This game is Illuminated by LUMEN, based on
the LUMEN RPG system designed by Spencer
Campbell, Gila RPGs. This game is in no way
affiliated with Spencer Campbell or Gila RPGs.
What is this: In Extremis is a tabletop roleplaying game designed for 2-6 players, about
fighting back the man using necromancy. Inspired by The Locked Tomb trilogy, players
(called Necromancers by the text) take on the role of exceptionally powerful witches who
use their mastery of life, death, and the human condition to keep them and their own safe
from other planetary invaders who want to steal their land.
What do you need: To play In Extremis you need a handful of six-sided dice (d6s), and 2-6
players. One player will take the role of Proctor: playing the roles of enemies and people
you come across, deciding when to roll dice and interpreting their results, and helping move
the game from scene to scene. The other players are all Necromancers: playing their own
character, helping the Proctor move scenes forward, and helping ensure everyone is having
the best time possible!
Who are you: You are a Necromancer, one of a handful of hideously powerful death
witches that protect the planet Hecate, the final holdout for The Coven, from the ever
encroaching invasion of the Corvus Dominion. It is believed The Dominion might seek
answers to why the Necromancers use death magic, or maybe minerals from the core of
Hecate, although they have never said as much themselves. Regardless of why they arrived
though, they will do everything in their power to destroy all life on the planet.

 Necromancers have a few skills to help them
fight back The Corvus Dominion, among
them are Approaches, Disciplines, Health,
Wells, and Spells.
Approaches refer to how a Necromancer
might approach a problem. There are three
approaches in In Extremis:
Bone: Studied, methodical, or
diplomatic actions. In combat this might
involve using spells you’ve practiced and
prepared for exactly moments like this,
while out of combat this might mean
picking your words carefully with
Muscle: Strong, powerful, or bold
actions. In combat this might be charging
directly into fire to strike at a target, while
out of combat this might mean saying
what you need to say consequences be
damned.
Nerve: Quick, reactive, or misleading
actions. In combat this might involve
using unexpected maneuvers at a
moment’s notice, while out of combat
this might mean lying or charming your
way out of a situation.
8 9
Disciplines represent areas of expertise Health refers to the amount of damage a
outside of combat. During character Necromancer can take before they drop. By
creation you’ll be able to choose two default, all Necromancers have 5 health.
Disciplines. Below are some examples, you
can feel free to choose from the list below, or Wells are a powerful resource in the hands
you may discuss as a table what other things of a Necromancer. A Well enables one to:
you might be good at: use spells and abilities during combat,
restore life to yourself or an ally, or increase
Alchemy the number of Approach dice you roll for a
given situation.
Arcane Knowledge
Spells are incredible and powerful abilities
Blacksmithing that only the Witches of Hecate have access
to. These spells allow a Necromnacer to
Crime bend the natural order of the world to their
command, and are both part of the reason
Diplomacy the Corvus Dominion is after them, and the
only thing protecting Necromancers from
Economics the Dominion. Each time a spell is cast, a
Necromancer will burn a Well. In addition,
Law some spells have Banes which are
advanced abilities that must be learned
Medicine through leveling, and alter how a Spell
functions until the end of your mission.
Nature Banes can be activated any time you would
activate a spell, and make the Spell both
Religion more powerful, and significantly more
narrow in application, at the cost of not
Technology being able to unBane the Spell until you’re
able to rest.
The Spells presented in the book don't
represent the only magic that exists on
Hecate, nor the only magic you are capable
of as a Necromancer, rather what you have
practiced for use in a fight. Outside of
combat if you would like to do something
that makes sense for a Necromancer to be
able to do on some level, talk it over with the
Proctor. They may say no, have you make a
roll, or have you burn Wells to do what
you're attempting.
Lasting Wounds and Disabilities:
Necromantic healing is far from a perfected
art, and while it works great for some
people, not everyone takes as easily to it (nor
does everyone want it). Some Necromancers
find that despite being able to regrow whole
limbs, or rewire their nervous systems,
sometimes disabilities persist. Legends of
powerful Necromancers from the past
include a variety of Necromancers that used
magical and mundane assistive devices to
help with issues they were born with, or that
were caused on the battlefield.

Rules
During play, the Proctor will describe what is
going on, and the Necromancers will
explain how they respond to it. When the
Necromancers would do something, and
failure is a possibility, or there are
consequences if things don’t go perfectly,
they can roll dice. Generally avoid rolling
dice if failure isn’t both possible, and
interesting to the story.
