 nhallowed is an introductory adventure
designed to give both players and GMs a
chance to experience Warhammer 40,000
Roleplay: Wrath & Glory roleplaying.
This adventure is written from the perspective that
the characters are an Imperial warband sponsored by
Rogue Trade Jakel Varonius (see sidebar). It is their
task to gain the support of Baron Zoras for Rogue
Trade Varonius and determine what has become of
Sister. If the players’ warband is made up of non-
Imperial characters the Game Master must make
adjustments to many of the read-aloud sections of the
adventures to make them a better fit.

OVERVIEW
Unhallowed is an adventure suitable for Wrath &
Glory characters from Tier 3. Characters from higher
Tiers may find the difficulties of this adventure too
easy and the opponents lacking any challenge while
characters of a lower tier may not be able to stand up
to the challenges here in.
Before the adventure starts Baron Zoras, a noble
man fell to the predations of Tzeentch in his most
vulnerable moments. When his lands were failing
he gave his soul to Tzeentch in exchange for secrets
to revitalize his lands and the continued vitality his
ailing family.
With this new profane knowledge the Baron has
drained the vital essences of many of his servants to
revitalize his lands. He has perverted the sanctity of
the High Harvest festival for his own vitality and this
year he will corrupt his daughter Endentrics’ soul in
exchange for her bodily health.
Much of this was put in danger when Sister Alliya
came to discuss the Rogue Trader with the Baron
and she learned of the Baron’s corruption. She was
captured and the Baron plans to use her vital essence
to invigorate his daughter during the High Harvest
festival.
ADVENTURE
SUMMARY
In Act I: The Hidden Estate the characters are given
instructions to plead the case of Jakel Varonius to
Baron Zoras while enquiring the whereabouts of Sister
Alliya. They may explore the grounds of the Zoras
estate and begin to put the pieces together of the
Baron’s household. They likely meet Endentrics Lucia,
the Baron’s daughter and are attacked by combat
servitors.
In Act II: A House in Disorder the characters explore
the manor house itself, further gaining damning
evidence. They may meet Manix, head of servants
who can give more detailed evidence of the Baron’s
corruption by Chaos forces.
In Act III: The Cimeterium all evidence points to
vile rituals held in the name of the High Harvest at
the pavilion in the cimeterium. There Baron Zoras
attempts to sacrifice Sister Alliya, stealing her essence
in the name of his daughter Endentrics, to give her
everlasting life and vitality.
THE WORLD
OF OSTIA
Ostia is an Agri-World of green and ochre coloured
fields. The harvest-world is a vital component of
Imperial life in the Gilead system. To protect the bread
basket of the system the Astra Militarum has set its
seat of power among the Crown of Blades, a series of
kill-satellites, hardened stations, and orbital defence
platforms that surround the planet.
ROGUE TRADER
JAKEL VARONIUS
The Gilead System lies on the border of
the Segmentum Solar and the Segmentum
Obscurus. It is a cluster of worlds isolated
within the Dark Imperium, cut off from
Imperial reinforcements and astropathic
messages, and left to fend largely for itself
against myriad threats. A glimmer of hope
arrived in the form of a fleet of ships belonging
to a charismatic and influential Rogue Trader—
Jakel Varonius.
Varonius and his flotilla accomplished a feat
considered nigh impossible: crossing the Great
Rift from the Imperium Sanctus to the other
side. Many claim that only great fortune and
the presence of an ancient, highly skilled
Navigator of House Omincara aboard his
flagship—the grand cruiser Ducal Circlet—
could explain such a miraculous event.
Upon his arrival, Jakel Varonius engaged with
the rulers of the system as a peer. His fleet,
his Warrant of Trade, and the weight of House
Omincara’s alliance provided him with enough
authority to assume a prominent role in the
system’s governance. Ever since, the Rogue
Trader has used several warbands of agents to
intervene in any situation that might affect the
welfare of the Gilead System.
 ACT 1: THE HIDDEN ESTATE
The adventure starts as the characters rocket
down to Ostia’s surface. Begin by reading aloud or
paraphrasing the following:
‘You are all aboard an aquilla lander over a planet
known as Ostia, an Agri-world of green and ochre
coloured fields. Your destination is the estate of Baron
Zoras, a local lord who controls vast farmlands on
Ostia. A couple of weeks ago Sister Alliya of the
Adeptus Sororitas was sent planet side to secure
support for Rogue Trader Jakel Varonius’ coalition,
but she has not reported back. Her last known
destination was Baron Zoras’ estate and it is under
