Royal Beastflayers
Released: May 2023, Nightmare Quest boxed set.
You might just need to be mad to set foot in the Ravening Ruin. Luckily for the Royal Beastflayers, their sense of reason has been eroded by the contagious influence of atavistic vampires. This gaggle of cannibal ghouls are unified in their delusion – convinced that they are a delegation of noble knights and squires, hunting fell beasts with loyal hounds by their side, even as they bludgeon their foes to death to a chorus of incoherent, guttural howls.
Lured to the Gnarlwood by a Realmshaper Engine that an errant Flaymaster believed to be a clutch of loathsome dragons about to hatch, the Royal Beastflayers are just one such questing band of fiends that range across the land undertaking expeditions at the behest of their vampiric monarchs.