When a Necromancer rolls dice, they can
choose which of their Approaches is best for
the situation, and describe how they are
embodying that approach in what they are
doing. A Necromancer will roll a number of
d6 equal to their Approach, taking the
highest roll. If a Necromancer has 0 in that
Approach, they roll 2d6, and take the lowest
roll. If a Necromancer rolls a result that gives
them options (such as success with a
consequence or failure), it is up to the
Necromancer to decide how to interpret that
dice roll. If a Necromancer has a Discipline
that is relevant to a roll, they can treat their
approach as if it were one level higher.
Before rolling dice, a Necromancer may also
burn a Well to treat their Approach as if it
10
were two levels higher.
1-3: Failure, with a consequence
4-5: Success with a consequence, or failure
6: Success
Health and Damage
When Damage is done, a creatures loses
that much Health. An enemy with 0 Health is
dead. If a Necromancer would die due to
having 0 Health, and they or another
Necromancer within Close range has any
Wells, they may burn it to return to full health
instead. If no one has any Wells left, the
Necromancer dies.
Health and Wells recover at the end of a
mission.
If someone is dead, they are dead
permanently, unless they know a of the week, and the number of Wells a
Necromancer willing to take on The Ritual.
The Ritual is said to be the only thing
capable of bringing someone back from the
dead entirely, but it is not without its costs.
Performing the ritual costs 5 Wells, and takes
1 hour, but there is rumored to be an even
greater cost for a revival, and it isn’t for the First Quarter 7 Wells
faint of heart. Every Necromancer has heard
a story about what happens if they revive
someone, but there are no known records of
it actually happening, it’s rumored that no Waxing Crescent 6 Wells
one who has done it has survived for much
longer themself.
New Moon 5 Wells
Wells and the Moon
Necromancers have a variable number of
Wells depending on the current phase of The Waning Crescent 6 Wells
Dead Moon. The standard number of Wells
for a Necromancer to have is 7. If the
Necromancers are ever off planet, or Third Quarter 7 Wells
unmodified by the moon, they will have 7.
On nights of a full moon, Necromancers
have two additional Wells, and on nights of
the new moon, they have two fewer Wells. Waning Gibbous 8 Wells
The Dead Moon has a 8 day cycle over
Hecate, and weeks are 8 days long for that
reason. To the right is a chart with the days
Full 9 Wells
Necromancer will have. Why The Dead
Moon has such strength over the
Necromancers is a topic covered in the Lore
section later on. A Necromancer can never Waxing Gibbous 8 Wells
have more than 9 Wells at a time.

Combat
Combat in In Extremis is designed to be
quick and bloody. There is no need for a
map, as In Extremis uses rough distances to
keep things moving. Combat happens in
Rounds, and during each Round every
Necromancer gets one Turn. After all the
Necromancers their Turn, the Proctor takes a
Turn.
Necromancer Turns: During a Turn a
Necromancer can move, and make a single
action. An action is anything that requires a
dice roll, or the use of any power that says it
requires an action. Generally
Necromancer can move about 1 Range
unless they use their action to book it, in
which case they can move 2 Range. Some
example of actions might include:
Making a weapon attack
Kicking a door down
Hacking a console
Pushing past an enemy at Close range
to run away
12
Proctor Turns: During the Necromancer's
turn, if they make an action that requires a
roll, and the roll has a consequence, an
enemy gets an attack off. Enemies generally
have specific amounts of damage they can
do written on their stat block, as well as a few
abilities. During the Proctor’s turn they may
have up to 3 enemies use actions from their
blocks, as well as having all of the enemies
move. During the Proctor’s turn, they should
also shake up the battlefield a bit. Whether
this is moving enemies, shaking up the
terrain, or something else entirely is up to
you, but you want to try to avoid having turns
where nothing is happening.
a Enemy Drops: When an organic enemy
dies, a single Necromancer may roll a d6.
On a 1-2, the enemy leaves nothing behind.
On a 3-4, the enemy leaves behind 2 Health
which any one Necromancer may claim. On
a 5-6, the enemy leaves behind a Well which
any one Necromancer may claim. Non-
organic enemies, such as the robots used by
the Corvus Dominion drop nothing upon
their death.
