• Encountering Draugr Deathlords
• A Draugr Deathlord is a fearsome foe. Both skilled at martial
• combat and with the use of the Thu’um, a Deathlord is not
• easily bested. Combined with their ability to muster Draugr to
• give them bonus attacks, makes fighting a Deathlord in their
• home turf an absolutely brutal fight. Characters hunting a
• Draugr Deathlord should take special care to separate him from
• their retinue, or have a way to quickly deal with them or the
• Deathlord will overwhelm them with volume of attacks.
• The Deathlord has 4 AP, meaning they have a LOT of potential
• attacks and defenses, and combined with their Slow Time shout,
• a Deathlord is more than a match for a party of adventurers.
• Draugr Deathlords are often found in the deepest part of their
• ruins, often accompanying or protecting the sarcophagus of
• their Dragon Priest master, if they have one. Some more ambi-
• tious Deathlords occasionally attack settlements, but this hasn’t
• happened in a long time. Because Deathlords are so often on
• the defensive, they have time to plot out elaborate and cruel
• defensive strategies, and have often designed their sanctums to
• be “kill rooms,” built for the explicit purpose of absolutely
• halting any invading forces with extreme force.
• Loot
• • A group of Draugr often carry treasures worth a number of
• rolls on the Treasure Table determined by the GM.
• • A character can harvest a Draugr’s tongue, which is a Common
• Destruction ingredient.
• Dragon Priest
• Of all the mortals within the Dragon Cult, the Dragon Priests were
• undeniably the greatest followers. Trained intensely in the ways of
• their Masters, with the strongest even earning sacred masks filled
• with power and status, Dragon Priests are the deadliest creatures
• within the Nordic Ruins.
