The ocean holds many dangers and terrors, but the greatest of these may be the Kraken. A gargantuan cephalopod, the Kraken has an insatiable hunger and will hunt any ship or boat that crosses its path. There is little intelligence behind the beast’s black glassy eyes. What little there is exists only to rip vessels apart, tear men from their ships, and devour whatever it comes across. Conventional wisdom is to avoid Kraken infested waters whenever possible, and to turn tail and run when one is spotted on the horizon. However, should you be the daring kind, Krakens can be hunted as their meat, teeth and organs are valuable to the

The Morningstar is many things to many people; a star in the night sky, a planet in the cosmos, a light to guide us, a mythological figure, or the great enemy of man. Whatever it might be, a sliver of the Morningstar found its way into a carnival masque and has been causing mischief and mayhem ever since. When someone puts on the Masque, it melds with the person’s face, becoming entirely unnoticeable. While wearing the Masque, the person becomes a charismatic virtuoso, able to sway anyone to his point of view, turning heads with his silver tongue. But none of this is the victim’s doing. It is the Masque itself

Built as sentinels and watchers, Gargoyles are the immortal and immovable guardians of their sanctuaries. Built of solid stone and given life by a magus or holy man, the Gargoyle is a grotesque imitation of both man and beast. They have the spark of intelligence like a man, but the impulses and aggression of a beast. They are the thus the perfect guard dogs, ever patient, ever ready, ever watchful. Some, however, are separated from the castle, church or temple that they were carved onto. Often by intention as they are carried off from a ruin, or by accident if they become lost chasing their quarry. These forsaken Gargoyles are never

Some men obtain power, some take it, others are granted it, and a few are born with it. The original owner of this Grimoire certainly fell into the last category. Born with an innate arcane talent that dwarfed any who came before or after him, the young mage was meant for great things. He certainly rose to his potential and became a Guardian of the whole mortal realm, protecting it from those across the aether who wished to do it harm, and steering the course of history simply by being the most powerful mortal in existence. However, power not only corrupts, it attracts corruption like a light does moths. The toxin

Death Knights are evil incarnate. Born of dark magic, a Death Knight is the most recent in a long line of evil warriors that stalk the world, each one raising the next Death Knight in line. These twisted warriors wish only to bring wrath and ruin to mankind, compelled as they are by the necromantic magics coursing through their undead veins. A Death Knight caught by himself is a force to be reckoned with, but like a snowball, the longer he is left to gather momentum, the more dangerous he becomes. As he himself was raised to unlife, so can the Death Knight create more undead to serve him as his
