THE SHIVERING UNBALANCE
Journey to Nyyrrkhaldt
PRE-ORDER
A MÖRK BORG–compatible sandbox of mutation, madness, and ruin.
The Shattered Expanse is not a place.
It is a wound.
Born from a god-war that never truly ended, it is a desert where the sun screams in impossible colours, the wind carries the whispers of the dead, and every step risks corruption of body, mind, or soul.
THE SHIVERING UNBALANCE: Journey to Nyyrrkhaldt is a brutal, journey-focused sandbox for MÖRK BORG, where travel is lethal, rewards are cursed, and survival is never guaranteed.
Most who enter the Expanse die.
Those who return do not return whole.
WHAT THIS BOOK IS
A harsh campaign sandbox built around survival, corruption, and consequence, designed to be dropped into an existing MÖRK BORG campaign or run standalone as a grueling journey toward the ruined city of Nyyrrkhaldt.
This is not heroic fantasy.
This is apocalypse travel.
WHAT’S INSIDE
A modular wasteland of shifting deserts, glass wastes, fungal jungles, cursed ruins, and a dying city, supported by travel and survival mechanics, faction play, corruption and mutation systems, mini-dungeons, endgame locations, and extensive D66 tables for encounters, hazards, loot, NPCs, and urban chaos.
NYYRRKHALDT
At the journey’s end stands Nyyrrkhaldt, a city built on the bones of a hundred dead civilizations — ruled by hollow oligarchs, infested with cults, mercenaries, demons, and psychic fallout from the Bleeding Spire.
Reaching the city is not victory.
Surviving it is.

FINAL WORD
The Shattered Expanse does not care about your plans.
It does not care about your strength.
It does not care if you are prepared.
It only cares what it takes from you.
Enter the Unbalance.
Walk toward Nyyrrkhaldt.
See what survives.
