AS WE DESCEND
As a kid, I’d ask my brother for his D&D handbook pretty often
just to stare at the arts, sketching every little item. The inventory
pages with all the different shop items and weapons and armor
always entranced me for hours on end. Those big diagrams of
pencil-sketched items were the earliest things I can remember
wanting to draw, and scribbling away on a piece of notebook
paper.
I first started reading KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS when I was
a sophomore in high-school back 2018- around Christmas I
believe. I was a mess. Dysphoria was kicking in hard and I
struggled just to speak to friends. Book 3 was what really dragged
me in, the way Allison struggled with different parts of herself,
and the way she finally conquered in the end was to come together
wholly and love herself, even every little bit she hated. I think I’ve
basically been following Tom’s work near-religiously since that
day, to be honest. He was one of my biggest art inspirations, and
was a massive influence on my style. In a way, I guess this whole
project is a love letter to his work. Just like how that dumb 3rd
edition handbook taught me how to draw, KSBD taught it to me
all over again.
I started this project, officially, on January 4th, 2024. Since then,
I’ve been making this entire document from scratch- tweaking and
adjusting systems and making art from sunrise to sundown.
Maleghast has been an incredible inspiration since its release, first
leading me to making the necromancers who launched me into the
community, and now trying my hand into the rules space. This
PDF has haunted me for the better part of a month and I hope the
two three four weeks of hyper-fixated effort have been worth it. As
I’m writing this now, it is 5:06 AM, and I have spent the last 8
hours going back and tweaking everything.
If you enjoy any part of this document- the art, the writing,
anything in the slightest, please follow my art blog on tumblr.
There will be more to come. This will not be my only foray into
the tabletop, or into Maleghast for that matter. Tabletop is my
dream, and I want to keep doing this for as long as I can. I quit my
job to draw and write, so hopefully it works out okay fdsjgkndf.
This document is free and will always remain free.
I hope that this long effort has been worth it. Thank you for
downloading. Give them hell.

S ince the first sin, the divide of necromancers into various houses has been
MANIFESTO OF THE LOWER HOUSES

commonplace. A consolidation of pacts, beliefs, and general methods is what defined you as a
necromancer within the eternal factionalism that has divided the black arts since the dawn of history.
The term "Great House" has been used to describe those as the top of the food-chain; Vast tracts of
land, milk and honey boundless, vast armies of the damned, or merely with a tight lock over a great
and terrible secret power. The authority they command is absolute, their abyssal glory is everlasting,
and their rivalries bloody. To hold the position of great house is to be constantly watching your back.
Your position is never, ever, secure. Throughout the boundless history of death, Great Houses have
come and gone like the dust they animate, and the void they leave behind is quick to be filled by a
rising star, or swallowed by a rival postponing their own execution date.
There are many, many, many lesser houses within Anzenmezzeron alone- far too many, some argue-
and equally as many reason for aspiring necromancers to join them. A mere stepping-stone in their
rise to power, a bounce-back after being rejected from the higher houses, or simple disagreements with
the greater authority. The power of great houses is, truly, oft exaggerated, and leaves much to be
desired. We are all mortal, even if we try to tell ourselves this city doesn't let us die. After all, what is a
greater house anyway, if not an old dog waiting for it's days to end? As with all things in
Anzenmezzeron, the holders of power will waste away to nothing- not just dethroned, but buried down
below the surface to fester and haunt the layers above in name but never presence. Everyone knows
there will always be an empty throne- forgotten by history, trod into the soil, stunted into a fraction of
their former power. A position will open eventually. Rivalries will flare. Territory will be lost. A new
king will rise.

T ill then, it's just a short step to hell.

Apöstexx
The inverted tower Supreme Lebab scrapes from the
bottom of Anzenmezzeron, marking the first point that
the charnel city shall make contact directly with Hell.
From this great spiraling tower, the Apöstexx
necromancers utilize their connection to the hell below
to form pacts with the ease any other necromancer
would have with merely raising the dead. Each Pitlord
of the great tower swells with Devil contracts, their
strained form bearing the curses and blessings of hell.
The great cost of their power is far outweighed by their
newfound strength.
The ranks of the house Apöstexx are lined with
beggars and wishers, looking for a way out of
their situations. Mere fodder, a scant few may
survive to raise the ranks. Maybe.

opposites of each other. A unit with at least one Ritual

after this unit is hit or grazed. A unit with at least one
Pact token gets +1D to their attacks and discards one
after it attacks. They are both positive.

The taste was so bitter-sweet.
The old noble lay dead at your feet- not just dead, but erased. His spot among the black
thrones above is empty now. You have become king.
It tastes so bitter.
They look at you, standing their, robes stained black in blood. You are all covered in his black.
Their eyes are foreign and strange.
Once so close and merry at the table, but now with nothing but hunger.
You have eaten your fill and there is nothing left.
Hail you, the king.