Jakel Varonius’ authority that you travel here in
search of the Sister.
The aquilla lander sets down on a broad, well
maintained, landing pad on the ground level of a
vast palatial manor home of Baron Zoras. The estate
is massive with a huge manor with east and west
wings, a nearby massive riding arena, a private
hangar, a small lake and dock house, and sculptured
gardens. The scent of blossoms and incense waft from
the gardens as the lander’s gangplank lowers.’
At the foot of the gangplank await a bevy of servants
in livery of the Zoras family, crimson and gold colours
with the image of a rose and an ear of wheat crossed.
One member of the greeting party stands out, a
stone-faced muscular gene-bulked man carrying what
appears to be a rifle covered in a black silk shroud.
The man looks for the character with the highest
natural authority in the group and introduces himself
to them as High Lifeward Wiston (see the Dramatis
Personae section for more details on Wiston).
The Lifeward insists that the Baron is not seeing
anyone today, however; a successful Challenging
(DN 5) Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion Test
convinces Wiston to take the characters to see the
Baron’s daughter, who is available, in the garden. At a
failed test Wiston insists that the baron is unavailable,
but he will search for someone else to meet with them
and asks the characters to wait at the landing pad. He
leaves with the other servants. Should the characters
demand hospitality Wiston commands a servant to
show the characters to the garden for refreshments.
From the landing pad the characters can see the
manor house, riding arena, private hangar, and the
lake and dock house. The characters likely have
enough time to quickly investigate one location before
High Lifeward Wiston returns. Should the characters
investigate more than one location Wiston along with
3 house guards come looking for them.
No matter where they’re encountered all servants
are covered in robes with the Zoras family crest and
gloves with house livery. Interestingly, they all have
mirrored face masks.
RIDING ARENA
This massive arena is a riding area and stable for
the Baron’s Ostian Riding Pronghorn. Several stable
hands are working here when the characters enter. A
successful Standard (DC 3) Deception, Intimidation,
or Persuasion test convinces the stable hands to leave
the characters alone. Questioning the stable hands
requires a Challenging (DN 5) Deception, Intimidation,
or Persuasion test for them to reveal that a woman
named Alliya was held here for a couple of weeks. A
further Challenging (DN 5) Awareness test reveals
that one of the closed in stalls shows evidence that
someone has been living in it. Spending Wrath or
shifting success for more information or a follow-up
Standard Investigation or Awareness test could reveal:
That she was only recently removed from the stall.
Written in High-Gothic under the bed are several
choice verses of the Imperial Creed. Verses of
particular import to the Adeptus Sororitas.
PRIVATE HANGAR
The Baron’s private hangar holds several vehicles,
from ground transports to light aircraft along with
several tractors. No one is currently in the hangars.
A successful Challenging (DN 5) Awareness,
Investigation, or Tech test reveals evidence that
another ship was here, but it was dismantled.
LAKE AND DOCK
HOUSE
This expansive dock house holds several boats
that the Baron and his family use on the lake. A
successful Challenging (DN 5) Awareness test reveals
a seemingly cluttered, but otherwise unused room
in the dock house. Inside the cluttered room full of
crates, boxes, and cloth covered furniture a successful
Difficult (DN 7) Investigation Test finds the following
clues:
Waxy residue can been seen on the floor and
candles recently used with strange markings carved
into them are found. Spending Wrath, shifting
successes for more information, or a successful
Challenging (DN 5) Scholar test reveals that the
marking are heretical and that they are bound to a
cult of Tzeentch
 Ritual components that that would spoil over time
are still useful, indicating recent use.
There does not appear to be a lot of paraphernalia
here. Spending a Wrath, shifting successes for
more information, or a successful Difficulty (DN 5)
Scholar or Investigation Test reveals that there are
few items in a large box, indicating there used to
be more. There is some incense but no censer or
similar device.
A successful Standard (DN 3) Medicae test reveals
that Endentrics suffers from a wasting malady. If
questioned about her illness, she turns and her face
becomes very serious. She replies that “she is going to
be better very soon".
Garden Ambush
Baron Zoras has been planning the revitalization
ritual for his daughter for too long to have the