If no one immediately claims an Enemy Drop
it stays open and available to grab on the
Necromancers Turns.
Range: In Extremis uses 4 ranges to tell how
close things are to each other.
Close Range: This is close enough to
reach someone with a melee weapon,
around 10 feet or so.
Mid Range: Across the room, and just a
quick jog away. This is the 10-40 foot
range.
Far Range: At far range things are
harder to get to quickly, and ranged
weapons really shine. This is the 40-80
foot range.
Extreme Range: At this range, you can
make things out but not reliably hit them
with weapons. Enemies at Extreme
Range need to be chased down, or left
to flee.
If you are at Close range to an enemy, and
either of you attempts to move out of range
without using a Spell or Ability to do it, the
other can make an immediate weapon
attack against you.
13

Flashbacks
In Extremis uses a system called Flashbacks
to cut away from the action for a moment to
drive player and character scenes home
stronger, or they can be used for player
discussions about safety tools. Any time a
Necromancer is about to do something
significant, or a player wants to cut away to
discuss what’s happening in game on a
meta level, we can call for a Flashback. Here
are some examples of Flashbacks in use:
1. Domitia is about to strike what they hope
to be a killing blow on one of the
Generals in the Corvus Dominion. We
call for a Flashback scene here to
Domitia talking to the group about the
time this specific General killed their
parents, painting a very deliberate image
of why this blow is so significant for them.
2. Beth who plays Domitia is describing
how Osteomancy causes their body to
grow and stretch in strange ways as they
attack someone. One of the other
players had brought up during character
creation that descriptions of body horror
were off the table for them, so the
14
Proctor, or another player, calls for a
flashback to check in with the table so
everyone can discuss how best to move
forward from here. Beth apologizes
because she forgot that was off the table,
the flashback ends, and we go back to
the game, but reframe the scene so it
doesn’t contain the body horror.
At the end of a Flashback, the table can
discuss, and if it is agreed upon, grant 2
extra dice to the next roll one of them makes.
In the first case the table discusses, and
Domitia gets the extra 2 dice on their roll to
make sure they kill the General. In the
second example, the table might decide to
give the extra dice to the player who called
out the body horror Line as a thanks for
making the playspace better. The important
part is that the extra dice are always
discussed as a table, and they don’t
necessarily default to the person who called
for the Flashback.
Character Creation
Character creation in In Extremis is easy to
do. First, take a look over the 9 Archetypes
to see what sort of Necromancer you’d like
to play as. Each Archetype has a different
group of active and passive Spells, but it is
possible to learn active Spells from other
Necromancers as you level up.
After choosing an Archetype, fill out some
basic information about your Necromancer
such as thier name, pronouns, general
aesthetic. Necromancers usually start
Session 1 at Level 1, but check with the
Proctor to make sure that is the case. Using
the number packs provided for each
Archetype, go ahead and stat out your
Approaches, assigning one number to each
stat. As a group you can also discuss what
sorts of equipment you might have on you
(in addition to what is on the sheet already),
your two disciplines, and any other general
information that might be pertinent to your
Necromancer.
Each Necromancer starts the game with at
least 1 Relationship with a non player
character living on Hecate. Talk it over as a
group to see who knows who, and try to
really flesh out some of the folks you might
come across before you start playing the
game. If a lot of you have history with some
of the same people, it will immediately make
the group feel more cohesive.
Next, each player will go over the Lines and
Veils each of you would like to have in the
game, and each player can write them on
the appropriate section of their character
sheet. Lines represent hard boundaries, and
subject matter you don’t want the game to
approach at all. Some examples might
include body horror, drug use, or violence
against children. Veils represent soft limits,
where discussion of the subject matter
should move quickly, fade to black, or be
hand waved away when possible. Some
examples might include depictions of sex,
violence against animals, or self harm. Lines
and Veils should always be respected, and
you’re always welcome to add more things
to the list as you play, at any point!
Character Creation is also a great time to
talk about other safety tools your group may
want to use. There are a ton of great options
online, but I personally love Script Change
by Beau Jagr Sheldon, and X-Card by John
Stavropoulos. Note that no safety tool alone
can provide a perfect play space, and that
you can always say “no”, change consent,
or walk away from a bad group or a bad
actor at any time. No game is worth having
a bad time, or enduring abuse, not even In
Extremis.
