Sessions last 3hours. This might not be the game for you if you have issues with violence, racism, slavery, mental illness, cannibalism, blood, body horror, eldritch horror, dismemberment, seduction, and the removal of personal agency. This is a very dark game. If something comes up, however, there are safety tools in-game. If you are interested, more info and applications here. “No matter what horrible tales you’ve heard of the spell-ravaged magocracies of the Wasted West, or the bloodthirsty fiends of the shifting southern sands, or even the fey-tainted roads of the Shadow Realm… nothing compares to the horror of those lightless regions of the earth under the dominion of Nicoforus the Pale, Emperor of Ghouls. And his dark realms run right beneath our feet, my friends. That’s right! The cartways and catacombs of our fair city are home to a festering legion of unspeakable dread! They thirst for your blood! They hunger for your flesh! And while the ivory towers full of Zobeck’s nobles ignore the rats beneath their feet, this plague will continue to spread until our city itself is wracked with the disease of undeath! Beware the black chambers, my friends. Beware the Empire of the Ghouls.” —Halford the Found, Zobeck Doomsayer
