Twelve bodies. One city. And a killer who is only getting started.

In the shadowy streets of Malkovia, people are being murdered.

The victims appear unrelated. The evidence is strange. The authorities have little interest in asking difficult questions.

But someone does.

And when the investigation begins to uncover what is really happening beneath the city, the murders turn out to be only the beginning.

THE MURDERS ARE JUST THE BEGINNING

Your investigation will take you from the streets of Malkovia into its dark underworld — including a dangerous journey through the city's sewers where monsters, criminals, and worse things await.

But the deeper you go, the more you discover that the killings are part of something much larger.

Then the city is attacked.

A catastrophic act of terrorism tears through Malkovia, destroying a huge portion of the city and leaving thousands in danger.

The person responsible for the murders is behind it.

Now the investigation becomes a fight for survival.

FROM MYSTERY TO WAR ZONE

This campaign combines investigation, dungeon crawling, tactical combat, exploration, horror, and an evolving story.

Expect:

⚔️ Frequent combat
🗺️ Large battle maps and tactical encounters
🩸 Gothic horror and body horror
🔎 Murder investigation and mystery
🏚️ Sewer and dungeon exploration
🔥 A catastrophic attack on Malkovia
🚑 Rescue and survival missions
🧛 Vampires, monsters and supernatural threats
🎭 NPCs with their own agendas
☠️ Consequences that can permanently change the city

The campaign isn't simply a series of fights, however.

What you discover matters.

The people you save matter.

And the choices you make as Malkovia falls apart can change what happens next.

WELCOME TO MALKOVIA

The campaign takes place in Etharis, the world of Grim Hollow, in the independent trade city of Malkovia.

The city is a dangerous mixture of wealth, poverty, organized crime, political corruption, supernatural forces and ordinary people trying to survive between them.

You don't need to know Grim Hollow to play.

Everything you need to know about the setting will be introduced during the campaign.