15
 Leveling Up
In Extremis uses a milestone leveling system,
which is to say that Necromancers level up
when it makes the most sense in the story. At
each level you will get two Advancement
Points, which you can use to learn new
Spells, or level up Spells you already have.
You do not need to use all of your
Advancement Points when you get them, but
you can only level during character down
time.
Leveling up a Spell takes an increasing
number of points. In each spell you may see
things written as 1/2/3 these represent
Damage (or other things) changing as the
Spell is Advanced. The first Advance (from 1
to 2) takes One Advancement Point, and
the second (from 2 to 3) takes Two
Advancement Points. If a spell has a Bane,
it costs Four Advancement Points to unlock
that ability. In addition, if you would like to
learn an active Spell from another
Archetype’s Spell list, you can do that for
Five Advancement Points, after which it
levels like normal.
16
On Balance
In Extremis isn’t worried about the concept of
the characters being perfectly balanced
against each other. I’m aware of some
potentially endless loops of Spells. Some of
them are intentional, some of them are
accidental. At the end of the day this is a
story about being a super powerful
Necromancer, and if something feels
powerful that’s not a bad thing. The dream
is that each class feels unique to play as, and
the game is fun because of that. If as a
playgroup you feel someone isn’t keeping
up, or someone is grossly overpowered
because of your team composition, decide
together whether that’s a problem, and then
decide what the best way to fix it is! In a
group with 4 Necromancers there are more
than 6000 possible combinations of
character classes, so to some extent it’s
impossible to know exactly how things shake
out in different team compositions.
Ending a Session
At the end of a session, you should spend a
few minutes as a group discussing Stars
and Wishes as a wrap up tool. Each player,
including the Proctor should list at least one
of each, but feel free to list even more!
Stars represent things you liked about
the game you just played in. This can be
story beats, unexpected rolls, or
anything else that comes to mind that
made the game or group fun to be in.
Wishes represent things you wish
happened in this game, or you hope to
see more of in the future. These can
include story beats you’d like to see
more or less of, NPC’s you were hoping
to see, or anything else that comes to
mind.
Star and Wishes are a great wrap up tool in
part because it lets everyone help shape the
narrative of the game, and provides a solid
jumping off point if there are things you’d
like to add to the Lines and Veils list that you
didn’t think to mention mid-game, or during
a Flashback.

Lore
 Basic History: Hecate is one of the 8
inhabited planets in the Opiter System, a
system rife with magical ability. Hecate sits
on the edge of the system, a small cold ball
of a planet, filled to the brim with death, and
orbited by 2 moons. While Hecate is home
to Necromancers, each of the other planets
has its own kind of witch or mage. Among
them are:
The Elementalists of Vibernius
The Illusionists of Hosidius
The Healers of Gratia
The Enchanters of Seudia
The Ward Witches of Cocceria
The Transmuters of Sextilus
The Summoners of Camillus
While space travel is possible, the transit
between planets takes a good amount of
time, and while magic exists, it is extremely
difficult to communicate from planet to
planet without just flying there. For this
reason, while all the planets were inhabited,
40
communication between them has been
lacking, a flaw the Corvus Dominion
exploited when they set their eyes on the
Opiter System.
Starting from the center of the system, with
Vibernius, the Corvus Dominion slowly, but
surely decimated each planet in order,
leaving the Necromancers of Hecate the sole
survivors in a war they never planned for.
Unlike their brethren though, the
Necromancers had an ace up their sleeve in
the form of The Council of Haruspices.
Mounting a dangerous mission,
Necromancers were sent to Axia, The Red
Moon, to interrupt a first strike the
Haruspices believed to be incoming.
Woefully undermanned, in part due to the
ego of the Haruspices sending them, only
one Behemoth, Atilla, was sent to do the job.
The mission to Axia marked the
Necromancers first contact with The Corvus
Dominion, and a pyrrhic victory over their
army. While a Corvus Dreadnaught was
destroyed, it came at a massive cost. The
Red Moon, Axia, was sacrificed to empower
a spell powerful enough to wipe The
Dominion from the surface of the moon, a
trick that can only be used once (on Axia at
least), and has permanently changed
Necromancy. Ever since, Necromancers
have found their powers waning and waxing
with the phases of the moon.
