‘I saw a blasphemous city coming down from the heavens and as it
descended, the people cried out in woe! I saw death, madness, and
transformation as the Exalted Lord brought his Master’s realm to the
Crown of the Empire.’
Empire in Ruins is the fifth volume of the revised and updated Director’s Cut of The Enemy Within, one of most highly regarded roleplaying campaigns ever written. After the events of The Horned Rat
the heroes have won the respect and trust of many in Middenheim, but
before they can capitalise on their renown the Empire descends into the
turmoil of civil strife.
In the final part of the five-part series of grim and perilous Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay adventures,
a number of threats that the Characters may have thought far behind
them reassert their influence. Icons of authority and leadership are
found wanting, and the greatest nation in the Old World appears destined
to shake itself to pieces. Only by undertaking a dangerous journey can
the Characters prevent the ruination of all they hold dear.
Empire in Ruins Includes:
- The fifth part of The Enemy Within campaign, conceived by legendary WFRP writer Graeme Davis with contributions by a team of talented WFRP writers.
- The schemes of the Altdorf cell of the Purple Hand,
whose plots place those of Karl-Heinz Wasmeier and the Middenheim cell
in the shade.
- The ambitions of a certain Magister Impedimentae, how
they coincide with the grand designs of the Purple Hand, and how they
diverge.
- A culmination of controversies that have featured in
adventures over the past few years. The true architect of the Ubersreik
takeover, the rouser of Beastmen and mutants, the inspiration of
Daemonologists and heretics, shall be revealed.
- Memorable villains such as the Madcraw tribe, the Threshers, and the multifarious departments of the remaining Purple Hand.
