Imperial Gazetteer Must Eat Flesh!
by Kobold Staff
You’re gonna want the lights on for this. The Imperial Gazetteer is here! You won’t ever be the same. (And don’t think death will save you.)
The Imperial Gazetteer is the 4th Edition sourcebook that details the principalities of Morgau and Doresh and the Empire of the Ghouls.
On the surface, who can hope to withstand the undead princes of Morgau and Doresh? The vampires and spectral knights long ago claimed these lands as their own. Underground, the ghouls and their empire march ever onward, devouring all opposition (and some allies).
The Imperial Gazetteer takes you deep within the palatial crypts of realms where even death fears to tread:
- History of the undead nations above and below the earth
- Tons of undying antagonists and allies
- Ghoul PC race
- Underground capital of the Emperor of the Ghouls
- Gods and magic items of the undead
- Surface and underground maps
- More than 30 new monsters!
- …Ghost Knights of Morgau, Cult of the Red Goddess, Baba Yaga & Koschei the Deathless, and so much more!
Those who hesitate are bound to return as undead! So order the pdf version or the print version of Imperial Gazetteer today, and it will be shipped to you immediately.
And for you, our loyal KQ.com readers, a special prize for coming back each day… and for reading to the bottom. Anyone who provides a comment below (and makes sure to fill out the email box) will get a free pdf map of a keep on the Grisal Marches.

Nice! Can always use more undead. Keep the awesome 4E stuff coming!
Ooooo … and free map please!
You had me at “Baba Yaga,” but I’m not one to turn down free maps …
Really glad to see this. Keep up the excellent work (and yes, I too am a sucker for a free map
)
I must say, this sort of surprised me. I’ve regretted not getting involved earlier in your patron projects primarily because of the Empire of the Ghouls.
Thanks for making this available.
Have I told you lately I love you?
Who can resist a free map? Sign me up. Thanks!
Map me up, baby! Map me up!
-Ben.
Looks like a great book. I don’t play 4E but may get this for the fluff. I love the spooky side of D&D.
just ordered the (european) print version. undead realms – which DM worth his salt could resist? (c:{
the only thing I really, really, REALLY don’t like is that it is for 4E. *sigh*
Looks great! I’m assuming the Imperial Gazetteer is a new series, and not part of an existing OD project?
A map? I like maps.
Ghouls as PC races? That is most excellent… Mwahahaha!!!
woohoo free map… map of what…? nevermind, it’s free…
seriously, wish I could afford to pick up the book right now, but until the economic situation improves, I can’t.
Sold. The Empire of Ghouls is just G-R-E-A-T stuff.
Cool! So I guess “Not All Flesh Must Be Eaten” is out as a sequel title?
I was surprised to see that Wolfgang wrote in another thread that if the 4E version did well there could be a 3.5 one. Considering that all the other Zobeck material has been 3.5 I’d think that a 3.5 version would do better than a 4E one. Since I won’t be getting the 4E book, at least I get map.
Quality 4E products like this almost make me wish I would play 4E. Almost.
But I’m gonna get this one anyways.
Man, after Empire of the Ghouls, I might have to pick this up even though it is 4E!
HOW DID I MISS THIS????
I’ve been a pretty loyal customer. I can’t believe I didn’t know this was in the works. SOOOOOOOOOO excited to buy it!
Wow.
Just…
…wow.
Man, if only I had not just forked out money for the Pathfinder Bestiary.
I might have to wait until Wolfgang pays me for my 4e article so I can spend the money buying the Gazetteer
This looks like a pretty sweet product. Going to have to pick it up for inspiration, if nothing else.
Man between 3 OD projects, KQ 11, and this! Where do you find the time? And this would’ve been written while you were working on Halls for 3.5 and 4e too. Just wow. Can’t wait, though I might have to wait at least a little while till that money tree starts bearing fruit…
I just bought this awesome product and will read it on the weekend – happy
You guys always bring out the best stuff. I can’t wait to get my hands on this.
Now where does that come from? I’ll get it at once!
I’ve always wondered how this relates to your empire of ghouls adventure in Dungeon some years ago…..
I’d also love to know how this product (just saw it announced via web and KQ) relates to the older Empire of Ghouls (which I sadly missed).
Gotta have a print version though…
This looks really neat! Great timing, too
Looks great – have ordered print version via Lulu so let’s hope pesky UK postal strike is over soon!
Please hook me up with a map!
This whole project slipped under the radar, and it looks like a great compliment to a previous OD Project.. or an awesome way to get some of that material in 4E.
Please send me that free map!
I (heart) Undead! Can’t wait to read it.
Picked up the .pdf, really great product!
Thanks for the comments, freebie map will be available for you next week.
If anyone does a review of the Imperial Gazetteer (on RPGNow, or Paizo, or whereever), please LET ME KNOW! I’d love to hear what you liked or disliked.
Very cool. I wish it was in OGL/Pathfinder format, but I’m still glad to get the source material!
Nice to see 4e content for Zobeck. Hope to see more of the prior material updated to 4e!
A detail undead empire and it spreads to the surface.
I loved the old Ghoul empire from Dragon and Dungeon, this is just a great update to it. Oh, and a free map, you can not beat free.
Oooooh…. MUST HAVE!
BTW, is there a 3e/Pathfinder version coming?
I sent the map out to everyone, based on the list I made a day ago. I think it includes you Hugo, if not let me know!
There could be a 3E/Pathfinder version coming. Depends on how the 4E one does, and whether I feel like dual-statting everything.
Honestly, I’d rather focus on getting Sunken Empires to be great for Pathfinder than to re-design this one. After Halls, the dual-stat projects aren’t appealing. AND HALLS ISN’T EVEN OVER YET! ARGH!
Greetings from Denmark
I’ve regretted not getting involved in the OD idea since I first read about Empire of the Ghouls. Then I realised I actually didn’t have the money to get involved. But now I finished my masters and got a job (screw you recession!), so now I guess I’m back in the game! (ugh, a pun). I’ll sign up real soon (tomorrow is pay day…) – IF – what you’re doing seems just remotely as cool as Empire
…also – I’m signing up pretty much only for inspiration and fluff, since I only run games very rarely, in my own system, and in my own (low fantasy or Steampunk) campaing world.
But I simply love the idea behind OD and I’ve enjoyed KQ a lot the times I’ve bought it
So when will we see the free maps?
