This site was a project to make a list of available skills per Dungeon Degenerate character, which then went a bit overboard. It is based on the card CSS renderering work done by Stephan Beal for his excellent Morbad Tools site.

Sickly Soldier

Pressed into service as a youth, the rough life of the Imperial Infantry left him with a nasty case of the Trench Rot. His body withering within & without, the Sickly Soldier was sent to the front ranks as arrow-fodder. As he learned to throw himself in harm's way to protect the healthier bodies of his comrades in arms, he quickly lost any hope of reward for such sacrifice & knew his condition would go untreated until he lay dead on the battlefield. He fled East to find himself a doctor. Alas, the weary warrior didn't make it before he was run down & clasped in chains.

Brüttelburg

This walled city of truly massive proportions was built by a long-lost civilization of wizard-giants who carved their own titanic faces into the solid rock of the fortress walls. The vast city-fortress is divided into layers & districts by the immense fortifications & maddeningly complext design of the ancient stone walls & corridors. Ages of rapid expansion & slow decay layered on top of the alien stonework form a labyrinthine sprawl, its only maps long gone out of date.
