Ritual of Binding

This is a new stage of the post-game sequence that is unique to this campaign. The new post-game sequence will proceed as follows:
1. Injuries
2. Experience
3. Exploration
4. Ritual of Binding (new)
5. Trading
6. Update warband rating
7. Read Epilogue (also new)

After exploration and before trading, players will proceed to the Ritual of Binding, the process by which the Priests of Morr will bind the souls of the dead to the mortal realm long enough to usher them back to the land of the dead, as detailed by the vision of Morr. The process involves players secretly bidding a number of earned wyrdstone shards. Players may freely discuss how much they wish to bid, but none may reveal their bid ahead of time. Once all have made their secret bids, all bids are revealed simultaneously, with the winner being the player who has bid the most. If two or more players are tied for the most, all tied players are considered the winner and may reap the rewards. Losers keep the shards they bid, while winners do not.

ritual rewards

If you bid the most during the Ritual of Binding, your devotion to the cause has earned the approval of Morr. Your Priest of Morr is entitled to a reward as a token of your ongoing efforts to deliver the lost souls to their final resting place.

Roll on the following table to see which of your Priest’s characteristics is increased. Priests of Morr use the human racial maximums. If a you roll a result that is already at the maximum, you may pick any other result.
1. +1 WS
2. +1 Strength
3. +1 Toughness
4. +1 Wound
5. +1 Initiative
6. +1 Attack

The winners during the ritual also receive 1 Secret of Vantor, which is explained below.

Secrets of Vantor

Throughout the campaign, there will be opportunities for Priests of Morr to earn Secrets of Vantor. These are clues as to what is really happening within the walls of Mordheim. Secrets of Vantor will play a crucial role in the final scenario.

earning secrets

These secrets are not easily come by, and chasing them might put the entire warband at risk. There are a few ways to earn Secrets of Vantor:

• Scenario tasks: These will be detailed in each scenario
• Winning bid during the Ritual of Binding
• Priest going out of action: See the Priest of Morr profile

Mark down on the warband roster how many Secrets of Vantor your warband possesses as you progress through the campaign, perhaps in the stored equipment section.

secrets for exploration

These secrets can also be used during exploration to re-roll exploration dice. For each Secret you spend, you may reroll 1 die, but each die may only be re-rolled in this way once. Spent secrets are erased from the roster.
