Metaplot :

Possible villains : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasbert_de_Valle https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Tarente https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_X_de_Laval


An alchemist found "the book" This book explain how to summon demons and gain riches beyond imagination. It also explains where to find the other artifacts. "the book" gave the artifacts to lots fo people, including a noble to whom he gave "the sword" All artifacts bearers should make ritual deathsand ship them to Marseille. If they do that, they receive titles and money, and their artifacts gain power. Why ? He actually only need the dead bodies, but by making them do it in a particular way, he can then blackmail them.

The point being to make the tower of Bones and summon the black plague. They succeed in 1347 The rest of the campaign is to try to kill "the book" and end the plague. The book or the sword is nicknamed "L." and he signs all contracts under this name.


Theplot happens just before the black plague 1347 in Marseille (change the dates and places of all previous scenarios) brough by "marin genois" Explain about Templars disappearing.

"L." know that if he wants to be rich, he has to do an unholy ritual. It has to happen in the cathedral.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasbert_de_Valle wants to become the archdeacon of a united Marseille. "L." Promised him he could get that if he agreed to let his workers burn Marseille's cathedral with a tower of skeletons inside. "L." also gave him an artifact, (the artifact related to the archdeacon (archeveque)


Two artifacts : The Sword "L." and the Crosier The Chastellain is a cousin of a noble in Marseille. That's why he makes a shipment of corpses. He is paid hansomely for it.

"the Book" is an alchemist. He has a book made whose cover is made of bones He manipulates "the sword" and promise him reaches beyond imagination if he accomplishes a ritual. This ritual requires lots of sacrifices and teh construction of a chapel. The aim is to summon the black plague.
