LA SP-1-9 Not My Daughter
By: James Vacca
The Hinterlands are growing more dangerous every day. The Reavers have attacked a caravan headed for Mil Takara, and a Senator's daughter has gone missing. The Senator has requested aid from the Crusade to retrieve her, and guess who drew the short straw?
This LEGENDS OF ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for Tier 1.
CSE A1-SP-1-8 The Bramble Labrynth
By: Anthony Nijssen
Introductory Adventure
"The men of the Pricklespur, these 'Green Lurkers', are the worst kind of men. Filled with bloodlust, rage, and hatred, it is an easy thing for their little demons to control them. How much easier, then, for a eing of greater power? Caneturec, send a messenger to these... men. Let's see what they have to say for themselves." - Uhxbractit, overheard by a Dark kin spy, 15th Day of Anguis, 1070 I.C.
"When ancient evils stir, and wake, and scheme, wise men stay out of their path." - Erantus val'Assante, Coryani senator
A1-HP1-8 Judgement
By: Henry Lopez
Standard Adventure
If an eye can peel the veil of time, one must ask which is louder: the screams for vengeance from the past or the cries for justice from the future?
Paradigm Concepts is pleased to announce the adventures for the launch of the new Chronicles of the Shattered Empires world-wide interactive roleplaying campaign. The inheritor to the successful Living Arcanis campaign, Chronicles of the Shattered Empires will provide thousands of hours of enjoyment to players of Arcanis: the World of Shattered Empires.
Arc 1:1 HP 1 Desperate Measures
by Henry Lopez
"Our hearts must be pure; our actions unblemished - only then may our noble purpose find the grace of the Gods" - Primus Sabinus val'Assante', spiritual head of the Milandic Church addressing the first Calling of the 6th Crusade of Light.
The 6th Crusade of Light has been Called by noble King Osric IV of Milandir as rumblings from the infernal hordes have the entirety of the Hinterlands in a panic. But before they may test their courage against fetid demons, the heroes must uncover a plot just as foul in the staging township of Rhidal and the adjacent Kragstal, if they have any hope in preserving the honor of Milandir and the purity of the Crusade itself!
Arc 1:1 HP 2 Desperate Times
by Henry Lopez
Dark rumors tell of the sacking of Jappa far to the east of the Hinterlands. If the Infernal army have indeed broken through the nascent new Wall built by the Tir Betoqi, then there may be little hope for a victorious Crusade or for the future of Humanity itself. In desperation, you and your fellow heroes are called upon to secure urgently needed allies for the coming battle. But generations of mistrust are hard to set aside, especially when accusations of treachery roar throughout Nier's Crucible itself!
Arc 1:1 SP1 Whispers of the Gods
by Eric Wiener
As the val'Tensen of Amaric struggle to crown a rightful king, a mysterious pattern of betrayal and slaughter plays out within the ranks of the young nation's warriors. Knights and soldiers, once brothers in arms, turn on their fellows in a seemingly senseless fashion. Will the heroes uncover the truth in time, or will they too fall into dissention and betrayal?
Arc 1:1 SP2 Dry Rain
by James Zwiers
The hamlet of Ashvan, troubled by the nearby Canceri border, is now suffering a punishing drought. The grain merchants are concerned, the val'Holryn are worried, and the Mother Church of Coryan's fanatics are gloating over the punishments of Saluwe.
Our new products:
The benighted nation in the north of Onara, Canceri, is a nation of contrasts. Its urbane and cultured priesthood practices the most brutal rites of sacrifice and worship in modern Arcanis. Necropoli stand in perfect repair as the homes of the living decay in ruin. Brutal slavery is the law of the land, yet every soul: priest, noble or common holds the right to ultimate ascension. In all things, wickedness is the norm. Virtue is weakness, and paradise awaits those that embrace their baser nature.
"Theocracy of Canceri" is a 144 page sourcebook for Arcanis: the World of Shattered Empires.
Conspiracies, red meat for the masses, the tantalizing mysteries and puzzles built to comfort those afraid of the painful truth. The sanctuary of madmen, unwilling to admit the world is a dangerous place without direction. It is somehow less frightening to believe that a sinister cabal is orchestrating every terrible event than to admit that events are out of control, beyond the grasp of human management. Conspiracy Theories are comforting, they tell us that all was once well before the bad people came, and if the villains could be removed, all would be well again. Those that believe such things are part of a lunatic fringe, seeking impossible explanations for either inexplicable tragedy or the frighteningly simple truth that all is not well with the world. At least, that is what the powers that be want the cattle of the world to believe. Take care whilst reading this sourcebook, ignorance of the truth is a protection all its own.
"Conspiracies" is an 80 page sourcebook for Spycraft 2.0
The stories come from Arabia, Persia, India, even China. They tell not only of fearsome djinni and fantastical palaces, but also of profound spiritual insight and transformation. They reflect the enormous Islamic civilization during the ninth to thirteenth centuries, which stretched from Spain across North Africa to Cairo, across the Arabian peninsula, up to Damascus and Baghdad, further north to Samarkand, across what is now Afghanistan, down into India, and beyond. A traveler could wander across this vast region speaking Arabic, studying and praying in mosques, and trading with fellow Moslems. The stories are decadent, prejudiced, and fantastical, as well as redeeming, illuminating, and grounded. The stories are best known as the Thousand and One Arabian Nights. The Adventure Begins at Nightfall!
"Tales of the Caliphate Nights" is a 256-page campaign setting sourcebook for the True 20 System
The newest of the popular "cert shirts" for use while playing Living Arcanis will be available in limited numbers.
