The Coming of the Shadow

A plan for an epic Birthright Campaign

Note: I am still cleaning up the editing on this... it will take a while
This document sketches out the briefest outline of a campaign that can be run in any of the regions of Cerilia: the Return of Azrai (in the form of the Cold Rider). This document details an alternative timeline of Cerilian history centered around a centuries-long struggle between the forces of the Shadow and (primarily) the followers of Rournil. In general it remains true to the canon (no dates have been changed), it only places those events in a context and fills out the details. The second section details each of the two factions (those of Darkness and of Light), in particular focusing upon the strategies of the Cold Rider and how they can fit into a campaign in any part of Cerilia. The final section includes a list of potential adventures for the first and second periods of the struggle (before and after the public emergence of the forces of the Shadow).

The necessary documents to run this campaign include: an appropriate edition of Dungeons and Dragons rules, a Birthright Rulebook, Blood Spawn (available free online) and regional books for Cerilia. A Book of Priestcraft and a Book of Magecraft are useful, as are particular Player's Secrets books (especially Medoere and perhaps Hogunmark).



Timeline of the Fall and Return of the Shadow

-973 MR

The Battle of Deismaar: Azrai’s form is shattered by the self-sacrifice of the Old Gods. Much of the power of Azrai and the other gods is scattered amongst the survivors of the struggle, though certain individuals are imbued with the lion’s share, becoming gods themselves. Haelyn, Nesirie, Erik, Sera, Rournil, Kriesha, Belinik and Avani rise to godhood. However, Azrai is not completely destroyed and the majority of his power is drawn into the Shadow World, along with his most dedicated followers: The Lost.

The Serpent and the Hag both strike deals, not yet fully submitting to his will, but willing to aid his cause for assistance. The Gorgon says neither yea or nay but begs for time to think.

The Forces of Darkness

The sacrifice of the Old Gods at Deismaar shattered the Dark Lord Azrai, in effect, his form was eliminated and his essence scattered. At the same time, the energy of the Gods’ sacrifice opened a mighty portal into the Fey Realm. The depleted spirit of Azrai along with the Lost, his mightiest followers, were drawn through the portal into the other side. At the same time, a goodly portion of his divine essence was dispersed and absorbed into Belinik, Kriesha and the soon-to-be blooded and awnseghlien.


“When Azrai's physical form was destroyed at Deismaar, some small part of his soul survived in the ethereal realm of spirit which the halflings inhabited. This was at first no more than an evil taint; Azrai was not conscious, and for all intents and purposes did not exist as a self-aware entity at this time. He was only the memory of evil, but that proved to be enough to corrupt the halfling's idyllic realm.


Over the course of the three or four centuries immediately after Deismaar, Azrai's spirit spread throughout the spirit world, much like a drop of oil spreading a corrupt sheen over the surface of a lake. This evil grew more and more powerful, until finally it gained the ability to manifest a physical form once again. This was the Usurper or the Cold Rider, a malign will given body and form in the spirit world. His increasing presence twisted the spirit world into the Shadow World, and the halflings left.


For the next few centuries, the halflings' migration continued as the Shadow World worsened. At this point, the Cold Rider was still a figure of mystery and ill will—not consciously malevolent, but more of a harbinger of evil to come. He became a "Flying Dutchman" of the Shadow World; appearing at random times, drawn to extremes of evil or good, leaving doom in his wake.


In the last four or five centuries, the Cold Rider has come to understand that he is the direct heir of Azrai's evil, and as he has grown stronger, more and more of Azrai's personality, powers, and memories are reappearing... He is the voice of darkness, the harbinger of doom, and the living incarnation of the perverse ironies and corruption of the Shadow World.” (5)


In effect, the Cold Rider is the Shadow World. The Shadow World has always had the ability to bend and be shaped by a powerful will. When the essence of the great god entered the world, it became permanently fused with that place. Today the Cold Rider/Azrai/The Shadow World is not so much a deity as a plane of existence that has gained a malevolent sentience. The only regions of the Shadow World where his power is lessened are the regions under the influence of the Maeve, the Faerie Queen. However, the Queen must struggle constantly to keep her region free from his power and her strength weakens with each passing year.


Azrai has always been obsessed with power and domination and for some centuries now his goal has been to return to Aebrynis and destroy, once and for all his enemies. He is greatly hindered though in the fact that he is no longer a god and cannot leave the Shadow World (after all, he is the Shadow World). His current goal is to reverse the ancient split between the Shadow World and Aebrynis, to melt the veil between the worlds. He believes that if the Shadow World is joined with Aebrynis, his spirit will infuse the land, taint the magic of the land and come to dominate.


To achieve this goal, he believes that a tremendous act of realm magic will need to be done in Aebrynis at a weakened point between the worlds. Currently, he has four possible candidates: the realm of Tuar Annwn in Vosgaard, the province of Sideath in Tuarhievel, the ruins of the College of Sorcery in the Imperial City (6) and the site of Deismaar in the Straights of Aerele. Deismaar would probably be the most promising magically, though not practically. Tuar Annwn is also a strong magical candidate, but a difficult nut to crack. The Imperial City’s portal to the Shadow World is weak, as is Sideath’s and both are relatively well protected. As he cannot cast the spell himself, he has sent the Lost back into Cerilia to gather strength. Currently, he has several plans in the works to bring about his return and prevent the forces of Cerilia from undermining him:


1) Unite the Vos under the Raven and use them to smash the land of Tuar Annwn. The Raven, perhaps with help from the Magian and El-Sheighül will then cast the necessary spells.


