Letters from the Dark Vol. IX: Book of the Dead

Who wants to live forever?

In an unthinkable act of apostasy, three rulers conspired to kill the gods and steal their immortality. The newly ascended lich-pharaohs achieved their goal of eternal reign, but they upset the cycle of life and death in the process.

Overrun by walking corpses, the river-delta peoples of Anhet have retreated to the desert and lost all hope. Only a team of legendary adventurers can delve into the lich-pharaohs’ tombs, slay their occupants, and secure a new future for the world of the living.
