This month's EN5ider Magazine is all about after the defeat of the heroes. As civilization falls—or while its remnants try to right themselves anew—great adventure awaits! For there may be reason to harbor hope beyond the world's death throes as in the shadows of villainous triumphs souls brave enough to fight against the inevitable could yet snatch a worthy victory from the jaws of certain doom.




- The End Has Come in an adventure for 4–6 PCs of 8th level as they bear witness to the failure of champions and try to salvage something from abject defeat in the wake of an emerging god.
- The Raiment of the Devouring King summoned this terrible avatar, the potent artifacts gathered together by the cannibalistic occult-obsessed Society of Tasteful Friends.
- Survivors of all kinds are Crawling From Civilization's Wreckage, mostly monsters but a few clever folk devising remarkable enchanted trinkets with the anxious gift of Improvised Artifice.
- Those not yet ready for such a daunting fate might fare better in the Iron Hollows and the Runeblight Furnace mini-adventure, putting a stop to terrible destruction by facing it head-on before it's too late.
