Synopsis Some years ago, Azrenar, a cleric of Maramaga, Scythe-mother and Queen of Rot, petitions the king of Maerh-Varza to build a great temple to the ancient goddess. In great fury, the king seeks to put the offensive cleric and his followers to the sword and nearly succeeds. His follower’s dead bodies line the roads to Maerh-Varza and the cleric Azrenar curses the king, declaring bloody vengeance. Azrenar hides deep underground and he and his remaining followers find an ancient temple deep within the earth, one formerly held by evil dwarves centuries before Maerh-Varza was built. But when Azrenar takes over the temple, his mind is enraptured by the Reaping Stone, an ancient artifact once held by the Midnight King, a powerful wizard-priest of Maramaga’s order. Now channeling the power of the Reaping Stone, Azrenar has created a deadly supernatural disease, one capable of animating those who die of the horrible wasting disease. Will the spurned cleric turn Maerh-Varza into a zombie-infested metropolis or will the players find the cure in time?