Hecate: Aside from being the smallest, and
outermost planet in the Opiter System. The
planet is ruled by The Coven, and previous
to the arrival of the Corvus Dominion, there
were 300 years of peace amongst not just
the citizens of Hecate (called Hecians), but
all of the planets in the Opiter System. Not a
perfect society by any stretch, survival on
Hecate is difficult due to both the cold
weather, and the untamed and rabid wildlife
living outside of the citizens. For these
reasons, among others, there is a strong
history of neighbors helping and protecting
one another.
While Necromancers obviously exist here,
most Hecians show no aptitude for magical
ability, showing rates of magic significantly
below the rates on the other planets in the
system in fact. The government of Hecate is
Socialist, and strongly avoids treating
witches as a special class of people, despite
their powers. Within the government exists
The Coven, a mixed group of Necromancers
and those without power, who have formed
to both protect Hecate from invaders, and to
explore space.
Travel beyond the Opiter System is
theoretically possible, but no one has ever
returned after having left the System. It is
theorized that The Corvus Dominion come
from some far flung planet in another
System, but as they do not speak the same
languages as those in the Opiter System, no
one has been able to really ask them.
Despite it’s small size, Hecate is rich with
materials rare to the system. Among them
are titanium which is good for ship building,
water, and high nitrogen soil which is good
for growing produce while in space. The
Coven works under the assumption that The
Corvus Dominion is wiping out so many
planets in part because they need some sort
of materials from them, and find the endless
warring beneficial in a way that trade craft
might not be for them.
41
Star Map (by mv)
 Schools: Outside of the Government, each
school of Necromancy has their own school,
focused on training specific abilities. While
generalist Necromancers exist (especially
outside of the schools), most young
Necromancers find themselves drawn to a
specific school.
The Gym trains young Necromancers in
Muscle magic. Muscle Witches
frequently go on to work in security style
jobs, and in joining The Coven to
explore the stars beyond.
The School of Osteomancy trains
young Necromancers in all matter of
Bone magic, and students who graduate
from here are in high demand to help
fortify the bones of the Behemoths, and
in guarding cities from the large beasts
that live outside the walls.
The School of Neuromancy trains
Neuromancers in all the different
applications of Nerve magic.
Neuromancers can frequently be found
working government jobs due to their
ability to easily suss out lies in speech,
although there are certainly some
Neuromancers doing less savory work.
44
The Council of Haruspices allow very
few people to join their numbers,
training only students showing a ton of
promise in the old ways. The Council
works closely with The Coven, making
sure problems are dealt with before they
become bigger, and that problems are
known about before they show
themselves naturally. The Council is well
respected amongst Hecians, not just for
the work they do keeping the planet
safe, but for keeping the old ways alive
for as long as they have.
The School of the Weird Way trains
future Allothysists in magics previously
unknown, and are considered the rebels
amongst the schools. The Weird Witches
have trained heavily with the
Elementalists of Vibernius, as well as the
Healers of Gratia, and use some forms
of Necromancy never before seen. This
school also trains their Necromancers in
the use of slug throwers, weapons
considered inelegant and vile by most
Hecians.
The Seer’s Academy trains would be
Seers in communicating with those who
have crossed The Veil, the line that
separates the worlds of the living and
dead from each other. Due to their
abilities to see the history of an object
on touch, and the communication with
the dead, Seers are frequent hires in
museums across the system.
The Stitcher’s School trains the healers
and hospital workers of Hecate in some
of the strongest healing magic known by
the Necromancers. Stitchers also
frequently find work in the many
mortuaries on the planet, as well as less
savory work in disguising people who
might not want to be found.
The Humoralist Conservatory trains
Necromancers in the balancing of the 4
humors: blood, yellow bile, black bile,
and phlegm. Humoralists end up some
of the more well rounded Necromancers
all in all, and find it easy to make a
living doing almost anything after
graduating.
The Keratinist Institute gives
Necromancers training in magics
related mostly to nails and hair, as well
as in the use of all sorts of weapons. The
Institute is the most combat focused of
any of the schools, and graduates find
themselves in planetary defense forces
frequently, although a not-insignificant
number of them also go into the beauty
industry.
Some other specialized schools exist for
Necromancers, that teach people to pilot
Behemoths, or train Necromancers in more
specific Necromancy such as that done with
plants, but the schools presented are the
ones Necromancers in your group are the
most likely to have trained from.
