Genius Loci: Monstrous Pages Supplement
Genius Loci: Monstrous Pages for Shadow of the Demon Lord RPG
Ancient lore calls them genies, once powerful entities of imagination and creation, now reduced to insubstantial remnants of their former selves, doomed to pass the eons until the end of time as mad, raving things. Their very acts of creation at the dawn of time eventually become their undoing, shattering their minds and obliterating their senses of identity, leaving them forever lost in delusion and paranoia.
Genius Loci examines the origins of the genies, their significant role in the creation of reality and the multiverse, and their present, deplorable state. Like all entries into the Monstrous Pages series, the aim of this supplement is to add depth and character to iconic creatures from Shadow of the Demon Lord to help you develop them more fully as part of your game.
Armed with the contents of Genius Loci, you can bring these esoteric beings to life as allies or, more likely, as deadly enemies!

In the northern reaches of the Confederacy of the Nine Cities sits Lij, the legendary City of Wonder. What began as a haven for exiles and freethinkers from across Rûl has become one of the greatest bastions of the occult in the known world, with alchemists, artificers, engineers, and wizards rivaled only by the Tower Arcane itself—and perhaps not even that any longer, with the decline and degradation of the Empire.
We Are Legion delves into the bizarre, mysterious creatures known as the broodlings. These Monstrous Pages shed light on their vast and ancient conspiracy to dominate and destroy humankind. We Are Legion provides you with all the tools you need to make broodlings the central adversaries in an adventure or an entire campaign. The following pages chronicle their history, their bizarre insectoid sentience, their grotesque reproduction cycle, as well as outline their inscrutable schemes. There are also rules to customize broodlings with specific details to suit your game.
Oddities, Artifacts, and Esoterica: Poisoned Pages for Shadow of the Demon Lord
Those who live beyond civilization’s bounds face a daily, brutal struggle just to survive the hazards and horrors of the vast wilderness they call home. In the rolling hills and deep forests where few willingly tread, one can find all manner of hungry, violent things: from rabid animals and brutish beastmen to ravenous ogres and other terrible monsters who defy description. While the constant press of both danger and isolation often drives ordinary folks to dark and brutal acts to ensure they live to see another day, none of what these people might do comes close to the horrific deeds carried out by the two clans living in the Lonely Vale.
An unexplained series of mishaps and accidents have beset the good people of Bricksburg. Missing children and livestock, spoiled milk swirled with blood, stillborn calves, and other calamities have dogged the community for weeks, and the trouble seems to be getting worse. Some believe the town has been cursed, attracted malevolent spirits, or has somehow angered the small gods of the nearby hills. No one knows for certain and panic has started to tighten its grip on the hearts and minds of the townspeople. Something must be done, but no one has the courage to confront the evil lurking in their midst.
The time for battle is now! Monsters tumble out of the dark, wicked drow hatch vile plots, demons eager to invade the Material Plane clamor at the edges of reality, and bizarre aberrations pursue mad agendas that will plunge the world and all the planes into chaos. The people need champions to throw back the darkness, to take the fight to the dread enemies, and thwart their evil designs. While adventurers of all kinds answer the call to battle, from courageous fighters to cunning rogues, fell wizards and wise clerics, they aren’t the only ones capable of taking a brave stand. Joining them is a new breed of warrior: those brilliant tacticians and inspiring leaders known as warlords. These battle-hardened champions lead the charge into combat and through their insights, tricks, and stratagems, they enable all who fight at their sides to achieve their full potential and triumph in the face of any adversity.
