 THE BEAST RETURNS
THE BEAST RETURNS QUEST
The beast returns is the second quest in the story of the city of Ulfenkarn. The heroes may have defeated the
master of the Cursed City in battle, but Radukar lives still, nursing his wounds and his hatred, growing in
strength with every passing day. And now, with the city plunged into the chaos of an unnatural and
unending night, the heroes find that their greatest challenges lie still before them. Great lords of the undead
are beginning to gather, drawn by the chaos of a city in turmoil and no longer in the grip of the wolf. They
seek to lay their own claim to Ulfenkarn’s throne.

 DUNGEONS OF THE CITADEL
The heroes have been captured by agents of the Wolf, and interred in the dark dungeons of the Ebon
Citadel, hurled into dank and lightless oubliettes at the command of the vampire’s chamberlain, Torgillius.
One member of their party, however, managed to evade capture, and contacted the airship Adamant before
returning to loose the fetters of their comrades. If they can make it to the extraction point, the heroes may

A dozen lifetimes have passed since the power-mad Grand Marshall Kanlich bound the soul of his rightful
king to a cursed blade and claimed the throne of Xalacar, but the ambition of this cunning Wight has not

will encompass the whole coastline of Cor Mortifus. His army has come to the gates of the Ebon Citadel
itself, and he means to force his way through the huge iron gate which bars his way. If the heroes cannot stop
him, he will claim his place as the new master of Ulfenkarn, ruling with a fist of iron and bone.

 LORD OF BLOOD
It takes all the resolve the heroes can muster to venture along the narrow and crumbling tow-path of the
decrepit canal. Once a bustling vein of trade and commerce, the canal ran red with the blood of Radukar's
victims until at last it was overwhelmed by the deluge of gore, and stagnated into a stinking morass of filth
and blood. Only the most depraved and broken of Ulfenkarn's deathly residents can tolerate the stench. No
wonder, then, that the mad would-be emperor Valiros has established his flesh-eating court of insane
cannibals along its corrupted banks. The time has come to purge the rot, and let the purifying waters flow
once more.

 LORD OF SPIRITS
The haunted district of Gheistgale was abandoned long years past. Even Radukar and his lieutenants did not
venture beyond the spectral veil which has been drawn up around this ancient corner of the city. The Wolf
of Ulfenkarn used it, rather, as a prison for those few enemies for whom death was too great a mercy. Those
who were cast into this nightmare realm were never seen again; they become the subjects of Dravoch, a
deathless spirt of unimaginable power and cruelty. And now the ephemeral jailer has broken free from his
own bonds - he means to transform the whole of Ulfenkarn into a ghastly prison. The heroes have no choice
but to venture voluntarily through the veil, and to hopefully find a way to seal Dravoch's spirit once and for
all.