SCULPTED GARDENS characters mess it up. Once alerted to their presence

Decadent topiaries in exotic beast shapes, burbling
fountains, fragrant flowers, and crescent shaped
marble benches mark this as an expensive, well-
manicured garden. The gardens surround the
sprawling mansion and seem exquisitely maintained.
Hedges of a vibrant red plant surround the mansion.
A successful Standard (DN 3) Scholar test reveals that
the hedges are called bloodleaf plants. Their leaves
are pretty but conceal poisonous thorns. Should
a character move through, fall, or be pushed into
the bloodleaf hedges they must make a successful
Standard Toughness test or suffer 1 mortal wound and
become restrained.
Servants scurry around the gardens, pruning the
hedges and otherwise preparing for some kind of
event. Several have nets to clean pools while others
hang lights on trees.
he sends his servitors to kill the characters, with
specific instructions not to harm his daughter. After
the characters speak with Endentrics for a few
moments the nearby servants move to ambush the
characters.
Characters must succeed on a Challenging (DN 5)
Awareness test to see the 3 Combat Servitors (blades/
saws do 9+1ED Damage instead of 9+2ED) move
before they wreak havoc. Those that succeed notice
that the servants are looking at the group, using
power shears or saw blades and seem to have a
hostile focus. Characters who do not succeed on the
Awareness test are surprised and attacks against them
in the first round of combat are Surprise attacks (the
attacker gains a +2d bonus to the attack roll and +1
bonus dice to damage).
As the servants attack, Endentrics is terrified and
surprised. She immediately goes into shock, unable to
act on her own.

A small garden house hidden behind some hedges

(Standard DN 3 Awareness Test to discover) contains
gardening tools. In addition, several vials of dark red/
brown liquid sit next to a pot with a vibrant purple
flower within. Next to the pot is an empty vial. The
potting soil is moist. A Difficult (DN 5) Medicae
Test reveals that the liquid is blood and other vital
essences of a human.

Endentrics Lucia
If the characters are brought here by Wiston,
the baron’s daughter Endentrics Lucia, is here
commanding servants, making preparations for a
celebration. Endentrics is a young woman wearing
a gorgeous gown, lace gloves, and a jade comb in
her long black locks. She has obvious cybernetics
with cables and implants in back of her skull. She is
unhealthy. Her too thin skin appears waxy, like she
probably should be in a sick bed. Despite her skin, she
has a bright smile.

Endentrics is curious about the worlds beyond Ostia

and questions them about their experiences off world.

SPENDING WRATH
If a characters wishes to spend a gained Wrath
Point as a result of their Awareness test they
could notice the following:
A glimpse of power sheers dropping and
hands open up to show cybernetic blades
or saw weapons
Cog bits, cybernetic components, oil, saw
blades
These are not just servants, but servitors
apparently.
After the Ambush
Endentrics snaps out of her shock. If asked she
truthfully knows nothing about the attacks and says
the nearest safe place is her chambers or the house
librarium. Wiston, the Baron’s High Lifeward likely
in the Observatorium upstairs. If asked about Wiston,
Endentrics replies, “he would do anything for my
father”. A successful Standard (DN 3) Insight test
determines that she’s telling the truth, but there’s
something more there. Endentrics knows that Wiston
would do anything to be a part of the High Harvest
“celebrations”.
After a few moments when there is no security
response to the attempted assassination of the group
and resulting fight, Endentrics asks, “where are my
bodyguards?”
Examining the servitors with a successful Standard
(DN 3) Investigation test reveals the flesh of servitors
is strange and some are rotting while others have
strange lesions and boils. Removing the mask is a
grotesque horrified face, peeling from irradiation. It
seemingly shows signs of outward corruption at near
mutant levels. It’s eccentric to cover servitors in robes
and masks.
If asked about the event that the servants are
preparing for Endentrics answers, “High Harvest Day,
the festivities can’t come soon enough!” High Harvest
celebration is happening tonight. It will be Lucia’s first
opportunity to participate as an adult in this annual
celebration.
 ACT 2: A HOUSE IN DISORDER
THE MANSION
The interior of the house is ostentatiously filled with
off world luxuries. Fine paintings line the walls
including people with a faint resemblance to Lucia.
All of the paintings are of healthy people dressed
extravagantly all looking in the bloom of youth and
vitality. Small cherubim tiny servitors in the form of
flying baby’s with metal skulls & wings fly about.
Speakers play soft hymns to the emperor.
Atrium (Foyer), Dining
Hall, Sitting Rooms
There is little information to be gathered in these
rooms, however; numerous servants move about in
preparation for the High Harvest. Moving furniture
there and there and fastidiously cleaning. All of the
servants have mirrored faces.

