T HERE WILL COME A RECKONING

There Will Come a Reckoning

Like the High Plains drifters of old, some folks have to walk alone. That’s

you, Marshal. This book is full of dark secrets and dirty tricks fit only

for a Marshal’s eyes.

If you’ve been paying attention—and you’ve read the Player’s Guide, which

is recommended—you might have figured out that things started going

wrong with a capital W around 1863. That’s both true and false. The

fact is that supernatural evil has been around a whole lot longer.

head manitous in charge—dwell, and feast

upon the heaped helpings of fear delivered by

the manitous. At the moment, the most pow-

erful of these spirits are the Reckoners, and all

the others are forced to make do with scraps

from their spiritual table.

The manitous don’t know much about their

mysterious masters, only that the Reckoners

horde the fear they deliver to the Deadlands.

Most of the fear is consumed by the Reckoners

or set aside for some unholy purpose, but some

small sparks are granted to the manitous. The

manitous then use these seeds to create more

abominations according to the Reckoners’

whims, and the abominations, in turn, create

more fear to feed the Reckoners.

It’s an ongoing, vicious circle with razor-

sharp teeth, and it’s been going on since the

dawn of time. The Reckoners aren’t the only

beings to prey on humanity in this fashion, but

once they took control of the Deadlands they

ThE ORdER Of ThingS

Since man has walked the Earth, there have

been monsters hiding in the shadows. All cul-

tures have their bogeymen, their spooks, and

monsters that frighten children and adults

alike. Collectively, they’re called “abomina-

tions,” and they are very real.

Abominations dwell in the physical world.

In the spirit world—the Indians call them

the Hunting Grounds, and so do we—nature

spirits and manitous are more common.

Nature spirits are generally good or at least

neutral toward the affairs of man. Manitous

are downright evil.

Manitous drain fear and other negative

emotions the abominations spawn, and chan-

nel them back to a special place in the Hunting

Grounds called the Deadlands. There, incred-

ibly powerful and evil spirits—basically the

D EADLANDS M ARSHAL ’ S H ANDBOOK

got it down to an art form. It didn’t take long

for things to get out of hand. Whole societies

lived in fear, feeding the Reckoners’ unholy

appetites. The future was looking pretty grim

for the human race, right up until the end of

the Middle Ages.

Though not everyone believes Christian

doctrine, the Reckoners ultimately became

powerful enough to muscle out the rest of their

dark compatriots. They now have irst crack

at any fear the manitous deliver, whether it

comes from Christians, Muslims, Jews, or

anyone else.

Who Are the Reckoners?

The Reckoners are not the irst evil gods of

the Hunting Grounds. Indeed, the Deadlands

are ruled by a hierarchy of evil spirits—the

Reckoners just happen to be the most power-

ful at the moment. They were once relatively

minor powers in the Deadlands, but they

hitched their evil little wagons to a movement

called Christianity a couple thousand years

ago.

As the new religion gained momentum,

the Reckoners remade themselves as the Four

Horsemen of the Apocalypse. This allowed

them to focus the fear of millions of people

on a fairly small cadre of evil entities, where

previously folks’ fear went to feed a rogues’

gallery of malicious gods.

ThE Old OnES

That’s when the Old Ones—the elder

medicine men of the various Indian tribes in

the American East—called a council deep in

the mountains of New England. There, they

discussed the state of the Earth and the increas-

ing number of horrors that walked upon their

sacred lands.

The Old Ones knew there was no way to

banish all evil from the land at once. The

abominations would have to be faced by the

valiant, and defeated one at a time. If the man-

itous were gone, however, it would ensure far

fewer new abominations would be born.
