Knight of the Corpse Trials

An intro to my new adventure - live on itch.io

I made an adventure for Cairn in the Wenderweald: Knight of the Corpse Trials.

It’s nasty, brutal and PWYW on itch.io

Never played Cairn? It’s free to play (but you should buy it)

Here’s a sneak peek

Sir Zebadiah was once a war hero, celebrated for purging witches from the Wenderweald. Now he exhumes his subjects and puts their corpses on trial. His squire begs for intervention before her liege damns the barony entirely.

You're sent to capture Zebadiah alive—but the villagers want him dead, his loyalists stalk the woods, and the dead themselves rise for justice.

Will you bring the heretic to justice or suffer his corpse trials?

What’s inside

• Fully illustrated gothic folk horror quest for Cairn

• Modular timeline and player-driven consequences

• Forest crawl packed with locations and encounters

• Unique village layered with NPC sins and secrets

• Illustrated bestiary with unique monsters

• Dozens of rumors and hooks to investigate

• Escalating tension system
