Sleeping away the day suited the night hag perfectly. As her identity suggested she was much more comfortable in the darkness. Returning to her seat in the main hall of the house, Malindra summoned Captain Jorwan to see what information he might have to sate the night hag’s endless curiosity. Night hags had two passions … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 13
The Fall of Käsestadt
The collapse of Limbourg as a functioning state wasn't something that happened quickly. The fall of the old capital of Käsestadt was the final stage and only occurred twelve or so years ago. But the destruction of this once proud city was so complete that it now serves as little more than a ruined sanctuary … Continue reading The Fall of Käsestadt
Infamous Villains: Le Duc
Of all of the horror stories that have originated in the Wenigzustand none are more revolting and nauseating than the origin of Condamner's ruler, the infamous Le Duc. As one of the Little States most elusive and quietly sinister figures Le Duc is both well known and yet one of the most difficult to understand … Continue reading Infamous Villains: Le Duc
Notable NPCs: Kardigazz Drak
In the far northeastern corner of the anarchical land of Limbourg sits the imposing and aptly named Castle Dreadmore.

The Gopher King: Chapter 12
The Viceroy had been occupied for some time with going around the ruins of the city gathering up the ghouls that he found scattered about.

He scoured about for anything resembling a useful clue but found … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 12
The Gopher King: Chapter 11
Back at the old winery there was more information being bandied about.

The overall tone of these reports was optimistic now … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 11
The Gopher King: Chapter 10
Facing Malindra the night hag was less of a treat for Sheckner than spying on the Viceroy. As it was for every one of the hobgoblins that had settled into life in Maelonbourg as the muscle for whatever ploys the night hags cooked up, Sheckner was accustomed to being threatened with violence for any misstep. … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 10
The Archduchess
Now that Maelonbourg and Oublier have been united as one state under the somewhat ponderous title of the Archduchy of Maelonbourg and the Wenigzustand there have been a number of changes in the western portion of the little states. Not least of these is the first lady of the realm, Archduchess Shar Lersha von Slothjem-Kovak. … Continue reading The Archduchess
The Gopher King: Chapter 9
Malindra’s keen senses told her that there were living beings milling about the old winery. She paused and gave careful consideration to her physical form. In the wink of an eye she reverted to her natural form. She shrank ever so slightly from her voluptuous human form and took on the appearance of a hideous … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 9
The Gopher King: Chapter 8
Malindra held her head up defiantly as the rain pummeled down. She pulled her hood up and stared at the tiny green lights in the Viceroy’s eye sockets. The rainwater washed over the lich as it would an old decaying tree and had about as much effect on him. Malindra had dealt with undead in … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 8
