Chapter III: The Artefact
This chapter provides information and encounters for the main
plot: locating and destroying the Dagger of Yul K’chaum.
Since this section is intrigue-based, it includes details on many
NPCs, what they know, and how they fit into the plot.
pires of Altdorf
is the second part of
Paths of the Damned,
an epic campaign series for
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
It follows on from
Ashes of Middenheim
and is intended for
characters who are nearly finished with their first careers or
already into their second careers.
In this adventure, the Player Characters (PCs) head to Altdorf
to find and destroy the Dagger of Yul K’chaum, the second
artefact that contains the imprisoned essence of the Daemon
Xathrodox. Once inside the great city, they get caught up in
intrigue amongst the Colleges of Magic in their attempts to
acquire both the dagger and a method to destroy it.
Chapter IV: The Shadow of Fire
This section details the machinations of a Bright Wizard who
has sinister designs on the Dagger of Yul K’chaum. If his plans
come to fruition, a new chaos threat is let loose in the Empire.

Paths of the Damned: Spires of Altdorf
consists of the following
sections:
Chapter V: Bad Blood
This final chapter provides information and encounters for the
final plot, that of a Crimson Skull cultist trying to get revenge
on the PCs for their actions in
Ashes of Middenheim.
The
Aftermath
section of this chapter wraps up the adventure and
details experience point awards.
Heart of the Empire: Altdorf
This section provides an overview of the capital of the Empire.
It includes a history of the city, descriptions of both generic
and specific locations, adventure hooks, and advice on evoking
the proper atmosphere for Altdorf. While this material is
focused on providing you what you need to run this adventure,
it also gives you plenty of information you can use to run
further Altdorf scenarios.

In order to use
Spires of Altdorf,
you will need the
Warhammer
Fantasy Roleplay
rulebook, plus paper, pencils, and dice.
Although you can run this adventure on its own, it works
much better as the middle section of the entire
Paths of the
Damned
campaign. If you are starting with this adventure, four
pre-generated characters have been provided at the back of the
book. They are kitted out and ready to go.
Spires of Altdorf
is not an ideal adventure for the novice GM. It
contains three major storylines that require constant juggling by
the Game Master. You really need to be comfortable in the GM’s
seat before attempting to run an adventure like this one. Unlike
Ashes of Middenheim,
the action is not presented sequentially.
Instead, the adventure requires you to assess what your players
have done and advance the plot as appropriate. This requires good
timing and a large dose of common sense. You also need to be
intimately familiar with the material, so it is recommended you
read over the material at least twice before running the adventure.
Chapter 1: The Second Shard
This chapter is an overview of the adventure in full. It provides
details on the three main plots, statistics for the two primany
antagonists, and general advice on how to run the web of
intrigue at the heart of
Spires of Altdorf.
Chapter II: Farewell, Middenheim
The adventure proper begins here, in Middenheim. The PCs
benefit from research in the Collegium Theologica, which puts
them on the path of the dagger and on the way to Altdorf.
Italso details their journey on the road to Altdorf, and the
perils that bevil them.
