Jhaddar Campaign

So it was with great rejoicing and revelry that the Mad-Sultan’s only son and heir, the blood-prince Sabal-Ya, visited YOUR humble district with his royal retinue. His day was spent strolling the local bazaars, while the night was a scene of great feasting and carousing in one of its many back-alley drinking dens. But as is often the case for the poor and humble folk of Jhaddar, joy is but a veil too easily torn - revealing the strife and horrors hidden beneath. As the morning found the blood-prince purple and lifeless, strangled in his bedchamber, and the killer at large!

In the ensuing confusion and madness, the Mad-Sultan dispatched his most trusted adviser, the dark and mysterious Holy Vizier, to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for his son’s demise. When three days elapsed and still no murderer was identified, the Holy Vizier decreed that all must pay for the crime!

Now YOU stand charged with the murder of the royal blood-prince, and hereby condemned to the sacred burial crypts as Servus Mortem – death-slaves of eternity!

Jhaddar the Vile
This adventure starts in Jhaddar, a wicked and decadent city-state, ruled by a mad sultan, and fraught with ancient blood feuds. It is a land of dark sorcery and nameless horror, where ancient terrors lurk in shadow-haunted tombs, and silk-clad priests consummate vile sacraments upon bloodstained altars. Regarded by many as the Great City’s wretched and twisted little step-sister; where her sprawling tenements and rat-ridden bazaars entice with the poisonous gleam of a tarnished jewel, Jhaddar's crumbling towers and alabaster domes fester like half-buried bones in a sun-drenched waste.

Designed for sword and sorcery play in a grim age, this adventure is inspired by the vast works of Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith, and as such was deliberately written with a lean toward the more "purple" prose of those Appendix N masters.

It is said even the boldest of heroes cower when madness sits the throne, and in the perilous and lurid city-state of Jhaddar the Vile - its sultan was indeed mad. Ascending to his family's royal seat of power following the untimely and controversial deaths of his father and brothers, the Mad-Sultan's reign was mired in gossip and dark foreshadowing from the start. Alas, unfortunately for the common folk, their fears proved true, for the Mad-Sultan was a wickedly cruel ruler who left his people oppressed, poor, and in constant fear.

Fancying himself a direct descendant of the last great god-king Xothula, the Mad-Sultan deemed his word infallible and his right to rule divine. Along with the usual decadence and depravity common to all self-indulgent rulers, the Mad-Sultan's sins included dark sorcery, vile necromancy, and demon worship. But of all the horrible and wicked blights delivered upon his subjects, the most terrible was the reinstatement of the ancient funerary practice of "Servus Mortem" - the use of death-slaves. A heathen and long abolished custom whereby the living are entombed with the dead in order to aid their masters in the journey to paradise.
