A Stormbringer 4th Edition Scenario written by Nick Hagger, with art by Gustaf Bjorksten

Lost at the edge of the Eastern Desert, where the remains of a fallen god lie dormant, the champions of Mistress Fate are drawn to the Unholy Fortress. Trapped between the madness of a long dead deity and a ravening horde of crazed nomads, the characters must ally themselves with the fortress’ inhabitants (and a band of untrustworthy Pan-Tangian pirates) to ensure an evil worse than nightmare is stopped before it can be unleashed upon the Young Kingdoms!

The Unholy Fortress is a 22-page scenario written by Nick Hagger, and appears as the third (of four) scenarios in the Sea Kings of the Purple Towns  collection (released by Chaosium Inc in 1992 for Stormbringer 4th Edition).

Two Gods – one Dead yet Living, the other trapped behind the Barrier of Law – struggle for power in the Young Kingdoms. For too long has this battle has ebbed and flowed, and now through the manipulation of an innocent bard the plans of both sides reach towards a conclusion.
