Here it is, the Dungeon World game everyone’s been clamoring for: the grand finale of The Nettle Crusades! With the fate of the universe at stake, The Nettlers (and Taeros) press on to the Realms of Corruption, where the Onion of Death awaits. However, when they stop to explore the fortress that lies on the border between realms, Taeros unwittingly frees a god of destruction from his eternal imprisonment, and now the fallen deity seeks to feed the universe to some kind of devourer. With the gods of light arrayed against them and the gods of darkness waiting to see who comes out on top, will our seriously overpowered adventurers be able to save the entire universe?

The Nettlers (and Taeros) continue their final quest to save the world from rampaging deities in the divine realms! On their way to retrieve the Onion of Life from its hiding place, they decide to stop at Techomsah’s stronghold, where Barnabus makes a startling discovery about the nature of his patron deity. Meanwhile, Pendrell takes on the divine mantle of a god who wants to escape the impending destruction of the universe, but finds that he is ill-suited to managing the god’s intended domain. As the party approaches the Shrine of Life, wherein their prize awaits, Barnabus, Pendrell and Avon are transported to a secret dungeon buried far beneath the ground, where a dark god of suffering has also been imprisoned. Can they find their way out of a magical trap, acquire the Onion of Life and continue on their journey, or are they doomed to spend eternity at the mercy of an evil deity?

Though The Nettlers (and Taeros) have brought a tenuous new order the kingdom of Wohlsenshire, they soon learn that the realm yet remains in peril of obliteration. Cosmic forces beyond the ken of mortals have been whipped into a furor by Hanzelbar’s thoughtless distribution of apotheosis rituals, and now the universe is in danger of tearing itself apart as the gods themselves battle to retain their mantles. Reluctantly, the party gears up and opens a gateway to the divine Realm of Purity, hoping to put a stop to this insanity so they can enjoy their heroic retirement. Can The Nettlers (and Taeros) prevent a pantheon of disgruntled deities from destroying creation, or will they, too be casualties in a battle of titans?

The Nettlers (and Taeros) are about to face their final confrontation with the nefarious (?) necromancer-turned-Ghost-King Hanzelbar! Pendrel and Friend have wagered their souls against the Ghost King’s scepter, which they need to prevent the rebels from turning Pendrel’s mother into a goddess of destruction. However, the three-way contest unexpectedly gains another competitor when Bohrs joins the fray, sent by the loyalist forces of Good King William to retrieve the same scepter. Can the Nettlers (and Taeros) put aside their differences long enough to vanquish Hanzelbar and rescue the kingdom from the threat of a ghost army? Will Humble be able to carry home all the treasure he’s been stealing? And what about Bohrs’ poor, poor bear companion, Wulf? It’ll all depend on whose cuisine reigns supreme.
