A Shadow Rises Beneath the Empire
‘My Friends in Change, we have sown glorious chaos but to bring the Time of Changes we must act as one under a Champion In Shadows.’
The tectonic shift of the Old World continues in The Horned Rat, the highly anticipated fourth volume of the revised and updated Director’s Cut of the Enemy Within campaign. Universally revered as one of the greatest tabletop roleplaying campaigns ever written, this penultimate chapter thrusts your brave heroes straight into the heart of Middenheim. Following the gripping, political intrigues of Power Behind the Throne, the City of the White Wolf faces an insidious peril.
For months, hidden cults and heretics have hunted your party from the shadows. Now, the tables have turned. The time has come to take the fight directly to the enemy, infiltrating their secret networks and tearing down their organizations from within. But as the Empire's guard drops to celebrate hard-won victories, a terrifying, chittering menace prepares to strike from the damp, forgotten depths beneath their very feet. The Skaven have arrived, and the Under-Empire will stop at nothing to see the surface world crumble.

Game Master's Campaign Tip: The Skaven thrive on paranoia, speed, and overwhelming numbers. When your players descend into Middenheim's undercity, use the environmental hazard rules provided in this toolkit to make the environment itself feel alive and claustrophobic. Let them hear the echoing scratches of claws in the dark just before an ambush to keep tension at an absolute peak!
