Waterdeep: Dragon Heist - Infernal Contract

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.99

**Contains spoilers for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist - DO NOT READ IF PLAYER**

Waterdhavian nobles are known for their cunning and shrewd business acumen, but none have risen quite so quickly as the Cassalanters. 

Three years before the events of W:DH, Victoro and Ammalia Cassalanter struck a deal with Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Hells and in doing so they traded away the souls of their children to escape financial ruin. 

In the private study of Lady Cassalanter stands an infernal tome, the Red Grimoire, whose dark secrets are revealed using the only currency that truly matters - blood. This document is designed to be found either within the study or in the book itself and serves as a visual handout for players. 

The document is useful for both DMs and players, which offers:

  • Fully illustrated in color
  • Infernal Symbology & Fonts
  • Sufficiently formal legal jargon in keeping with Infernal lore
  • Not date specific, to allow for maximum flexibility for DMs
  • Adds further information to flesh out the everyday machinations and ambitions of the Cassalanters
  • Includes printer-friendly version without background texture

Where did that text around the borders come from? My Latin is good enough to know it's not a generic Lorem Ipsum. It appears to be some kind of infernal liturgy? My googling isn't turning up any singular source text, and some of these words appear to be unattested in Tufts's Perseus corpus, e.g. "volorem" for "that which is desired." In a couple places I'm having trouble identifying the word breaks, too. Did you come up with this yourself?

(To be clear, I'm not asking where the font/cipher came from. I already know its dark source well, having first stumbled across it as a child while abandoned among ancient ruins to wait for a ride. Though curiosity may tempt you to acquire this deeply cursed knowledge, dear reader, heed my warning: seek not the secrets of the temple of Mara! Her eye is forbidden! Merely typing the name of this script's eldritch originator can cause a web platform to tremble and quake. Tempt not the fiendish lackeys of the all-seeing rodent!)

Hi Brody, with profound apologies, this was a 15-minute handout I made 4 years ago and the old grey cells are not what they used to be. I suspect I wrote it myself, then shoved it into an online translator to give me very bad Latin. The gist of it was to state that the contract was binding in accordance with primordial law (neither good nor evil, but an essential function of lawful existence).

Hi there! I love the product, I'm just wondering if its possible to get access to a wordpad or otherwise text version so I might make amendments for my own campaign? Thanks!

Hi Timothy,

I bought this, and its great! But I realized it needs a small change to fit into my campaign. Do you still have the originals? Could I get a rewording?

I purchased this and love it. Is it possible to get the text so that I can make some modifications for my specific campaign?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
