Lair of the Zo’hamir
Plunge into the domain of a flesh-eating threat in the new thrilling OSR adventure for Blood Engine.
Terror grips a desert village. Locals and passing merchants have mysteriously vanished, swallowed by the shifting sands of the surrounding wasteland. Desperate and with nowhere else to turn, the survivors pool their resources to offer a substantial reward to any band of adventurers brave enough to uncover the source of the menace—and bold enough to confront it.
An ancient evil stirs beneath the ever-changing dunes and the blistering sun that cracks lips and sears skin. Hidden in the depths of the earth, a primal force is ready to erupt in violence so overwhelming that the surface dwellers can barely fathom it.
The Zo’Hamir are preparing a glorious plan for their people—one that, in just six months, could irreversibly reshape the world.
A World-Breaking Challenge Awaits
Lair of the Zo’Hamir is an adventure for the Blood Engine RPG system, designed to immerse your party in 3–4 thrilling sessions of danger, horror, and survival. This module introduces the titular Zo’Hamir for the first time: a tribe of entropic lizardfolk obsessed with the triumph of the strongest and the unstoppable force of evolution.
Explore the harsh desert, following the bloodied trails left by those responsible for brutal massacres of humans and animals alike. Descend into the hidden Domain of the Zo’Hamir to uncover the terrifying reasons behind their bloodlust—only to find yourself trembling when the truth is revealed. A world-shattering cataclysm looms on the horizon, and only you—mere adventurers—stand in its way. Whether you succeed or warn those with greater power is up to you.
A Gritty, Unforgiving Adventure
Lair of the Zo’Hamir embraces the post-TSR OSR style where discretion is the better part of valor, and the only good fight is the one fought dirty. Expect to face unique monsters, outwit traps set by instinctual hunters, and get your hands filthy as you delve into a dungeon where every room could be your last.
Encounter the utterly alien mindset of the Zo’Hamir and witness horrors that will make your teeth chatter—assuming you still have teeth when it’s all over.
Should you survive the Lair, your choices will shape the future. Will you be hailed as the saviors of the village? Or will you herald a cataclysm that could wipe humanity from these lands?
