Spire: Strata sourcebook

• Two new classes: the purple-prose black-magic pulp fiction occultist Inksmith and the multifaceted and fractured Shadow Agent
• Extra advances for any class: such as the flower-skinned Druid of the Living Spire, the muckraking Gazetteer, the sigil-scrawling Children of the Runestack and the language-hunting Lexicutioners
• Ten scenarios (detailed below), allowing you to start a campaign of Spire easier than ever
• More details on the richest and poorest parts of Spire: the shadowed and fecund Garden District, the decrepit grandeur of Ivory Row, the nightmare industrial bowels of the works, the alien luxury of Amaranth, and more
• Beautiful full-page, full-colour artwork from Adrian Stone throughout

The scenarios in Strata are:

• BETTER THE DEVIL by Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor

  An aelfir artisan is surgically modifying drow to act as tormented “masks” – unless you break into her lavish auction and put a stop to it.
• THE FALL OF GLASSHELM by Mary Hamilton and Kira Magrann
  Bring down the Glasshelm corporation, and put a stop to their dreams of bulldozing the undercity to make way for new aelfir housing.

• DARK HARVEST by Chris Farnell
  After a mission goes wrong, the Ministry bundles the players off to the deep farms of La Grotte du Corde – but, of course, nothing is what it seems in this idyllic pastoral village.

Strata requires a copy of the Spire RPG to use the rules and setting within to the best effect.
