HWR2: Kingdom of Nithia
for all levels of play by Blake Mobley with Newton Ewell
The Nithians have long been the stuff of legend on the outer world; they are a little less mysterious in the Hollow World. Ruled by powerful pharoahs, said by some to be Immortals in mortal form, they are the most changeless of all the cultures in this realm.
The emperor is dead . . . long live the emperor! But is the new emperor a man of the people, or a tool in the hands of malevolent powers? Walk carefully, for no stranger is safe upon the streets these days, and adventurers least of all!
The mood of the capital city is turning ugly. Minions of the new emperor look on uncaring, while citizens disappear and philosophers fall to heedless mobs. The old emperor's elite guards are disbanded and scattered. Disorder reigns, and restless citizens threaten open revolt.
And yet . . . a whisper is heard. Civil war can be averted. An ancient artifact, the Milenian Scepter, can rally those who would serve the Empire best. But the Scepter has been lost for generations, and who can say where it might be?
The trail leads into the depths of the city, and across a dangerous wilderness to a forgotten oracle. For the lucky and the bold, perhaps it will lead to . . .
DARKNESS
Are they truly cannibals, given to performing sacrifices as entertainment? Is their architecture really some of the most extraordinary in all the Hollow World? Is there any truth to the rumor that there is some connection between the Azcans and the outer world tribes of the Atruaghin Clans? Are there any pleasant qualities about this warrior race?
AND
MYSTERY
What are the fabled powers of the Nithian pyramids? Is there still a relationship between the Haptans and the Tanagoro tribes? Do the tales of fabulous floating chariots drawn by fiery beasts contain more than a kernel of truth? The answers to these and many more questions are contained in these pages.
