Heart: Dagger in the Heart

The first hardback sourcebook for Heart: The City Beneath, featuring a full-length campaign designed to take your gaming group to the Heart itself.

Dagger in the Heart is the first hardback sourcebook for Heart: The City Beneath. This new 144-page release is dripping with evocative prose from author Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, grotesque full-colour illustrations by Sar Cousins, and immersive layout by ENnie award-winning Mina McJanda.

Inside you can find a sandbox adventure that takes Delvers into the deepest recesses of the Heart in search of their destiny. You are caught in the wake of the Delving Machine: a device that bores through rock, blood, bone, space, time and reality, towards the scintillating terror of a crimson eternity.As your journey progresses, you doomed delvers will encounter a trio of antagonists who each seek control of the machine to shape their ideal future: the arms dealer Ptolemy Bay, the aelfir politician Aramos, and The One Who Waits In Ashes, a ragged figure who appears all too familiar. You'll witness the dreadful impact of Zenith abilities – your Zenith abilities – on the places that they journey through. You'll venture via uncanny passages to Summersisle, home of the humans, on the eve of their greatest tragedy. Ultimately, if you survive long enough, you might just stand before the Heart itself…

Dagger in the Heart includes:

• Three major antagonists and their accompanying factions all vying for control in the depths that can be opposed, allied with, or betrayed.
• New Beat sheets designed specifically for Dagger in the Heart, which allow players to chain their fates to the Heart and the Delving Machine.
• Dozens of new creatures and NPCs to encounter, from eccentric Junk Mages to body-snatching insects known as flenslings, and worse horrors besides.
• 40+ new landmarks to explore, overflowing with unique resources, fallouts, and potential plots to ensure every delve is distinct in its own beautiful and horrifying ways.
• 20+ delves ready to use as the connective tissue that pulls your party inexorably towards the bleeding wound at the centre of reality.
