Foul Spectres lurk in its depths and enigmatic Ferrymen patrol the byways in search of lost souls. Who knows what else may await in the inky depths below?
- From the Twilight of the Soul
- The Sea of Shadows provides Storytellers with a complete overview of the geography of the Tempest, as well as additional information on storytelling Harrowings. Also included is a complete, ready-to-run adventure centered on the nightmarish realm known as the Sea of Shadows
Introduction
The slick Johnny Liar finds out the hard way the Tempest does not negotiate.
This chapter also contains the purpose of the book, suggestions on how to use it, and the book lexicon.
Chapter One: Within the Soul Dark Sea
How does one travel through the Tempest in the first place? This chapter has the information on the disorienting nature of the Tempest, the benefits of vehicles versus on-foot travel, and the other Dark Kingdoms and special zones that can be found mixed among the storm.
Chapter Two: Riders on the Storm
The terrifying creatures that dwell almost exclusively within the storm that many wraiths who never leave land see are detailed in this chapter, as well as a few wraithly groups that take advantage of the turbulent nature of the Tempest.
Chapter Three: By Darkness Overtaken
Harrowings in great detail, by type, and ways to play them out are the focus of this section; there is more information and suggestions here than in the core book.
Chapter Four: Adrift on the Sea of Shadows
A Tempest-based campaign that pulls in many of the most dangerous aspects of the Tempest.
Appendix: The Ferryman's Sack
Assorted Arcanoi abilities and Artifacts that don't really fit in anywhere else.
