The Acclaimed codex of Gods
and Divine ORDERS Returns!

Remastered for 5th Edition!

The Book of the Righteous returns! This classic sourcebook presents a comprehensive treatment
of gods, religions, and pantheons for fantasy roleplaying. The new edition brings back
its epic, original mythology, along with rules updated for 5th Edition gaming.

The Book of the Righteous includes the following:

• A vast, integrated mythology designed for the needs of fantasy games, from
the creation of the universe to hints at its apocalyptic destiny, suited to most
traditional fantasy campaigns.

• 5th Edition rules for new and expanded divine powers, clerical domains, and
other abilities for divinely-powered heroes.

• New rules that provide faith-driven advantages to characters beyond just the
clerics of the gods, from the warrior-monks of Terak to the arcane hierophants
of Tinel.

• More than 20 churches to meet the needs of fantasy games, serving gods of
justice, war, magic, death and more—and even churches who serve the entire
pantheon, easily usable as the default clerical churches in your campaign.

• Holy orders, holidays, dogma, and prayers, to bring religion into everyday life.

• A complete cosmology, with legendary roles for fantasy races and well-known
monsters.

• A treatment of evil gods that goes beyond dark lands and black helmets, to
provide ways in which the forces of evil can infiltrate even good societies.

• Story hooks throughout: prophecies, lost artifacts, and unsolved mysteries
buried in mythic lore.

• Advice for using churches and myths in this book, creating nonhuman religions, and dealing
with alignment, dogma and morality.

The Book of the Righteous’ gods and legends aren’t tied to a single fantasy world, and have been designed to be plugged into your
fantasy campaign. Use it as is, or take the elements you need to fill in a character, place, or culture. Each god and religion has been
designed in a modular fashion, so that you can customize them as much or as little as you like.

Open The Book of the Righteous,
and bring the gods to your world!

THE CITY IS
CALLED REDOUBT...
AND AS FAR AS
ANYONE KNOWS,
IT IS THE LAST.

Seven decades ago, there were cities upon cities; kingdoms
and nations, the remains of ancient empire. Cultures at war,
cultures at trade. Humans, dwarves, elves, and others. Magic
and monsters, rare but real. Regions of desolation, but
also regions of plenty. And so it was for millennia,
through two dynamic ages the lorekeepers and scribes
called Ascensions.
Until the world ended. Most call it the Fall, but whatever
term a given people choose to use, it marked the point
where everything changed. Nations crumbled. Races
died. Magic sputtered. Nature sickened.

THE DEAD WOKE

Welcome to the first anthology set in the death-ravaged world of The
Lost Citadel™. In Tales of the Lost Citadel, you’ll find 14 flights of
dark speculation on the nature and people of the last city of Redoubt,
courtesy of some of the finest writers working in fantasy and horror
today. Come inside these dwarf-built walls and hear their tales.
Come, be haunted by a bone-shaker’s daughter, a dark dressmaker,
and a Forerunner; a Corpseman of the Undertaking, a desolate widow,
and a witch of the wood. Introduced by editor and world-builder C.A.
Suleiman, these stories combine to paint a portrait of a dark fantasy world unlike any other — one
where all that’s left of civilization has come together in a struggle to survive…

Seven decades
ago, there were
cities upon cities,
kingdoms and
nations. Cultures
at war and at trade.
Humans, dwarves,
elves,and others.
So it remained for
millennia, through two
vibrant ages called ascensions.

Until the world ended.
Nations crumbled. Magic sputtered.
Nature sickened. Civilizations died.

The dead woke.

THE CITY IS
CALLED REDOUBT...

Some say the doors to the Underworld flew from their hinges. Others
believe that the god of the dead went mad. Whatever the cause, across
the lands of Zileska, the dead have become the Dead. Whether human,
elf, dwarf, or monstrous ghûl, all must survive the horror of this world
overrun by death, where all that’s left of civilization has gathered
behind the walls of the world’s last bastion of the living…

The city of Redoubt.

The Lost Citadel is a transmedia setting that exists simultaneously as
gaming, art, fiction, music, and more. The Lost Citadel Roleplaying is
Green Ronin’s full-faith effort to bring the world of The Lost Citadel into
the newest edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game.
Welcome to a dark fantasy gaming experience unlike any other.
Welcome to The Lost Citadel Roleplaying.

... AND IT IS THE LAST

In this setting, you play one of the only remaining souls alive after an undead apocalypse has brought
civilization to a dark and bloody end. This beautifully illustrated game book provides everything you’ll
need to experience The Lost Citadel through the lens of the world’s most popular roleplaying game.

Inside this book, you’ll find:

• The once-proud history, races, religions, and cultures of the world of Zileska. And how they Fell.

• Detailed coverage of the inner workings, factions, politics, and geographical locations of
the Last City. Each district comes with its own Adventure Hooks sidebar.

• New classes, feats, items, and rules for use with 5th Edition, including a new sub-system called Woe.

• A host of new undead with which to test your characters’ wits and will. Will they face down the
horror of a grim aggregate, the terror of a forlorn child, or even the power of a mighty Malevolent, itself?

• A full-color, 15” x 22” double-sided poster map of Redoubt and its surrounds, courtesy of gifted cartographers
Andrew Law and Jared Blando.

• Original fiction by award-winning dark fantasist Elizabeth Hand.

Will you pledge yourself to the noted foresters and venture bravely beyond the safety of the city walls? Would you risk an outbreak just to improve your
station in a society run entirely by the privileged elite? What mark will you leave on a world that may be spooling out its final hours? The answers lie within.
