C ORE P RODUCT

Throughout Lure of Power , reference will be made to the

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Product. This refers to either

the books within the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Box Set

( Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Rulebook, Tome of Adventure , Tome

of Blessings , Tome of Mysteries ) or the Guides ( Player’s Guide , Game

Master’s Guide , Creature’s Guide ).

P UNCHBOARD

The punchboard components should be carefully removed from

the frames. The pieces can be added to your existing supply of

tokens and standups for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay .

S ECRET S OCIETY S HEET

The Old World is ﬁ lled with members-only organisations that vet

aspiring members. Membership structures can be so complicated

and convoluted that it is relatively easy to conceal a society’s darker,

or even profane, practices from the public and, in many cases,

lower members of the organisation. Secret Society sheets are used

to track the depth of any PC who has joined a society’s ranks. See

Chapter 3 of the Book of Pleasure for more information about Secret

Society sheets.

N EW R ULES

In addition to a wealth of new information and background

material on the nobility of the Empire and Ubersreik speciﬁ cally,

as well as Slaanesh and his minions, Lure of Power includes some

new and expanded rules on social encounters and secret societies.

Players and GMs should familiarise themselves with these new

rules before using them in play.

N OBILITY R ULES

Includes new optional rules and content for playing noble charac-

ter. These rules can be found in Chapter 5, starting on page 26 of

this book.

S OCIAL E NCOUNTER R ULES

Includes new optional rules and content for running expanded

social encounters as well as the Duel of Wits. These rules can be

found in Chapter 5, starting on page 32 of this book.

R ETAINER C ARDS

As characters grow in wealth and power, they may ﬁ nd themselves

in a position to acquire a staﬀ of talented and loyal assistants to

attend to the day-to-day business they themselves have neither the

time nor interest to manage. These assistants are known as retain-

ers, and are represented by cards very similar to item cards. See

Chapter 5 of this book for more information about Retainer cards.

S ECRET S OCIETIES R ULES

Includes new rules and content for secret societies as well as their

hidden inner circles. These rules can be found in Chapter 3 of the

Book of Pleasure .

M ARKS OF S LAANESH

The Ruinous Powers may bequeath a special boon upon one of

their followers, a Mark of Chaos. The Mark of Slaanesh and its ef-

fects are discussed on pages 8 and 15 of the Book of Pleasure .

U SING T HE M ATERIALS I NCLUDED

WITH L URE OF P OWER

Lure of Power includes a variety of new cards, sheets, and

components for the Game Master and his players.

N EW C ARDS

The action, location, item, condition, and talent cards can be added

to the other cards of those types and used as needed.

C REATURE C ARDS

Lure of Power includes 17 new creature cards. Full rules for creature

cards can be found in the Creature Guide and abbreviated rules can

be found in Chapter 2 of the Book of Pleasure on page 11 .

S ET I CON

The cards and sheets included with Lure of Power are noted with a

special set icon. This allows you to quickly identify the supplement

materials when sorting, adding, or removing cards from your game.

M UTATION C ARDS

Lure of Power includes 6 new mutation cards. The complete rules

for mutation and corruption can be found in Winds of Magic or

the Game Master’s Guide , available separately. If you are not using

the rules for mutation and corruption, then when an eﬀ ect calls

for a target to suﬀ er corruption, the target should suﬀ er an equal

amount of fatigue and stress instead.

C HAPTER O NE

N OBILITY IN THE E MPIRE

The Empire is a federation of independent states – often called

provinces –governed by hereditary rulers that derive their author-

ity from the founder of the Empire himself – Sigmar Heldenham-

mer. It is from the ranks of these ruling ‘Elector Counts’ that an

Emperor is chosen, an individual fated to lead this conglomeration

of disparate peoples against whatever evils the world may conspire

to inﬂ ict upon it. The Empire is beset by numerous foes, both from

within and without. The mountains teem with savage green-

skin tribes, while the dense forests that swathe much of the land

resound with the atavistic war cries of beastman warherds. Chaos

incursions from the north are a constant threat and the fractious

southern nations of the Old World are rarely at peace with one an-

other for long. Worse still is the threat of internecine war between

the Empire’s own provinces, for each is descended from one of the

ancient tribes of man. Though united by Sigmar so long ago, the

people of each state are proud, and the entire federation has been

plunged into bitter civil war many times over the millennia.

tracts of forested land and divided into bitterly warring tribes. Men

slew one another without reason or remorse, all the while cowering

from the darkness of the forest eaves. Beastmen and other, name-

less things ruled the shadows while orcs and goblins descended

from the mountains to enslave and slaughter at will. A tribe without

a strong ruler could not stand against such dire threats. Before the

coming of Sigmar, the race of men stood ever upon the brink of

extinction.

When Sigmar united the tribes, he laid the foundations of the

system that has endured, in one form or another, to the present day.

Provinces have risen and fallen over the centuries, and new city

states have been born as rural populations ﬂ ocked together into

large settlements, whether to pursue some trade or simply seek pro-

tection from the evils that roam the land. Sigmar himself has been

elevated far beyond the patron of the Empire and is now venerated

as a deity. The rule of the noble classes is enshrined in the tradition

established by their godly ancestor and the tribal chiefs he united.

Knowing that their authority is rooted in the deeds and commands

of a god, the Elector Counts rule over their lands with an iron grip

that has, thus far, at least, kept the darkness at bay.

It is the solemn responsibility of the noble classes of the Empire to

guide the provinces through this age of war. They must lead the

armies of the Empire in times of calamity and govern wisely during

the ﬂ eeting periods of calm. In this, the nobility can trace the roots

of its powers back two and a half millennia and more. Before the

age of the Empire, the men of the west were scattered across vast
