The Dark Monolith
URL Copied!

The following sections present an example of three linked, narrative scenarios. In the first, two rival forces encounter one another unexpectedly whilst searching for the same monument to darkness. In the second, they battle once more for control of the monolith, each enduring the losses inflicted during the previous encounter. In the final scenario, the force that holds the monolith must fight bitterly to defend its prize against enemy reinforcements.

This is a simple premise, and much of the detail is left blank, leaving players to decide upon the armies that take part and upon the end goals of each player. Is the goal to destroy the monolith, or to use it for evil? Where do the battles take place? Deep within the Forest of Shadows, or upon the frozen steppes of Kislev? How large are the armies? Are they small patrols roaming the wilderness, or mighty war hosts gathered by powerful lords? These are questions for the players to answer. How they do so is part of the fun.

Note that each of the scenarios presented here can be played in isolation should you wish.
