## Plot

Moon Knight attacks the crime family led by Hammerhead. Moon Knight claims to know of a weapons trade deal between Hammerhead and Raul Bushman, and demands Hammerhead to give up Raul's location. Hammerhead doesn't give up the information, so Moon Knight has to beat it out of him.

Back at his apartment, the man under the Moon Knight mask, Marc Spector, is having his wounds tended to by his friend, 'Frenchie'. Frenchie informs Marc that his ex, Marlene, has been trying to get in contact with him. Marc ignores her attempts, blaming her for the way their relationship ended.

Flashback to two years earlier. Marc, Frenchie and Marlene are in a helicopter alongside Raul Bushman, Marlene's father Peter, and several other men joining them on a mission. They've been tasked by an unknown benefactor to collect research from an Egyptian temple. Marc feels very uncomfortable about the situation, largely because of Raul's chaotic nature.

Back in the current day, Marc is visited by his friend Bertrand Crawley. Bertrand gathers information from people on the street about criminal whereabouts, although this time he has no such information to share. Much like Frenchie, he tries convincing Marc to reconnect with Marlene, and tells him that she's been trying to get in touch. Marc continues to ignore this topic, instead wishing to focus his time and energy on tracking down Bushman.

Returning to the flashbacks two years prior, Marc walks into the temple to find that Raul had killed Marlene's father, Peter. Raul and his men had found an abundance of gold in the temple, which would provide them with a lot more money than they were being paid for this job. Marc tries to get vengeance for Peter, and kill Raul. However, things don't go to plan as Raul wins the fight, and kills Marc.

The deceased Marc awakens in a non-physical form, being greeted by the Egyptian god, Khonshu. Khonshu says that this is his temple, and he needs someone to act as his soldier. On the promise that Marc can get revenge on Bushman, Marc accepts the offer. He is revived, and granted new abilities, allowing him to become - Moon Knight.

Shar

**Shar**, the **Mistress of the Night**, was the chaotic evil goddess of darkness and the caverns of Aletrias. Counterpart to her twin Selûne, she presided over caverns, darkness, dungeons, forgetfulness, loss, night, secrets, and the Underdark. Among her array of twisted powers was the ability to see everything that lay or happened in the dark. Shar's symbol was a black disk with a deep purple border. Titles afforded to her included **The Nightsister, The Veilweaver** and the **Shadowcaster.** Spiders were her favoured creatures.

*"Blessed Nightsinger, witness our adoration. See how we serve you, only you. We have emptied our hearts of falsehoods. We have vanquished your foes. In darkness, we see your truth. Embrace us, your loyal warriors. Cloak us in your shadow. Guide us to your victory. Shar's will shall be done. As sure as night will fall.*”

— Shadowheart's prayer to Shar

## Divine Realm

Shar's realm was the Shadowfell, a dark mirror to the Feywild. A bleak and desolate place, it was to a remote corner of the realm that Barovia vanished in 187 of the Fourth Age after Erebus Krais made a vow with the dark powers to become the first true vampire.

## Description

It is said, long ago that Shar and Selune were the ‘Sisters-Who-Were-One’. Two aspects conjoined, but by her nature, Shar could not be contained. An agent of lies and trickery Shar is able to topple empires with words and drives even the most learned sages to madness. Empress of the Shadowfell, Shar appears to mortals as whatever they most desire, for her art is to bend shadow to her will and cloak herself in ambition and desire. Formless and in all darkness she is immensely powerful and despises her sister.

## Worshipers

*Main article: Cult of Shar*
The clergy of Shar were a secretive organization that pursued subversive tactics rather than direct confrontation with its rivals. In addition to her clerics, Shar maintained an elite order of sorcerer monks who could tap Shar's Shadow Weave.

## Plot

*Spoiler warning.*

Shang-Chi is working as a bartender in New York, alongside his best friend, Katy. They have a lot of fun together, often joking around, but Katy knows that Shang is wasting his potential by working there. She believes that he could make it far as a martial artist, after seeing him in combat. Shang doesn't feel the same way, due to the nature of his skills.

Katy visits their boss, Vincent, in his office, to relay a message. When she arrives, she is told off by Vincent, and forced to leave. By listening in, she learns that Vincent is in a meeting with some very dangerous people, who are demanding protection money out of him. The group's leader, Douglas Scott, a.k.a. the Razor-Fist, threatens Vincent with violence, before threatening to come back and beat him continuously until Vincent pays up. In a panic, Katy returns to Shang and tells him what happened. The reckless Shang rushes after the men, following them all the way to their base.

Once at Razor-Fist's base of operations, Shang begins stealthily eliminating multiple henchmen, until finally coming face-to-face with Razor-Fist. Following an intense battle, Razor-Fist calls Shang-Chi by his name, much to Shang's surprise. Razor-Fist claims that his boss has been very observant of Shang, and will be coming for him very soon.

Harmonic Convergence

From the elvish text of the same name, this almost mythical event brought Aletrias and indeed the world to the brink of destruction. It is an accepted truth that in prior ages the gods were numerous and enjoyed great power, they roamed the material plane and many were their interactions with the fledgling mortal races. It was a time of gods, monsters and the forging of the continents. Then one day a dark terror fell from the distant stars and changed everything. The Calamity, a force so powerful the gods themselves were left helpless by its power. For an enemy they scarcely understood, the gods reacted in different ways. Some fought, others hid and more beside begun to seek ways to seek peace between all. Yet in the wake of the calamity there could be no peace. It was single minded, seeking only en end to all life. And so, with little choice in the face of oblivion the multitudes of life, both divine and otherwise banded together and an alliance was formed to combat this great foe.