The manor level consists of atrium, dining hall, cloak

room, sitting rooms, conservatorium, and librarium. A
grand spiral staircase leads upstairs from the atrium
Conservantorium
to the second floor which includes the Observatorium,
tablinum, and cublicum chambers. Stairs from a Off the southern end of the house the conservatorium
sitting room lead down to the wine cellar. The manor seems mostly untended. Where once vivid Ostian

servants hallways stairs and or a lift lead down to the
basement rooms, including the communication relays,
house kitchens, servants’ quarters, servitorium, and
wine cellar.
At some point during the investigation in the house
a servant comes by with tray of finger cakes and tries
to slip something to one of the characters unseen.
The servant fumble the hand off and it’s up to the
character to cover. A Standard (DN 3) Agility Test
cover for the servant. A failed test may result in
the house guards killing the servant outright if the
characters don’t intervene.

Either way the character see the notes which reads

“Meet us in the librarium - M”
Librarium
The Librarium is full of books data slates and scrolls.
High above six stuffed winged raptors hang in mock
flight and a candelabra of human skulls reveal a
very macabre setting. Browsing the books and scrolls
uncovers books on agriculture, medicine, anatomy,
and chemistry. One wall is a large rack of often used
scrolls.
Within the scrolls are survey notes, architectural
blueprints, in depth look at the mansions construction
as it relates to astrological phenomena and weather
patterns along with even shadows caused by
adornments outside of the house relating all to
ritualization. The many scrolls, books, and data
slates likely invite investigation. A Standard (DN 3)
Investigation check reveals:
High Harvest requires a sacrifice, the idea of
growth and renewal are prevalent.
There are several images of Lucia, looking more
vibrant than she does now. There are dates
indicating her birthday and corresponding exact
times, later today. This year is the renewal of Lucia.
Manix
If the characters are meeting Manix here, the servant
is here. He is moon faced and squints to see Lucia,
she runs to him.
Manix is concerned about the family and the Baron.
He reveals the following with little prodding:
High Harvest is centred on Lucia
Servants have gone missing and come back
different like slaves, mindless. (This is a result of
having their essences drained and injected into
either the Baron or the crops)
High Harvest is something very dark to turn her
like him, very dangerous and ruthless.
After a great drought, when the fields were dry and
the herds dehydrated for some time, the Baron left
for years and came back changed.
Since then the fields and herds have come back,
more vibrant than ever.
Sister Alliya came to the estate. Manix alerted her
to his suspicions, but no one is sure where she is.
She was led to the Baron’s chambers by Manix
himself but she has been missing since.
High Harvest is at a pavilion near family cemetery
and takes place at Sundown.
THE SECOND FLOOR
The second floor includes the Observatorium,
tablinum, and cublicum chambers.
Tablinium (Study)
Atop the grand staircase hallways lead either way, in
the centre stand ironbound doors engraved with the
Zoras family crest. Wiston and several bodyguards
stand outside the door. Wiston says Baron is not
there at the time, though he’s supposed to protect
Endentrics since some of the servitors seemed to have
gone rogue. He says the Baron will see them after
High Harvest celebration and not before. Wiston is
willing to let the party use a communication relay
to speak to the baron if intimidated, the relay is
downstairs in the Communications Relay room in the
basement.
Baron Zoras manages his vast estate and farms
from this room. A small logic engine sits on a desk
as well as a data slate. A successful Standard (DN
3) Investigation or Tech test reveals that the Baron
contracted a company to destroy a medium sized
lander.
Observatorium
This room is large and has a glass domed ceiling. A
large map of the stars covers one wall. The centre of
the room is dominated by an ornate orrery of the local
star system. A 3 metre tall telescope is mounted to
the floor. Star maps, sun and moon charts, and other
related imagery cover the surfaces. A Standard (DN3)
Scholar Test reveals that much of this knowledge is for
the purposes of agriculture; however, shifting further
successes indicate that today is the High Harvest
and at sundown, in just a short amount of time, the
moons, planets, and sun will be in an astrologically
significant alignment. Regardless of successes the
