The Enemy Within 4: Power Behind the Throne (1e)
 |
Intrigue¸ Corruption and Death in the great city of Middenheim!
Refugees fleeing town¸ ridiculous taxes¸ priests of Ulric and Sigmar fighting in the streets¸ and rumours of beasts in the sewers - something is very wrong in the City of Middenheim. In the confusion of the city's carnival¸ only the cunning and the brave will be able to cut away a web of conspiracy and aristocrats with secrets to hide¸ to uncover the hand behind a plot to control the city itself. Or there will be death¸ and hell to pay for it.
A small Reikland village is savagely attacked¸ and the hand of Chaos tightens around the greatest City State in the Empire. The adventurers face their greatest challenge yet as they find themselves in a net of violence¸ deceit and betrayal. They must use diplomacy and negotiation as well their weapons and magic to work out what is threatening the city - and who or what is behind it all. But they must be vigilant: the minions of Chaos will stop at nothing to destroy those who oppose them.
Power behind the Throne is the third adventure in the epic The Enemy Within campaign¸ set in the city of Middenheim (as described in Middenheim: City of Chaos).

This PDF reissues the Hogshead Publishing Edition of the Power Behind the Throne book. We've painstakingly scanned every page¸ and created a PDF that maintains the appearance of the original. This does make for a slightly larger file than we'd normally produce¸ but on this occasion¸ we think it's worth it for all the great First Edition feel! The PDF is also bookmarked for ease of reference.
