Collector's Arcana: The Duchy of Ten continues the Blackmoor campaign series. It contains both a 48 page booklet
and a fold-out poster map. The third panel of the cover contains a Players Handout page, and thought it is not perforated, it is sometimes detached.
Description (From the back cover)
The Well of Souls . . . That's what Zugzul bade the Afridhi call the evil artifact that he had taught them to make.
They must call it the Well of Souls and they must carry it before them into every battle - and they would be mighty.
Thus said the god of the Afridhi, Zugzul the One.
So the Afridhi did as they were bade. Seeking the volcano called the Hilll of the Hammer in the far Barrens of Karsh, they
built in its heart a great forge. There, as Zugzul had promised, efreet came to help them make the mighty artifact.
There amid vile, unholy rites, they bound the souls of men into its very
substance, and, as it took shape, they sharpened their swords for the red-handed work that must surely follow hard upon its completion./p>
Many were the men who guarded the Hill of the Hammer during the days of making - for their foes in hated Blackmoor would try to unmake that which they had wrought. Yet, it was not men that would keep the Well of Souls from destruction, but a
prophecy - that the artifact would be unmade only by the hand of one as yet unborn!
