Introduction
ousillon is the Lost Child of Bretonnia, the Land of
Despair. It suffers under a terrible curse that renders
its land poor, its people fearful and ignorant, and its nobles
wicked. Ravaged in recent times by plague, war, and
abandonment, Mousillon is grim and ugly. It is a land where
few sane men go. And yet some do still come to this place
willingly, perhaps looking for profit, safety, or adventure.
Most such men fail, defeated by the cruelty of the land and
the despair of its curse. But there are victories to be won in
the Lost Duchy, for some of its evils can be vanquished with a
strong blade and a pure heart. But no matter how many heroes
come to Mousillon, perhaps its curse will never be lifted, and
the greatest victory to be won in Mousillon will be to escape it
before it claims your soul.

first three include all the needed details to flesh out Mousillon,
while the final three present an incredible adventure that takes
a band of heroes into the most perverse parts of this land and
back again.
Chapter One: The Lost Duchy
offers a detailed look at
the Duchy of Mousillon, exploring its rich history and an
overview of what it’s like to live in Mousillon, either in the
trackless badlands or in the stinking pit of corruption that is
its only city. Describing life, society, religion, and a selection
of antagonists, this chapter is just the beginning of your tour
through this bleak land.
Chapter Two: A Traveller’s Guide to Unlovely Mousillon
presents a gazetteer of the duchy, covering the land in all of its
awful glory. Detailing the city and the surrounding lands, this
chapter gives you everything you need to bring this decrepit
place to life.
Chapter Three: Rise of the Black Knight
describes all of the
movers and shakers in Mousillon, detailing current political
movements and defining the major figures at large in this bleak
land. From the Black Knight to the Gefreid the Pure, these
personalities might be short-term allies or campaign-lasting
enemies.
Chapter Four: To Mousillon
begins the adventure: The
Barony of the Damned. Here, the stalwart heroes are hired by
an enraged noble to recover the head of a villainous thief and
agitator who robbed his household. Once the Player Characters
cross the border into Mousillon, they encounter peasants and
discover intrigues that affect even the duchy’s lowliest citizens.

Or sympathies, perhaps. Of all the bleak places in the Old
World, few are as famous for their evil as grim Mousillon.
When compared to the pomp and splendour of knights
devoted to honour and chivalry, Mousillon is a stinking
quagmire of despair and death. Where the Lady of the Lake is
upheld in the stories and chansons of the singers, Mousillon
is a place of sunken villages, rampaging disease, frogs, snails,
slugs, and decrepit people somehow surviving despite all odds.
Still around? Good. For every simpleton in a village square, for
every malformed peasant digging in his nose, Mousillon has
equal amounts of adventure. It is an exciting place on the cusp
of a new era for Bretonnia. New powers emerge to threaten the
good and hard working people of Bretonnia. A foul evil grows,
and it’s up to bold adventurers to cast down this malignant
force.
Barony of the Damned
is
a setting sourcebook and
adventure rolled into one.
Building on the foundation
set forth in
Knights of the
Grail: A Guide to Bretonnia,
this volume takes a closer
look at the evil that threatens
to consume this fabled land.
And while the source material
serves to support the adventure
that encompasses the majority
of this book, it can be the
starting place for adventures of
your own design.
