Part 4 is almost completely original, as the 1st edition's part 4 "Something Rotten in Kislev" wasn't originally written with the campaign in mind. "The Horned Rat" is written to be an expansion of the original planned module, which involved Skaven trying to blow up or teleport to the moon, and this new module does a good job of exploring that.However, the last part is the most interesting, as the original "Empire in Flames" would end the Empire in a very different place as to how Warhammer Fantasy Battle starts (this campaign is supposed to prelude it). The general timeline;<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Emperor Karl Franz, and his wife to be (Princess of Middenheim) are killed in an assassination attempt.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Crown Prince fails to be elected the new Emperor, is revealed as a mutant, and kills Boris Todbringer (before being killed himself).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The PC are recruited to find the mythical hammer Ghal Maraz before the Empire descends into civil war.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PCs go on a series of missions through the mountains before finding and returning the hammer, as the Empire's civil war begins.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The PCs return the hammer on the eve of a climactic battle, and civil war is averted.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When the new emperor is about to be crowned (I forget this fellow's name), Ghal Maraz attacks the Grand Theologist, revealed to be possessed by a demon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PCs fight demon, save the day and the campaign concludes.</li> </ul>Now, as fun as that all is, I highly doubt that the new Empire in Ruins goes about the events like that! There is of course the entirely new plotline of the Skaven to resolve, a new mastermind behind these events, how Karl Franz probably needs to survive all of this (and Boris Todbringer too), plus rumors of a Greenskin invasion to the south.So I'm very curious how the new campaign compares to the old, whether it hews very close, goes in a completely new direction, or something in-between.</blockquote>
