Chapter Six - Heralds of a New Dawn

Having dealt with Ruprecht's minions, the Eternal Malady cultists, and recovered Karl, the PCs make their way to rhe Crusader encampment settled in the outskirts of Wolfenburg. Like the ruined city, the encampment is in terrible shape. The boy's absence has led to widespread fractures and new power groups that each have their own designs for the Crusade. Moreover, the shabby condition has enabled more sinister forces to infiltrate the group: in particular a Necrarch Vampire Lord who intends to destroy young Karl to prove that he himself is the legendary Champion of Darkness. The PCs return to rhe Crusade, navigate the confusing intrigues, and finally thwart the Vampire as he makes his move against the young man in the middle of a grand performance put on in the boy's honour.