2) Bind the Gorgon to his service. When Anuire tears itself apart in war in the near future, the Gorgon, with help from Azraen servants across Cerilia, will sweep across Anuire. When they capture the Imperial City, his servants will cast the necessary spells. Thus he is promoting the struggle for the Iron Throne in Anuire.


3) Destroy the magical power of the Khinasi. Their high concentration of true mages, the fact that all of these mages are bound by oaths and the peoples’ worship of the Light disturbs the Cold Rider, who sees them as one of the greatest threats to his schemes. To achieve this, he has El-Sheighül working to destroy Mesire, his servants in Aftane fighting against Ariya, the Serpent working to undermine the Temple of Rilni and the Magian preparing invasions of the eastern lands. He hopes to bring other local awnseghs to his service soon.


4) Take over Mieres, covertly or overtly, and use it as a staging ground for building a naval force that will occupy the Straights and summon him through the site of Deismaar.


5) He has found the Rjurik and their faith in Erik to be difficult opponents and so he works to undermine their kingly lines and turn the realms to infighting. The awnsegh known as the White Witch has devoted herself to his service after he promised that he would grant her title to the Highlands. This is a minor front for him.


6) In Brechtur he believes he will have more luck tainting the Brechts with their own greed. Eventually, he plans to close the Great Bay to traffic through ice, pirates and monsters and starve the Brechts. This is also a minor front for his plans.


7) Destroy the followers of Rournil wherever possible. In Mairada, the Serpent is besieging their temples. In Diemed, he will assist in preparations for the coming war. Zoloskaya he hopes will soon fall to the Raven and the Hjorig temples are being undermined by the madness of the Jarl.


8) Turn Tuarhievel to civil war and use the Gorgon to destroy it and the Lich in Sideath, then cast the spell from there. However, this is a last resort as the Cold Rider is not certain the portal in Sideath is strong enough as the Lich has worked hard to close it.


9) In general, the Cold Rider despises the elves, who he sees as the key to his downfall and one of his most powerful threats today. He will do whatever necessary to undermine elven states and help the destruction of their people. Cwmb Bheinn and Tuar Anwnn are targeted by the Raven. The Magian has orders to destroy Rhuannoch. The Gorgon will hopefully eliminate Tuarhievel, Coullabhie and the Sielwode. The White Witch has promised to bring Lluabraight to heel. El-Sheighül has standing orders against Rhuannach and Innishiere. He hopes to overcome the Manslayer’s will and send him on a suicidal mission against Anuire at the key moment.


The Forces of Light

For Rournil and his followers, the war against the Shadow has never ended. While the Anuireans and others turned to Empire, conquest and trade in the years following Deismaar, they never forgot that the Darkness was scattered, but not destroyed. While others have joined the struggle at times, only the Rournilites have been tireless in their protection of the border between the worlds. The first temple of Rournil, the Temple of Rilni in Mairada, today houses the world’s foremost collection of works on the Shadow World and its denizens. In this stronghold, generations of magicians, rangers and true wizards have been trained for the conflict.


Much of the Moon Lord's attentions were put towards containment and study of the Shadow World. After the magical disaster that trapped the realm of Tuar Annwn between Aebrynis and the Shadow World, Rournil’s faithful began to concentrate their efforts in the Overlook, building militant societies in the forests. His temples in Grevesmuhl and Hjorig were established for their easy access to the Grovenkevic. At the other end of the continent, priests of Rournil were instrumental in setting up the Society of the Rook to protect the ruins of the Royal College of Sorcery in the Imperial City of Anuire.


Other forces besides the Rournilites were also arrayed in this struggle. Individual wizards have long made the Shadow World a priority, those that stand out include the High Mage Aelies and the Swan Mage. The Chamberlain of the Imperial City of Anuire has a long-standing Council on the Shadow—an organization that once advised Emperors—and keeps track of Shadow World incursions; it is a mere echo of its former strength. Also in Anuire, members of the awnsegh-hunting brotherhood the Swords of Anuire have become concerned about the increasing number of abominations and are beginning to collaborate with the Rournilites. The Elven and dwarven states are also deeply concerned about the growing power of the Shadow World, but tend to be too threatened by more immediate foes to be able to do much. The Fae in particular seeks to oppose the growing power of the Shadow World. Many halflings, including the government of the Burrows, are actively involved in opposing the Shadow. Beyond Aebrynis, the Seelie Court and the halfling rebels fight in the Shadow World against the Usuper.



Adventures during the Coming of the Shadow

Ideally, the campaign begins in 551 MR as the Shadow forces are amassing, but are not known publicly. This gives PCs a chance to build up their forces and learn of the threat slowly. Various campaigns can be run within this timeline, including: re-uniting the Anuirean Empire (just in time for an apocalyptic battle), the Defense of Medoere (involving the still-mysterious Champion), the Siege of the Temple of Rilni (with perhaps aid sent to Zoloskaya), the Prophecies of Hogunmark (and the use of Shadowstrike, the Sword of King Wulf), the Elven Campaign (involving the Lich of Sideath, Maeve and the Seelie Court or the Fae) or even a Halfling Campaign (involving battles in the Shadow World).

The Second War of the Shadow
After the set-up, this section of the campaign details what happens after the Shadow has revealed himself. All of Aebrynis is placed under a deep curse (The Taint), the Gods begin assembling armies and the forces of the Shadow march on one of the portals (most likely Deismaar itself or the City of Anuire).

The Taint
A good way to start the War is with a Aebrynis-wide curse: The Year of the Accursed Births or The Year Without Summer. There is a taint on magic sources, encroaching Shadow World, the Gods are weakened. This can have huge implications: riots, famines, plagues, uprisings, apocalyptic religious movements, etc.
