Ars Magica Adventure by The Medusa’s Lair
When an Infernal tractatus is found in the possession of an NPC that turned on the Covenant, the troupe has one lead: something is rotten in the city of Köln.
A Tale of Two Free Cities is an extensive mystery adventure for Ars Magica 5th Edition. It includes everything that a storyguide needs to run the scenario in approximately 12 hours. On Halloween 1227, an Infernal trap is sprung on a member of the Covenant. The first thread of this corruption leads to a nunnery in the city of Köln, where the characters can find clues leading to Wetzlar, which is being corrupted by Infernal forces.
This is a multi-location sandbox, where the characters have the opportunity to make supernatural allies to battle the forces of the Infernal. It is designed to fit within in the Curse of the Rhine Gorge saga (described in the Rhine Tribunal book, Guardians of the Forest) and the Infatuated Diabolist plot line from the Antagonist book. It contains notes on how to easily tweak the adventure to fit into an ongoing saga, as the Covenant investigates the Infernal corruption of an NPC.
Incorporating real events and historical personalities, it slots into a high-research saga; a historian from the region was consulted to capture the local folklore. This includes a fully fleshed out Mythic Wetzlar along with the supernatural forces within and around. Includes a foreword by local historian Felix A. Masak.
A Tale of Two Free Cities is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
