Dungeons & Dragons: Body Economy This link opens in a new window

A 2nd edition AD&D homebrew adventure, set in a realm ruled by powerful wizards with a tendency towards order. The players are sent by the underling of one wizard to "bring justice and do good" in the realm of another, where undead are protected property, a loan shark takes organs as collateral, and the presumption of moral authority is explicitly punished under the law. Can anyone bring light to this darkness?