The Calamity was legion, a seemingly endless stream of power decimating all who opposed it, gods that had shaped the planes of existence fell besides mortals that had lived only a handful of years. It seemed desolation was inevitable.

When all hope seemed lost only eight gods remained and much of the mortal world had been decimated. On the verge of oblivion, Bahamut, dragon king, saw through what the great darkness had brought, a union, between ancient foes, bitter enemies and eternal rivals. He saw the enmities of the past set aside and a spirit of cooperation inconceivable until this great end faced all life. It was in this moment he let out his legendary '*thunder call*';

> *When the black breath blows*
>
>
>
>
>
>

> *And deaths shadow grows*
>
>
>
>
>
>

> *And all lights pass*
>
>
>
>
>
>

> *Come brother*
>
>
>
>
>
>

> *Come sister*
>
>
>
>
>
>

> *Life to the dying*
>
>
>
>
>
>

> *In mortal hands lying!*
>
>
>
>
>
>

Fear had seized the fractured survivors but in that moment the courage of Bahamut shone brightly, yet the first to answer his call was no god, but a mortal.

A single elf walked forward and side by side the two charged the darkness that was at the precipice of completing its task. Bolstered by this sight the rest of the living struck forth and somehow beat back the dark.

In time the elf would become known as the Silent King, a hero of unmatched renown who would go on to shape much of the new world.

Much of the truth of Harmonic Convergence is lost to mortal history, in the wake of so much destruction it is clear a period of rebuilding that would last an age took place but it was not without its own strife. It was due to this that the surviving gods retreated from the material plane and established much of the cosmology of the multiverse we understand today.
Marc Spector (Earth-V616)

**Marc Spector** is a former soldier-for-hire, and is now the vigilante known as **Moon Knight**.

## History

### Origins

Marc Spector was hired by an unknown benefactor to go on a mission to Egypt. Accompanied by his friend Frenchie, researchers Marlene and Peter Alraune, and mercenary Raul Bushman and his men, they were tasked with collecting research from an ancient temple. Marc was uncomfortable with the situation due to Raul's chaotic nature.

Throughout the mission, Marc entered the temple to find that Raul had killed Peter. Raul claimed that the temple had an abundance of gold, which would earn them a lot more money than what they were being paid for the job. Marc tried to get vengeance for Peter, but was defeated in battle by Raul, and promptly murdered.

In death, Marc is visited by the Egyptian god Khonshu. Khonshu says that this is his temple, and he needs someone to act as his soldier. On the promise that Marc can get revenge on Bushman, Marc accepts the offer. He is revived, and granted new abilities, allowing him to become - Moon Knight.

### Road to Urban Myth

In the two years following the Egypt incident, Marc began using his new abilities to go after organised crime. He began hunting Raul Bushman, and even started a relationship with Marlene.

Some time within those two years, Marlene broke off her relationship with Marc, leaving him distraught.

### Urban Myth

Two years later, Marc is still on the hunt for Raul Bushman. His hunt leads him to various places and people, such as Wilson Fisk, the Roxxon Corporation, and Hammerhead. Meanwhile, Marlene is constantly trying to get back in touch with Marc, even through relayed messages by Marc's friends Frenchie and Bertrand, but Marc is always quick to ignore her requests, rather wishing to focus his time and energy on finding Bushman.

Water as currency

*He who controls the water, controls QUD.*

In QUD, fresh water is the primary currency used in trading due to it's incredible scarcity. Fresh water has a significant weight associated with it. Each 10 drams (10ml) is equivalent to 1 dollar in Savage Worlds. So conversion is relatively easy.

*Humans need to drink at least 500 drams of water to survive everyday, meaning you lose ~50$ a day to live.*

Erebus Krais

A man of noble birth, Krais spent much of his life serving causes of goodness and law, most notably as a warrior and leader of armies. Years of such service took their toll upon him however, and by the time he reached middle age, Krais came to believe he had squandered his life and his youth. With this dark mood upon him, he came to conquer the region known as Barovia, and assumed lordship there, building as the seat of his power the castle Ravenloft. From this position of power and security, he called for members of his family "long unseated from their ancestral thrones" to join him, including a younger brother named Sergei.

Some time after this reunion, the Count himself fell in love with a young Barovian woman, Tatyana, though she rejected his affections in favor of the younger Sergei. Filled with despair and jealousy, and brooding a growing hatred for Sergei, Krais sought magical means to restore his youth. In a moment of desperate frustration, he "made a pact with death - a pact of blood." On the day of Sergei and Tatyana's wedding, Krais murdered his brother and pursued the grieving Tatyana until she flung herself from the walls of Ravenloft. Krais himself was shot down by the arrows of the castle guard. Even so, he did not die, but went on to rule the land of Barovia as a  vampire.

Upon this transformation the entire country vanished from Aletrias, claiming all within who were presumed lost. Over time, strange sightings of a sinister mist where once the country stood drew scholars, adventurers and fortune seekers in, all mysteriously vanishing and never to be seen again. This cycle continued for centuries until just as suddenly as it had disappeared, the entire country formed once more. It was revealed that in making his pact, Erebus had doomed the country to existence within a demi-plane where it had had remained until a band of adventurers broke the cycle, defeating Erebus Krais and the entity that possessed him and freeing the cursed land.
