The Scarlet Coral Citadel: a grim nautical dungeon delve for Pirate Borg
Designed by Alexander Jatscha-Zelt of Golem Productions under third-party license for the Pirate Borg tabletop RPG, The Scarlet Coral Citadel is a 24-page nautical adventure module presented in a collector zine format. Rising from the coastal currents of the Dark Caribbean, this towering monolith was spawned when Netherworld necrotic energies mutated ocean coral into an immense fortress of pulsing, living red flesh. Blending visceral body horror, cosmic dread, and the high-lethality ethos of Mörk Borg, this scenario tempts your crew with false promises of eternal life. The module features:
- A non-linear point-crawl layout through nine keyed chambers carved straight into corrupted coral flesh.
- Striking art-punk illustrations in a vivid red-and-black aesthetic true to the Pirate Borg atmosphere.
- A high-tension three-way standoff between crazed cultists, deep-sea horrors, and submerged undead.
Netherworld corruption, a new player class, and eldritch relics
This adventure booklet provides referees with rich tools to run a tense expedition through the reef's interior:
- The Red Coral Addict player class: Portray a desperate pirate who consumes the fleshy pulp of the reef to unleash supernatural surges, courting deadly permanent mutations.
- Nightmare aquatic bestiary: Challenge players with bespoke monsters including necrotic Coral Wraiths, animated limestone golems, and aquatic Deep One hybrids.
- Nine procedural tables: Fuel your table with random encounters, erratic tide surges, grotesque physical mutations, and weird nautical relics hauled from the deep.
Who is this descent into the Pirate Borg depths built for?
The Scarlet Coral Citadel is tailored for referees and adventuring parties seeking a lethal, atmospheric, and unforgettable nautical horror crawl. Perfectly structured for one or two high-intensity standalone sessions or as a cursed pitstop within an ongoing ocean campaign, this sea delve forces pirates to gamble with their sanity and mortal flesh. It is an essential zine for any crew willing to face watery damnation to plunder the sunken treasures of a corrupted living reef.
