Product Description:
Nulak, bent on his task, failed to heed the Priestess Nectanebo's warning. Instead, he called upon his dark sorceries to weave his great spell. The Incantations of the Paths of Umbra spilled from his mouth and hands until they lay like thick dew upon the floors of the Emperor's room. The pooled and congealed, spreading from room to room until the halls and rooms were mired in their eldritch and foul stink. Nulak bent his powers to summon a great horror from the Void. Sebastian Oliver, last of the House of Aenoch, used his own sorcery learned from the Wizard Aristobulus, to aid Nulak. And even Nectanebo lent her considerable weight to the spell's undertaking. The Paths of Umbra, the Winter Runes, a spell of Ondluche the Goblin's of old, split the Wall of the World, opening a gate to the beyond. It opened the world to the horrors of the Great Empty, the Void.

And Unklar, the horned god, wrapped in shrouds of the substance of creation, stepped into the world of Erde. Thus began the ending of the Age of Man for many long years.

The Rune Books
Promotional Sale Item $5.00 - For a limited time only!
The book's adventure series, "Of the Horned God's Winter." In one great arc DMs are supplied all the material they need to introduce the RuneMark and his peculiar magic as well as the Rune Lords. Here they must wrestle with the powers of the wizard Izarian and overcome his lust for vengeance. When he is thrown down the riddles of the Winter Runes lead the adventurers on a great overland trek until road's end, where they must unravel the secrets of the horned god's minions and master the Runes and their dread magic.

Though set in the world of Erde Winter Runes is easily adapted to any homebrew game or published setting. The wastelands of the northern mountains yield to the dark fens and broken hills of Gottland-Ne. There lay the iron foundations of the great fortress of Varucks a heap of burnt slag and tortured rock. This land of dark shadow and forgotten dream yields a wealth of adventure from the stunted Gottland trees, 'not but Trolls weighted down by their own evil, to the squalid throne called the Elephant's Back.
