Power Behind the Throne

The epic Enemy Within campaign now reaches up to the far north-east of the Empire and the impregnable city of Middenheim, perched atop a pinnacle of rock that towers far above the Middenland and the Drak Wald forest. Why are the Dwarfs and the wizards preparing to leave the city? Who are the Templars of Sigmar, and what are they doing? And what of the rumors of beastmen? An intricate web of deceit, corruption and murder will draw the adventurers into the high society of the Empire, rubbing shoulders with the great and the good - and the foul and corrupt. But can they tell one from the other before it's too late?

Power Behind the Throne has been hailed as one of the finest role-playing adventures ever written. Demanding skill and concentration from players and GM alike, it unfolds in a uniquely satisfying way to a climax which no player is ever likely to forget.

Like the rest of the campaign, the book comes with copious hand-outs and maps. What's more, the Hogshead edition has been expanded with an extra 14 pages of introductory adventure, titled Carrion up the Reik, designed to ease the transition between the end of Death on the Reik and the start of this adventure, and providing links to some events that happened earlier in the campaign - and some which will unfurl as the series races towards its epic conclusion in Empire in Chaos.
