Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight

Light the lantern. Lock the doors. Whatever whispers from the darkness, do not answer.

Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight is a horror-themed supplement for Daggerheart, packed with new character options, unsettling communities, terrifying creatures, and complete Campaign Frames designed to bring folk horror, gothic dread, supernatural mystery, and cosmic terror to your table.

Beyond the safety of the lantern’s glow lie haunted roads, restless dead, forgotten bargains, cursed bloodlines, impossible creatures, and powers that were never meant to be understood. Here, heroes are not defined by their distance from the darkness, but by what they choose to do after the darkness has touched them.

Create an Exorcist who stands between the living and the spirits that would consume them, or a Soulbinder. Transform familiar classes with horror-inspired subclasses that embrace forbidden music, monstrous transformations, psychic corruption, gravebound resilience, eldritch power, and more.

Step into the world as one of five strange new ancestries, including Gourdlings, Skeletons, Spiritfolk, Stitchkin, and Tsukumogami, or explore three new communities shaped by the supernatural: the festive and eerie Hallowborne, the omen-haunted Curseborne, and the secretive Occultborne.

For Game Masters, Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight includes four complete Campaign Frames, each offering a distinct approach to horror:

1. The Gourdgrave — Grief and vengeance awaken a harvest devil that hunts those named guilty.
2. The Thorn Tithe — Dark faerie bargains, true names, and the Midnight Ride threaten to carry another mortal into the Below.
3. The Wickerfield — A starving community clings to terrible traditions while something ancient waits among the fields.
4. Strange Lights Over Divgorod — Beneath an impossible green comet, a black-powder frontier collapses into mutation, paranoia, ancient powers, and cosmic horror.

Each Campaign Frame provides the foundation for an entire story while leaving room for your table to make it their own, with themes, player and GM principles, NPCs, locations, mysteries, unique campaign mechanics, adversaries, environments, and threats ready to unleash.

Whether you want to build a character who carries the darkness with them, add a single horrifying mystery to an ongoing campaign, or plunge your entire table into a world of curses, monsters, and terrible choices, Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight gives you the tools to step beyond the flame.

The lantern is lit.

The shadows are waiting.

Will you answer the whisper?