In addition, it is not common for
Necromancers to eventually train at multiple
schools, especially if they live long enough to
master the Magics they were initially trained
in. Necromancers who undergo training in
multiple schools of Necromancy are in
demand all over Hecate as both teachers,
and lawmakers.
45
 The Behemoths: Massive spacefaring
creatures that have roamed around Hecate
since time immemorial, they are massive,
and aggressive by nature, but through years
and years of bloody turmoil with them, they
have finally found a measure of tameness. A
few Neuromancers exist who have trained
heavily in their specific biology, and they
have found with the right approach, the
Behemoths can be trained, and used to
explore the stars. These trained Behemoths
become massive starships, reinforced by
titanium and Necromancy, and are used by
Hecians to transport huge masses of people
between the planets. As they are creatures,
and naturally occurring ones at that, well
cared for Behemoths continue to grow as
time goes on, making the oldest ships in the
fleet also the largest. A single Behemoth
seemingly lives forever assuming nothing
kills them, and continues to grow through its
life.
With rare exception, a Behemoth takes a
large crew to control, due to a large number
of systems and subsystems that need hyper-
specific training. The Behemoths are crewed
by a mixed crew of people, some of whom
are Necromancers, some of whom are not,
although most of them are captained by a
46
Necromancer, just because they are the ones
most likely to be able to step into any single
role on the ship.
The oldest Behemoth in the fleet is Atilla,
who was part of the First Contact War with
the Corvus Dominion. Her Captain, Varia,
was one of the Necromancers responsible
for killing the moon, and destroying the
Dominion, but the war also saw the initial
death of Atilla. With some of the energy from
the dying moon, and some magics still
unknown to most Necromancers, Attila still
flies, although now undead, piloted by Varia
alone, who exists only as a spirit aboard the
vessel. This undead Behemoth is a thing the
Coven would love to research more,
although they have not had the time to
devote to it thanks to the ongoing war
efforts. (A bit of this lore might be different if
your group played through The Death of The
Moon which is available as part of the free
Quick Start guide, and goes over The First
Contact War in a little more depth.)
Forbidden Magics: Rumors are whispered
among students of The Stitcher’s School of a
healing spell powerful enough to truly revive
the dead. It is possible in theory, but to the
knowledge of even the oldest Haruspex, it
has never been done successfully, and trying
has carried a massive cost, though what the
cost was specifically is one of very few
mysteries lost to time. Necromancers that
see field work likely have some knowledge of
this magic, as it is easy enough to intuit, but
it is believed to be taboo for a reason.
True Resurrection isn’t the only magic that is
taboo though, far from it in fact. Magic that
makes things rot, especially those things that
were never alive, is possible in theory, but
practiced only by the most radical of
Necromancers. Other forbidden or taboo
magics include spirit siphoning, corpse
preservation, and travel through The Veil.
The Corvus Dominion: Believed to be from
another star system entirely, they’ve been in
a constant war with Hecate since arriving on
Axia 5 years ago. They wiped most of the
system quickly, and in the 5 years since the
war has started, have made not one
demand, seemingly wanting little from the
planet aside from the complete and utter
destruction of all life on it. Many theories
exist as for why they are in this war, the
leading theory seeming to be related to the
fact that a Corvus with magical affinities has
never been spotted anywhere in their
armies. Maybe the war is some sort of holy
war designed to wipe magic out of the
Opiter System.
Other theories exist about them needing the
minerals from the system, the Corvus
Dominion just loving war, or other things
entirely. In recent months, The Coven has
begun sending Necromancers deep into
Corvus holdings, seeking more information
as to who or what they are, and what it is
exactly that they want from this war.
Individual Corvids are fleshy, bird-like
creatures, with pointed faces made of some
sort of keratin. They have hollow bones, 3
hearts, and are surprisingly light under their
metal armor. The names the Necromancers
refer to them as are names largely invented
by Necromancers, since not a single attempt
to communicate with these intruders has
proven succesful. As such, they are referred
to with bird names, mimicing their birdlike
appearance, and love of shiny objects (in the
form of metal armor and bots).

True Resurrection
Throughout this book, the possibilities of
True Resurrection are dropped, although
each time it is mentioned that it is a bad
idea, and that the Necromancers don’t know
quite why. Here is all of that information.
You may share this with the Necromancers if
you would like to, but it is intended to stay a
secret, so that if they try it, they are hit with a
major new problem that didn’t necessarily
see coming.
