Do our heroes have the courage to delve into its ancient and cursed halls?Ĭastle Drachenfells was originally a 1st edition short campaign made 30 years ago. Something is stirring in the Castle, a great evil again dwells its halls threatening the Empire. While the conscious mind looks in vain for the source of the unease, neck-hairs rise in response to it, and the stomach churns and flutters. A noiseless sound, an odourless smell, an unseen sight, and indefinable Something. Sensed somewhere below the thinking mind, somehow older and wiser than consciousness, there is something. Its seven towers claw toward the grey skies like the fingers of a mutated hand, and the bitter mountain winds howl around them like souls damned to torment by the foul sorceries of the Great Enchanter.īeyond the winds, beyond the cawing of the unclean birds along the crags, beyond the scrabbling of a rock lizard or other hopeful, hungry brute, beyond any sound a mortal's hearing might detect, there is something else. The nightmare of his existence has come to an end.īut Castle Drachenfels still stands, shunned even by the most desperate and corrupt inhabitants of the Grey Mountains. Man, beast or daemon, Drachenfels lies mouldering in a filthy sepulchre. A life of unknown thousands of years, if legends are true, is over. The very embodiment of horror and evil, he was slain by a Vampire and a humble mortal man (possessed by a force anything but mortal) in a way still sung by minstrels and extolled by poets and playwrights. Was ever such a vileness born of mortal flesh?"* -Lives of the Depraved, by Konrad Steinhoff (Talabheim, Schnuffler & Son Publishers, 2099.)ĭrachenfels, the Great Enchanter, is dead. Untold are the reaches of his barbarities, uncounted the number of his treacheries, beyond belief the depravities of his practices. A devil in human form, who cheated Death for centuries unknown a man with appetites so base they lay beyond satiation a necromancer, torturer of the dead, dismemberer of spirits vileness made flesh a wizard, a scholar, a monster. *"Constant Drachenfels, The Great Enchanter.
