Boneless Heresy: The Heretical Enchanter’s Dark Plan

Following the road beyond the forest, you arrive at Volsinor, an ancient fishing village.

Since the fall of House Farnesian, the heretical enchanter has seized control of the village.

He has corrupted the lagoon it overlooks, turning it into a foul-smelling swamp where only fish carcasses remain.

The townspeople live in terror and squalor, forced to pay an abominable tribute just to remain human.

The heretical enchanter commands many spies; his Hermit Crabs lurk unseen, watching people inside their own homes, while his Black Guards maintain order in the streets with an iron fist.

Within his villa, past heavy gates and an intricate labyrinth, the heretical enchanter is crafting a new body for himself through forbidden and abominable practices. Can you stop him before he assumes his final form?

Prepare yourselves, adventurers: once you enter Volsinor, you may leave forever changed.

When they open, they reveal the mollusk within, a sight that, to many, vaguely resembles a woman. When threatened, it begins to sing, stunning those closest to it.

A peculiar type of hermit crab, spawned by the enchanter’s rituals, infests the homes of the hamlet. As it grows throughout its life, its appetites shift alongside its size, rendering it increasingly voracious and lethal. They attack only when provoked, preferring to remain unseen while they spy.

Once the consort of the Enchanter and the true heir to House Farneren. She soon became the heretic's first victim, stripped of her dowry and imprisoned. Tortured within her own home and corrupted by the Enchanter's rituals, she is now forced to give birth to his vile offspring.

These experiments by the enchanter are cast into the lagoon from his villa above; they are soon scattered by the currents and can mislead sailors.

If you are a fan of body horror and Lovecraftian atmospheres, You can't miss it!
