Introduction
“The death of a wanted heretic is only the beginning of our holy task,
not the end. For the heretic can be found, can be killed—but in his
wake, he may scatter ten thousand seeds in the fertile soil of human
weakness that grow to strangle the future.”
and inighting caused by long-simmering tensions and
brought almost to the boiling point by the very mysterious
murders they are investigating, the Acolytes are free to pursue
their own investigations based on the clues they uncover and
the suspicions they form. Because of this luid situation, the
GM is required to respond to the players’ decisions and shape
the unfolding story and its outcomes accordingly. d amned
C ities in no small part has been designed with this in mind,
and also features a detailed gazetteer of the city and world
where the action is set, detailed background and character
descriptions to help in this regard, as well as advice on running
mysteries and open-ended investigations in your games.
d amned C ities opens with the Acolytes assigned (or
suddenly being reassigned—see page 33) to investigate a
series of gruesome murders in the city of Sinophia Magna.
These killings have maleic overtones, and their consequences
for the world are far-ranging enough to provoke direct
Inquisitorial involvement into what would normally be a local
matter. Once their investigation gets under way, the Acolytes
rapidly ind themselves in an invidious position in which
to attempt to carry out their mission. Although oficially
sanctioned, they are effectively friendless and unaligned
to any particular faction. This situation is compounded by
the rapidly escalating cold war between Sinophia’s criminal
underworld, its decadent nobility, and their corrupt agencies
of control. Against this dark background of social unrest,
urban decay, and growing turmoil, the Acolytes must steer a
path between clashing factions to solve the mystery behind
the killings, their cause and culprits—whilst the true power
behind the murders gets ever closer to its goal.
Can the Acolytes save the damned cities? It’s up to their
actions and skills to decide.
–Lord Inquisitor Caidin, Eulogies Vol. VI
for the d ark H eresy roleplaying game. This
adventure features a number of different game styles,
from survival horror, to intrigue, to investigation and desperate
action. d amned C ities can be played on its own without
dificulty, but is intended to form the second installment of the
modular Haarlock Legacy Campaign arc, and its use as part of
this campaign should only serve to deepen and improve the
experience both for players and the GM.
Game
Master’s
Brieing
D amned C ities is a murder-mystery adventure set
against the darkness of the blighted world of Sinophia
and in the decaying and corrupt city of Sinophia
Magna amidst its viperous rivalries and festering hatreds. It
brings the Acolytes face to face with murder, spite, greed,
treachery, and warp-spawned horror, and ultimately reveals
the lengths that the late Erasmus Haarlock was willing to go
to achieve his terrible ends.
In format, the adventure itself is not precisely linear, but
rather unfolding events depend on the course the Acolytes
take against a backdrop of a steady escalation of the intrigues
transpiring on Sinophia. Set against an increasing civil unrest
