The Thousand Thrones (2e)
 |
It is a dark time in the Empire of mankind. The troubles of the Chaos Incursion left the north a smoking ruin¸ a bleak land infested with roving bands of Beastmen¸ a wellspring for the Chaos cults and their efforts to turn honest men and women into the gibbering slaves of darkness. Such horrors breed sorrow and fear and common folk huddle in the shadows cast by the far-flung north¸ searching for salvation from the gods¸ heroes or from anyone with the courage to reclaim their devastated land. A hero has come¸ but little did people expect he would be a young man from the Wasteland¸ proclaimed to be Sigmar reborn.
The Thousand Thrones is a campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay¸ promising to take adventurers from the stinking canals of Marienburg to the wester fringes of Kislev.
