The Ring of Seven Terrors is a multi-player role-playing module written by Graeme Davis and illustrated by Dave Pearson. It was published in 1986 in Warlock issue 9 by Games Workshop. It has not been reprinted since.

Creation[]

Background[]

In the lands through which you have been travelling for the last few days, you have begun to hear of a series of legends about a long-dead ruler called the Hunched King. There are many stories, and the legend grows more lurid and self-contradictory the more you hear.

All the stories you have heard seem to agree on one thing – the Hunched King was a sorcerer of immense power, and he took a great treasure with him to his tomb, where he lies under the protection of ancient and terrible guardians.

Further Notes[]

  • Translated into Japanese as 七つの恐怖の環 in issue 18 of the Japanese version of Warlock (ウォーロック).
  • The Atlas of Titan speculates that this adventure may take place in "the mysterious land of Shabak, which is mostly flatland. An alternative location could be the area of grassland west of the city of Agra and south of the Silur-Cha Swamplands, about which nothing has ever been written."[3]
