Just north of Altdorf, not far from the village of Frederheim, the sect of Shallya has a Hospice. Behind its imposing walls, souls in trouble receive help, and a lucky few find respite there.

Welcome to Archives of the Empire Volume II. A fascinating and diverse collection of articles on topics spanning the entire Old World. This second volume focuses on those towering walls of muscle and fat, the Ogres, who hail from the mountains of Mour, but have their home throughout the Empire and even around the world. Volume II includes new locations, careers and NPCs perfect for inclusion in your next WFRP adventure.
Archives of the Empire Volume II includes:
- Ogres of the Empire: Two chapters devoted to Ogres, their place in the Empire and their place at the gaming table. Included are three new careers, including the fearsome Ogre Butcher, who wields the magic of the Great Maw with bloody intent.

- Magical objects: Although magical objects are rare in the Old World, they are coveted and powerful things. This chapter contains rules for generating magical weapons, armor and strange objects.
- The Great Guest House: The Great Guest House is a refuge for those who need it and can afford it. Just north of Altdorf, the Hospice is a detailed location with maps, NPCs, plot hooks and more.
