The shimmering virgin white snow that had fallen during the night lay like a covering blanket over Yndaros’ filth, but guardsman Elgalo knew what hid underneath. Neither the snow nor all who toiled at scrubbing and decorating the streets in honor of the Duchess’ wedding could erase the true rot, no more than they could wash away the shadows.

“My shilling is on the barbarians,” his newly recruited colleague Arala muttered.

Elgalo nodded agreement without really agreeing at all. That someone would try to transform the upcoming celebrations into a bloodbath was inevitable, but the candidates were so many he had a hard time picking a favorite – the elves, the refugees and the fallen templars were all equally close to hand.

It felt as if the kingdom held its breath, as if all Ambrians believed that the alliance with the High Chieftain would smother the many fires that flared hotter and hotter among them. He was of a different opinion…

“Or the Dark Lords,” Arala continued, “if the rumors are true.”

Elgalo made an effort to snort at the idiocy; what came out sounded more like a painful groan. He looked up at the Queen’s palace, cleared his throat and forced a scornful smile.

But the good guardsman did not get to express his contempt; he had not even the time to utter a single word, before his world ruptured and all was fire. 

A warm welcome to Yndaros – the aching heart of the Ambrian realm, and the stage where episode three in the Chronicle of the Throne of Thrones plays out.

Natalie ★★★★★

The campaign structure gives me so much more to work with than a simple dungeon crawl — the city's layered politics and that opening fiction about the guardsman really pull you into Yndaros. It's dense reading, but I've already run three sessions and my players are hooked on unraveling the conspirac

Penelope I. ★★★★★

The opening fiction about the guardsman and the snow really sets the tone for the city's dark secrets. I've already used the district maps and faction details to plan an entire campaign arc. This book is essential for anyone running adventures in Yndaros.

Hannah W. ★★★★★

The Yndaros setting book gives you so many hooks for intrigue and corruption, I’ve already built three different campaign seeds from the guardsman’s opening alone. It’s darker than the core rulebook, exactly what my group wanted.
