THE GOLDEN GRIMOIRE

PART ONE: AFLITAIN 1) Introduction

This scenario follows on from Lord Jagged, The Jaded God. In the Cosmic Chess Game that decides the fate of the Multiverse, Chaos has made the first move. Now it is Law's turn to redress the Balance. ittingl!, the Lords of Law have decided to use the "Cs as their #awns in this move. The stor! #ic$s u# a%out two months after the Battle of &ori$. The cit! of 'flitain is in a fren(! of activit! for several reasons. Merchants are contracting for re%uilding wor$) shi#s from all nations %ring in %uilding materials and even architects to re#air the damage caused %! Jaeger's cam#aign. The "riests of Law are out in force, #reaching in the streets and to swelling congregations of the *cancer of Chaos lur$ing in fair &ha(aar.* 's if this wasn't enough, #re#arations are in full swing for +romir's Investiture Ceremon! as Grand ,u$e of -astern &ha(aar. 's heroes of the Battle of &ori$, the "Cs are invited to %oth the Investiture Ceremon! and su%se.uent &tate Ban.uet. The Investiture Ceremon! ta$es #lace in the Tem#le of ,on%las. ast/wind the "Cs through several hours of tedious ceremonial nonsense. +romir ma$es his oath that he is free of the influence of Chaos and is suited to the #osition of Grand ,u$e. ,e#ending on how the Battle of &ori$ ended, this ma! or ma! not %e the case. +romir is still in league with the "an Tangian merchant, "arig 'rass, and as such is at the merc! of Jagreen Lern. The real stor! %egins at the &tate Ban.uet.

2) The State Banquet

The Ban.uet is a different matter entirel!. 0eld in the Great 0all of +romir's "alace, the Ban.uet is an event which will %e tal$ed a%out in court until the end of the world 1a%out seven !ears, if Mr &t. 'ndre's timeline in the &B2 rule%oo$ is accurate3. The feast is lavish, the entertainments e4otic and s#ectacular, the guest list e4tensive and #owerful. -ver!one is dec$ed out in their most gorgeous finer!. Laughter rings out across the crowded 0all, mingling with the songs of minstrels and the music of the small orchestra. In fact, onl! the a%sence of the music slaves and ceremonial torture se#arate this revelr! from something seen in Imr!rr. The sort of thing that goes on here could last a while %ut en5o! the role#la!ing and go with the flow. The GM is, of course, free to ela%orate on these #oints %ut some s#ecial notes are as follows. The crowd is largel! no%ilit!, lords and ladies of &ha(aar's e4tensive 6o!al Court. The 'm%assadors of Jhar$or, 'rgimiliar, il$har and Lorm!r are #resent. Most of the no%le Lords and ceremonial guards are armed. ' master of Ceremonies announces the "Cs as the! arrive. These introductions should %e tailored to each character and %ased on how the! #erformed in the Battle of &ori$.

 0int at the #resence of *others*. Jerr! Cornelius, for e4am#le, loves a good #art!. ,ressed in the ro%es of an Indian 6a5ah, com#lete with 5ewelled tur%an, he will %e misera%le unless accom#anied %! a woman with a C0' of at least 78. Later, the woman's clothes will %e found neatl! folded at the foot of a rum#led %ed. Jerr! will have disa##eared. New #la!er characters can %e introduced at this time, either as no%les themselves or guests9%od!guards9retainers of more #rominent N"Cs.

3) The Messenger
't some #oint, a meeting should %e contrived %etween the "Cs and a !oung man called Tellurin 0olcar, the 'ide/de/cam# to the 'rgimiliaran 'm%assador to &ha(aar.

4) GM Info
Tellurin is not actuall! l!ing a%out the Golden Grimoire. The legend he tells is correct. &ome #ertinent details, however, are given %elow. These notes wor$ed in the original cam#aign and ma! go against man! *canon* stories and #u%lished su##lements. If these notes are not suita%le, #lease feel free to change them. Most im#ortantl!, the Golden Grimoire is real and still e4ists on the >oung +ingdoms #lane, though hidden in <rg and the orest of Troos. This is another adventure entirel!. ;hat are foresters doing so far south: Cutting high/.ualit! wood for e4#ort, to %uild the warfleet that sails on Imr!rr at the %eginning of -lric of Melni%one. The *d!ing Chaos God* was indeed from a far world. More #recisel!, the god was Malal, from ; 6"'s <ld ;orld. The Grimoire does indeed contain #owerful s#ells. The! are T(eentchian s#ells 1again ; 6"3, The Changer of the ;a!s, ;arhammer's Chaos God of Magic. The s#ells #ertain to the infusion of Chaos energ! into living creatures, thus #roducing mutations, h!%rids and throw%ac$s to earlier eras. The god Malal was fleeing from T(eentch and his demons ta$ing the Grimoire which re#resented some fifth of T(eentch's #ower in the <ld ;orld when, mortall! wounded, Malal gated to the >oung +ingdoms #lane. The wi(ard who found the %oo$ was 'mrus of the ,har(i. 0e and his followers used the T(eentchian s#ells in the creation of the 0unting ,ogs of the ,har(i and other su#ernatural %easts. Thus %egan the great war %etween the ,har(i and the Bright -m#ire. or !ears the outcome hung in the Balance until the the -m#eror Mati$, aided %! 'rioch of Chaos, stole the Golden Grimoire and used its #owers against the ,har(i. That was 7??? !ears ago. The rest, as the! sa!, is histor!. The Grimoire was %elieved lost in a ,har(i counterattac$9suicide mission. But the war was over and the Bright -m#ire %egan to contract. "la!ers ma! attem#t Music Lore rolls, or an! other 0istor!/ or 6eligion/related Lore s$ills the! ma! have in order to get some of these details. Melni%onean characters can claim %onuses to these rolls as the war against the ,har(i was a #ivotal moment of Melni%onean histor!. The &ha(aarian 6o!al Li%rar! and the 'rchive of 'r$!n in 'flitain ma! contain fragments of these legends %ut gaining access to these #laces will need some heav!/dut! role#la!ing as the! are under loc$ and $e! after the Battle of &ori$. ,emons of +nowledge might %e a%le to confirm some of these details %ut the onl! entit! who could trul! tell it li$e it is would %e the Lord of the &even ,ar$s himself.

