December 2019·p. 33

THE SHORT VERSION

The mounted retainers who once served Dolorum’s noble houses remain attached to their murderous ruler in death. Their spectral service makes protection an enduring punishment, tying the cavalry of the Emerald Host to the betrayals that destroyed their former lives and the realm they were supposed to defend.

Fantastical Realms: The Eightpoints

The crossroads of the Eightpoints inspires scarred warriors, scavenged equipment and remnants of older civilisations.
