On the surface Bogenhafen is just another bustling market town; the annual fair and market of the Schaffenfest is in full swing, and the adventurers are among many others flocking to the town.

But all is not as it seems. From the happy bustle of the fair, the adventurers find themselves drawn into a deadly web of intrigue, uncovering evidence of a sinister secret organization whose tentacles run through the highest levels of the town's society. They must tread carefully, sorting the guilty from the innocent, the misguided and the deceived, able to trust no one in a deadly game of hide-and-seek where nothing and no one is quite as it appears.

Can the adventurers save Bogenhafen? Can they save themselves from the misguided zeal of the authorities? And can they reach the heart of the canker before it is too late? All the time, the society and its pawns are watching, trying to misdirect and thwart the adventurers, trying to buy time - for the consummation of its evil plan draws ever closer...

Shadows Over Bögenhafen is the first major adventure for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, intended for beginning-level characters.
