A one-shot scenario for the Elric! Edition ruleset by Jim Abbott.

A Shadow Falls Over the City of Spires!
Dhakos, the capital of Jharkor, a city whose splendor is whispered to rival even the ethereal beauty of Imryyr, the Dreaming City, is teetering on the brink of chaos. A sinister plot is unfolding within its walls.
There is discord amongst the city’s influential merchant houses, fanning the flames of rivalry and suspicion. Whispers of betrayal and sabotage fill the air, and tensions are escalating rapidly. Unless brave individuals can uncover the source of this growing conflict and quell the rising tide of animosity, the magnificent streets of Dhakos will run with the blood of the innocent.

A one-shot or convention scenario, Death in Dhakos, sees our heroes facing off against Makor Tanyen, and his worshippers of Chardros and Hionhurn. Drawn to the magnificent City of Spires, Dhakos, the adventure unfolds as the nefarious plots arise and fierce rivalries are exposed, disasters even the mightiest of champions might not overcome!

Two Gods – one Dead yet Living, the other trapped behind the Barrier of Law – struggle for power in the Young Kingdoms. For too long has this battle has ebbed and flowed, and now through the manipulation of an innocent bard the plans of both sides reach towards a conclusion. 

Yet, even now the Mistress of Fate, Balance, acts in the guise of our heroes. Through their actions and decisions, the future is yet to be decided. Which God will prevail? Only time – and perhaps the Book of Brilliant Things – may tell… 

The Book of Brilliant Things is a scenario written by long standing guardian of all thing Eternal Champion, Loz Whitaker and appears as one half of the supplement – The Fate of Fools (released by Chaosium Inc in 1994 for the Elric!

The Book of Brilliant Things is recommended as a Must Run scenario.

Creating a Young Kingdoms Campaign

Creating a Stormbringer campaign can be a complex task, assuming that the Game Master is, like Michael Moorcock, attempting to tell a long and involved story with its own set of heroes, villains and memorable occurrences. The best such campaigns are planned from the beginning, but it is also possible to begin without a grand narrative envisioned from the start, instead starting with a simple idea for perhaps one or two short, self-contained adventures and embellishing the plot as you go. This, after all, was how Moorcock’s own epics grew.
