Storm-lashed shores, ancient crypts, and war-torn kingdoms await in Echoes From Fomalhaut #09: Beyond the Gates of Sorrow – a 56-page old-school RPG zine packed with adventures and GM-friendly content for Advanced OSR systems.

This issue delivers a rich variety of material to inspire wilderness exploration, dungeon delving, and world-building:

• Beyond the Gates of Sorrow – Shipwrecked on a remote northern archipelago seemingly devoid of life, adventurers must explore the rocky isles, uncover their mysteries, and maybe even make a profit. A wilderness and mini-dungeon module for levels 2–4, featuring 19 wilderness and 18 dungeon keyed locations.

• The Twelve Kingdoms – A player-facing gazetteer of a rugged northern region fractured by petty feudal rule and surrounded by dangerous seas. This article details local customs, landscapes, and deities – perfect for grounding your players in a grim and flavor-rich setting.

• The Vaults of Volokarnos – Orcs are prowling the site of an ancient patrician burial complex, and the local authorities want them gone… quietly. A dungeon adventure for 1st-level characters with 52 keyed areas, combining political intrigue, tomb-robbing, and old-fashioned dungeon crawling.

• Arak Brannia – A two-page mini-setting exploring the island-republic and its surrounding territories, ideal for quick-start campaigns or inserting into your existing world.

• Bonus Maps – Includes two hex map sheets for the Twelve Kingdoms, usable as player handouts or campaign reference tools.

Featuring evocative cover art by Graphite Prime, and interior illustrations by Vincentas Saladis, Cameron Hawkey, Denis McCarthy, Stefan B. Poag, and The Dead Victorians, this issue is a visual and imaginative feast – a true OSR gem.
