The Last Children of Yetsabu-Nech — The Nameless Scriptures. Transcribed by Anuk Schleger, the monk.

P SALM I PSALM III

The Four Blessings of Yetsabu-Nech. The Four Apostles of Yetsabu-Nech.

1:1 Yetsabu-Nech visited the furtive. They
were content, so they received the
blessing of the split tongue to never
again speak a word of truth.
1:2 Unhappy, the furtive cut the tongues
from their mouths. So it came that
Yetsabu-Nech blessed them with
scarlet eyes that see the dead.
1:3 Overcome by terror, the furtive blinded
themselves with burning irons.
Confused, Yetsabu-Nech blessed them
with hands that transmute all to lead.
1:4 The furtive turned their families and
sheep into silent watchers. So they ate
their hands. Satisfied, Yetsabu-Nech
blessed them with demonic hunger to
finish the meal.
3:1 A poultry farmer came crawling to
Yetsabu-Nech to serve. Yetsabu-Nech
accepted, and the First Apostle grew a
beak and wings.
3:2 A king rode up to Yetsabu-Nech to
serve. The pretender was a fraud and
swindler, so Yetsabu-Nech made the
Second Apostle beautiful beyond pain.
3:3 A cur brought Yetsabu-Nech a bone for
which it killed its brother. Yetsabu-
Nech turned the Third Apostle into a
thing half human and half dog.
3:4 A decrepit heretic sought shelter and
someone to follow. Yetsabu-Nech
accepted the Fourth Apostle and gave
sickness, infirmity, and eternal life.

P SALM I I PSALM IV
The Pilgrimage. The Four Children of Yetsabu-Nech.

2:1 On a barren field, where the Greatest
City will rise and die, Yetsabu-Nech
encountered a plague-ridden deserter.
He made the deserter immune to the
infection's woes, to spread it far.
2:2 On the road untraveled, Yetsabu-Nech
met a man without legs, arms, but
with two begging heads. His work
was already done, so he continued on.
2:3 In the Valley of Flowers, near the First
Tree that spread life, Yetsabu-Nech
defecated onto the soil. Everything
died. Then everything returned.
2:4 High in the mountains, Yetsabu-Nech
found that he was alone among stone.
So he turned himself to stone to be
weathered by rain, wind, and snow
for a millennium.
4:1 In the land of famine, Yetsabu-Nech
traded a newborn for a loaf of
poisoned bread. The First Child
drank Yetsabu-Nech's blood and
nothing but blood ever after.
4:2 While bathing in a salted river, Yetsabu-
Nech lifted a crying anglerfish from
the mud. It became the Second Child
and illuminated the path.
4:3 Yetsabu-Nech tore the last green sapling
from the wheezing earth. It sprouted
into an evil creature of bark, brown
leaves, and apples.
4:4 Visiting the temple of the Unhallowed
Concubine, Yetsabu-Nech gave in to
the craving of the flesh. He sired the
Fourth Child which grew into a giant
with hundreds of eyes and ulcers.

All praise be Yetsabu-Nech.

An arcane, corrupted parasite causes the emerald

contracted by sleeping in dirty or cursed inns.
A creature coming in contact with the
parasite must successfully test DR8

Until cured, each day, an infected
creature must successfully test DR8

BLOATING
A sickness with an officially unknown cause. It
infects the young and the old, dispensing death
indiscriminately. Insatiable thirst swells the body
beyond recognition. Eventually, the infected bursts
open, causing violent death and a torrent of guts.
(unofficially cataloged as an escaped torture bacteria)
Officials, crooks, and serial killers use a
special tincture that contains the bacteria.
It spreads from corpses and discarded bottles.

A successful DR17 Toughness test

prevents contraction. An infected
creature has d4+2 days to live, during
which it must constantly drink.
Water, blood, alcohol—any liquid will do.

The only cure is a rare,

caves of Bergen Chrypt.

The world dies. The animals die. Everybody dies.
The circumstances of these deaths are not

DISEASE
 White Death
A vile respiratory disease caused by a fungus.
It starts growing in the lungs, creeps into the
throat and mouth, and eventually covers the
facial area in a white film.

A successful DR8 Toughness test

prevents contraction while exploring
caves and swamps.
Until cured, each day, the diseased
creature must successfully test DR8
Toughness or cumulatively subtract 1
from their maximum HP.

Rat Tail
Rat tail causes the diseased to grow
hairy tails across their entire body, most
pronounced in the face and on the palms.
People make a sport of hunting down the
sufferers of this disease, as it's no longer
contagious once the first tail grows in.
A creature bitten by a rat must
successfully test DR6 Toughness or
contract rat tail.
Until cured, the creature subtracts
d4 from all tests that involve their
tail-covered hands, attacks included.

Unclean Consumption
Repeatedly using UNCLEAN POWERS soils
the soul of the caster, distorts their organs,
and turns their bones to lead. Ultimately, the
unclean consumption eradicates their flesh.

A creature that fumbles an unclean

uses an unclean Power, it accrues

maximum of 3d4. With every point,
their flesh withers.
Upon reaching the maximum number, the
creature rolls d20.

On an odd number, she runs off to be sacrificed again.

¶
By Alex Kearney

HP 5 MORALE — BONE SHIELDING -d2

SHARP RIB d4 + SPECIAL (LEAP)
The parasite puts pressure
on the ribs and lunges. The
target tests DR15 for Defence
and the attack deals double
damage. On a fumbled Defence
test, the parasite burrows

ѱ
into the target's face and
lays eggs into the brain stem,
resulting in a painful death
after d6 hours.

This crawling parasite, commonly known

as the ribster, infests corpses to
unlock the secrets of locomotion.

It warps the body, breaking the sternum and

twisting the ribs backwards. The broken bones
become scuttling legs.
Contact with the rotting marrow spreads
the parasite's eggs to scavengers or
unsuspecting humans.

Unless cured, the resulting infection

kills the host within d4+2 days. The
carcass becomes a new crawling parasite.