characters find a map of the family cimeterium with
astrological symbols writ around a central pavilion.
Lucia’s Cubiculum
(Chambers)
Lucia’s chambers are filled with paintings of Ostian
Sabretooth Vulpines. A stuffed head is mounted
on the wall and a rug made from the skin of one of
the large beasts lays across the middle of the room.
Before she was afflicted with the wasting disease she
dreamed of hunting the large predators to keep them
away from her family’s herds. Lucia’s prized lasgun
rests on wall mount, complete with preysense sights.
Master Cubiculum
(Chambers)
These chambers are locked. The door handles are
fitted with a gene-grip bio-veritor, ensuring that
only Baron Zoras or his wife can enter the room. A
Challenging (DN 7) Tech Test is needed to enter the
room.
Inside the Baron’s cubiculum a number of things
become readily apparent.
Blood and other fluids fill vial after vial along the
walls in refrigerated racks.
Medicae injectors layabout, some with spent vials
of blood in them.
Heretical books on soul vitality through blood
sacrifice as well as prayer books to Tzeentch.
Journals indicating that the High Harvest is used
as a cover to perform profane rituals to Tzeentch,
ensuring the youthful vitality of the adult family
members though the sacrifice of vibrant captives.
THE BASEMENT
In basement level downstairs from the manor level
you see a wine cellar, kitchen, servants’ quarters, a
guard’s room, and a communications relay. Some of
the servants are humans such as the chambermaids
of Lucia, the head cook, and Manix the head of the
servants.
If the characters are being escorted by Wiston and 3
guards to the comm relay room, Wiston pulls aside
Endentrics as the guards attempt to incapacitate the
characters before they can use the relay.
Communication Relay
A cogitator array and vox relay fill this small room,
attended by a servitor. A successful Standard (DN 3)
Tech test bypasses the servitor and reveals that Sister
Alliya attempted to make contact with Astra Militarum
forces, but the transmission was blocked
Guard’s Room
A small set of room given to the house guards is here.
The rooms are where the guards clean their weapons
and repair their clothing and armour or relax. Several
guards are here at all times. The guards are better
trained than the servants a Challenging (DN 7)
Deception or Persuasion roll is required to get them to
talk. Any attempts at Intimidation leads to a conflict
with 3 house guards. Should the skill tests succeed or
the house guards be beat, they’ll reveal the following:
A woman matching the description of Sister Alliya
was here a couple of weeks ago. One of the stable
hands reveals that until recently she was kept in a
walled stable, but was removed today.
The house guards are afraid of the Baron. He’s
seen as a changed man since he came back from
his journey.
High Harvest ceremonies happen at sundown
in the pavilion in the family cimeterium, but the
house guards are not allowed to attend, except
High Lifeward Wiston.
Searching the room thoroughly reveals the broken
down pieces of a bolter, not a standard weapons for
house guards. A Standard (DN 3) Scholar Test reveals
the bolter is a Godwyn-De‘az Pattern Bolter, the
preferred bolter of the Adeptus Sororitas.
Kitchen
Common workers busily prepare meals for dozens of
people for the High Harvest festival. Manix, the head
of house can often be found here. If questioned Manix
covertly invites the characters to meet to discuss more
in the librarium.
Servant’s Quarters
The quarters for the houses servants is a hive of
chambers and passages below ground. A Difficult (DN
5) Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion Test can
convince any of the servants to talk. They know the
following:
A woman matching the description of Sister Alliya
was here a couple of weeks ago. One of the stable
hands reveals that until recently she was kept in a
walled stable, but was removed today.
The following can be learned with shifted successes
or by spending Wrath: The servants are afraid
of the Baron. He’s seen as an evil man, and high
Harvest ceremonies happen at sundown in the
pavilion in the family cimeterium, but servants are
not allowed to attend.
Servitorium
An old servitor busily repairs other servitors in this
repair shop. A Standard (DN 3) Tech Test reveals that
several servitors were recently repaired due to heavy
damage from a bolter weapon. By looking at the
servitor scrap, an Investigation or Ballistics Skill Test
based on Intelligence instead of Agility at a Difficult
(DN 5) reveals that the servitors were destroyed by a
Godwyn-De’az Pattern Bolter, the preferred bolter of
the Adeptus Sororitas.