Doing the True Resurrection Ritual takes a
full hour to do, and has a few effects, not all
of which are intended. The person you
intend to bring back comes back. This is
obvious and immediate. Dragging a soul
across The Veil also births 3 Resurrection
Monsters of different sizes, in different
places.
A Small Resurrection Monster
immediately tears through The Veil to
attack the Necromancers at the site of
the Resurrection. It only kills those who
show an aptitude for death magic.
50
The following day a Medium
Resurrection Monster is birthed in the
same spot. This monster is significantly
more intelligent than it’s kin, and is
much more likely to make allies in an
attempt to take out the Necromancers,
than it is to attempt it on its own. Unlike
the Small Resurrection Monster, the
Medium Monster doesn’t mind killing
those without death magic to further its
planning where necessary.
When the Medium Resurrection Monster
dies, the following day a Massive
Resurrection Monster is created. The
smallest of these monsters are the size
of small moons, and just like their
brethren they are only out to kill
Necromancers. Unlike their brethren
though, they have the power to wipe out
a whole planet to that end, and they will
do that if it is the most clear way to solve
their problems. These monsters are
created somewhere near the sun, and
their approach is obvious.
After doing The Ritual, the Necromancers
immediately become aware of the exact
nature of the problem they created.
Unlike the others, the Massive Resurrection
Monster doesn’t have stats that appear in the
book, as the Necromancers are unlikely to
take it on directly. Instead, it should provide
the basis of a few sessions of play to discover
a weakness, or another way to destroy the
monster with the resources available to the
Necromancers.
In the wake of doing The Ritual, ask the
Necromancers the following questions to
generate some more lore and general
depictions of the monsters they created.
Following each question are some possible
jumping off points, but stress to the group
that there are no correct answers.
What are the monsters made of? (Flesh,
bone, metal)
In days of old, what were the monsters
called? (The Revival Monsters, The
Returned Beasts, The Veil Killers)
What is one aesthetic thing the monsters
all share that ties them together? (Eyes
that glow, tentacles that sing, too many
fucking teeth)
What old piece of history makes more
sense with the new context that these
monsters exist? (The lost colony on Axia,
the people that never return from
crossing The Veil, the old Queen of
Hecate who returned from the dead and
oversaw the slaughter of many
Necromancers)
What are the side effects of seeing these
monsters in person? (Plagued by
nightmares, a smell of death that can’t
be washed away, newfound desire to
cannibalize corpses)
What special ability do these monsters
share? (They paralyze those that see
them, they can sing with the voice of
1000 angels, they siphon away the souls
of those they kill)
What secret do you know them to be
hiding? (Where the Corvus Dominion
comes from, the location of an ancient
weapon, the secret to all magic)
Why has the existence of these monsters
been lost to history? (No one has ever
survived, they exist outside of space time,
those who saw them can’t remember)

Plot Hooks
The LUMEN system, and In Extremis by
extension is extremely flexible and can be
used to tell a lot of stories. Here are some
basic plot hooks to get the game moving if
you’d like them, but feel free to ignore these
if you would like to
Recently the Atilla has gone missing
from the fleet. Her last mission was to
go to Seudia to do some scouting. To
this end, you’ve been given Harrowhark,
the smallest and fastest Behemoth in the
fleet.
The Sun of a nearby system is going to
explode soon. This does not threaten
Hecate, but the light of the dying sun
might provide a new power source for
the Necromancers if they can find and
do the correct ritual in time.
The heads of The Council of Haruspices
have begun to be plagued by
nightmares, and their readings of the
future are becoming more murky.
56
Notes of an ancient weapon that dwarfs
the strength of a Corvus Dominion
Dreadnought have been uncovered. It
lies in the very heart of Axia, The Dead
Moon, and would require her help to
uncover.
The head of the Seer’s Academy
believes they have found a way to
communicate with the spirits of dead
Corvus. They need the Necromancers to
kill someone with specific information
that could prove invaluable to the
continued survival of Hecate.
The head of state has died, and they’ve
been an incredible asset in the fight
against the Corvus Dominion. A few
brave Necromancers willing to take on
True Resurrection regardless of potential
consequences are being looked for.
Rumor is a few key officials on Hecate
have begun working with The Corvus
Dominion, in an attempt to sacrifice
Necromancers for the sake of everyone
else on the planet. Stop them.