5) Behind the Scenes

<f course, not all is as it seems. or "Cs who have %attled against 'rioch, a sim#le tri# to a Li%rar! would %e wa! too eas!. The "Cs are %eing set u#. The Gods of Law watched the Battle of &ori$ with great interest and were disma!ed at the rise of Chaos in &ha(aar. This cannot %e allowed to carr! on. The Lords of Law conceived a tra# for Chaotic "riests and 'gents. &#read rumours of a fa%ulous Chaos Treasure recentl! found in the wilderness. ,raw the enem! there and the! will destro! each other for #ossession of the treasure. Those that survive can %e destro!ed %! the Lawful defences of the Tower. ,arius Bardin / an 'gent of ,on%las / was visited %! his God in a dream in which ,on%las e4#lained the situation %ehind the Battle of &ori$. If 'rioch has %een interfering, so must the forces of Law redress the

%alance. Bardin contacted s!m#athisers of Law / such as Tellurin / throughout the >oung +ingdoms. 'lread! two or three small #arties of Chaos s!m#athisers have %een destro!ed. Now, greater #ri(es have %een ensnared) the "Cs and, +haile$ @andar, a "an Tangian Chaos sorceror who desires the Grimoire to attem#t to overthrow the Theocrat. The "riesthood of Law have %een ver! su%tle in their #lans. Man! of the #eo#le the "Cs will encounter $now nothing of the #lot %ehind the action. The Lords of Law / who will not act directl! on the >oung +ingdoms #lane / $now their #lans will ta$e time to come to fruition %ut the! are #atient and will wait. ,on%las et.al. are e4erting their #owers ver! slowl! and can even o%scure certain information from ,emons of +nowledge. <ne #ossi%l! chilling result of this o%fuscation would %e to have a ,emon of +nowledge driven mad itself %! the Lords of Law=

PART TWO: THE JOURNEY 1) Introduction

;e have to assume that the "Cs are intrigued %! this .uest for a most formida%le magical artefact. In the first instance, Tellurin will as$ the "Cs to travel to Cadsandria, the ca#ital of 'rgimiliar. There the! are to meet with Baron "riam, an official of 'rgimiliar's ,i#lomatic &ervice. The good Baron has a ma# which will hel# guide the "Cs to southern 'rgimiliar. The #referred method of getting to Cadsandria will %e %! shi#. Ase of sorcer! to s#eed u# the 5ourne! should %e discouraged. ;ith all the official activit! in 'flitain at the moment 1Grand ,u$e +romir %egins his duties wielding a rod of iron3 and the strong #resence of Lawful #riests, sorcer! will %e .uite difficult to $ee# concealed. The Lords of Law can %e said to have intervened 1indirectl!3 if necessar!.

2) Transport options

The %lac$ sailed galle! ca#tained %! Lan$ of "an Tang. This shi# is met in the Cr!stal of ,aerdaerdarth scenario. Given the general distaste with which "an Tangians are held, the #la!ers ma! wish to avoid this o#tion.

The ca#tain, &uhalt of Nar, is willing to ta$e #assengers, #articularl! if the! claim to %e sorcerors who could hel# #rotect his shi#. 1'gain, this vessel is descri%ed in the ;hite ;olf shi# sheets.3

The "Cs can #a! their mone! and ta$e their choice. It will cost CD? LB to %u! #assage, #er #erson. -4tra cargo will cost more. -4tra ris$ will also cost more. If attac$ed, all #assengers are e4#ected to hel# defend the shi#s. Ase an! sto#overs in the 5ourne! to re#lenish "C num%ers.

In most cases, roll com%at accordingl!. 0owever, if the "Cs travel on Lan$'s shi#, there will %e no fight. Instead, Lan$ will hoist the "an Tangian ensign, the #irate ca#tain will %oard and have a long discussion with Lan$. This conversation will eventuall! turn to the "Cs, with the result that the Theocrat will hear ever! word. If the route runs through the ,ragon &ea, ma$e a Luc$ 6oll for each da! in that region. Ase the Ca#tain's "<;. ailure indicates a run/in with a &ea &er#ent. This will serve the "Cs right for ta$ing such a ris$. &torms can hit as well.
