Something is stirring in the Borderlands... Armed with a missive from the Bishopric of Durham empowering them to investigate the calls for help emerging from a village in the Borderlands our team of investigators join forces with a cast of characters from the road to help rid the settlement of whatever evil has befouled it. They soon discover it is much worse than the priest reported... will you prevail?

Blasphemers in the Borderlands' is the opening scenario of 'Unholy Marvels: The Seven Trials of the Guardians of the North' campaign, the debut collaboration for Dicelings, our new collective working in conjunction with the History and Games Lab at The University of Edinburgh, producing fantasy/horror tinged adventures based on actual medieval textual sources and archaeological evidence and their studies to delight and bedevil in equal measure!

Please join us in playtesting this scenario, helping guide us in developing our campaign of medieval malevolent, murder, mayhem and more...
