Dive into the shadowed depths of esoteric knowledge with Memento Mori: Ex Velum, a captivating expansion for the folk-horror roleplaying game Memento Mori, set in the plague-ravaged Europe of 1347. This 150+ page hardcover compendium, presented in a compact A5 format, unveils secrets too dangerous and powerful for the Drifters—plague-stricken wanderers teetering between humanity and monstrosity.
Ex Velum (meaning "From the Veil" in Latin) lifts the curtain on forbidden lore, offering players and Narrators a trove of mystical tools to enrich their campaigns. Discover rules for integrating the Arca Fati tarot deck into your games, unleashing unpredictable narrative twists and deepening the Drifters’ connection to the supernatural. Explore the Bestiarium Perduto, a collection of lost and terrifying creatures from beyond the Veil, alongside the Legends of the Ephemeral Lands, weaving tales of fleeting realms steeped in mystery. The included Grimoire brims with magical artifacts and rituals, empowering Drifters to wield arcane forces—at a perilous cost to their dwindling humanity.
Crafted with haunting black-and-white illustrations by acclaimed artists like Francesco Biagini and Fabio Porfidia, this book features a canvas-style hardcover, gold-edged pages, and dual ribbon bookmarks for an elegant, immersive experience. Ex Velum is an essential companion for those brave enough to confront the dark wonders of Memento Mori, where every choice draws you closer to your Dream or the abyss.