Wine Cellar
A multitude of fine Ostian vintages line the walls here.
Aged Enochian Whiskey sits in a number of barrels. A
Challenging (DN 7) Awareness Test indicates the one
particular bottle of wine has little dust on it. Pulling it
reveals a hidden doorway behind a rack of wines.

Beyond the doorway is a storage room full of the

Zoras family’s history. Standing out, however; is a full
set of heavily damaged, unusable, Sororitas Power
Armour.

The first time Baron Zoras is injured it is a

The effects of fear may be removed by a Leadership
test (see Leadership on page 165 of the Wrath & Glory
Core Rulebook). Remember, whenever a player fails a
Fear test, the GM gains 1 Ruin.

Baron.

wasting malady may yet live with the help of the
Varonius Dynasty’s wealth and medicae knowledge.
She will pledge her support to the Rogue Trader for

corruption of Tzeentch.
It is likely too late for Wiston Omnigran, but should
he live and a character wish to mister to him he may
be pulled from the forces of Chaos and remains a loyal
servant to Endentrics.
 DRAMATIS PERSONAE
This section presents the background information and
roleplay notes for a few NPCs who play major parts in ENDENTRICS LUCIA
this adventure.

Endentrics Lucia is the daughter of the Baron Alton

SISTER ALLIYA
ERENOSIS
A member of the Order of the Sacred Rose, Sister
Alliya Erenosis has steadfastly served the Varonius
dynasty since their ships were cut off from the rest
of the Imperium.
The Sister is resolute in her duties and beliefs.
If saved from Baron Zoras she’ll no doubt make a
steadfast ally of the characters’ warband.
Zoras. Once a young noble full of vitality and vigour,
she hunted the great Ostian Sabretooth Vulpine in
defence of her family’s herds. However, fate struck
Endentrics with a wasting malady. Since contracting
the malady she has not left her family’s estate. Where
once she travelled to nearby worlds and moons, now
she is cloistered within her family home. She misses
the outside world and is eager to learn about their
goings on from others.

BARON ALTON ZORAS MANIX USTAFALIS

Alton Zoras is the picture of nobility. Slight portliness
reminds others of his wealth. His wheat colored hair is
fine and flows int the slightest breeze. He looks to be
in the prime of his life.
Baron Zoras was once a loyal Imperial citizen, using
his position and wealth for the good of the system.
However, when a particularly savage drought caused
many of his fields to dry up and herds to perish,
starving people, he became despondent. Wandering
into the wilds his damaged psyche left him open to the
predations of daemons. In exchange for healthy crops
and everlasting health for his family he gave himself
over to Tzeentch.
Manix Ustafalis is an ageing man. He’s been a loyal
servant of the Zoras family. He is a pious man and
has seen the marks of corruption upon the household
and wishes to see them cleansed.
A bald pate marks the stresses Manix has gone
through as head of servants for the Zoras family.
While not fully aware of the depths of his master’s
depravity, Manix has witnessed some Zoras servants
personalities deteriorate while in their employ.

To bestow the blessings of Tzeentch upon his

daughter and others they must make the required
COMBAT SERVITOR
obeisance via dark rituals to their new masters.

Zoras family for some time. However, after seeing
the devastation of the drought and having to kill
citizens as they panicked over food his spirit was
broken. When the Baron returned with the secrets of
everlasting life and the ability to revitalize his lands
he gave himself to Tzeentch as well. The promise of
long life and health have been teased to Wiston by
the Baron and Wiston is willing to do anything to get
them.
