Cast out from the Order of Magi for reprehensible and blasphemous research, experimentation into the nature of Death, and what lies beyond it, as well as the possibility of transcending The Cycle altogether, Kalleris abandons her small cult within the walls of The Order of Magi to certain death and strikes out on her own, fleeing deep into the wilds to fully devote herself to her research and rebuild her following. Arriving at a lone mountain in the desert, she settles down to found the Order of the Black Death, and begins construction of her Black Keep...

Rimworld fantasy medieval mod collection. I wanted to do a playthrough of an evil necromancer forming a cult around themselves, the worship of magic, and death. Though you can do whatever you want in this pack really, it has Rimworld of Magic which means there's a TON of potential playthroughs and themes you could come up with. I will be providing the starting save and ideoligion for my playthrough if you want to use them, which I highly recommend due to the need to edit save files to remove most of the higher tech factions/rewards/research. The mods in this collection all fit thematically within the world I envision, but if you feel something doesn't fit or want to add something extra, don't let me stop you.

Intended for me and my friends, though if you find this, then enjoy; And, if you have any suggestions for mods to add, let me know! I'm always looking for more interesting mods to check out and potentially use in the future.

For any new complex mod pack you should FULLY reset Rimworld, and all related files, to ensure no old, outdated, or incompatible mods are left behind. Reinstalling Rimworld or unsubscribing from mods WILL NOT fully reset your reinstallation and old files can still persist!

Folders that should be reset fully before beginning a new modpack:

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods (Manually installed mods folder)

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100 (Steam mod download folder)

AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios (Your user configurations, saves, etc)


1. Subscribe to the collection, and allow the download time to complete, might take a while to copy over. (I recommend overnight, along with forcing an update to Rimworld

2. Download the load order file from the above "Load Order (Mod Manager)" google drive link.

3. Open Rimworld and enable Harmony and Mod Manager ONLY, making sure harmony is at the top, while Mod Manager is at the bottom, like so:
- Harmony
- Core
- Royalty DLC
- Mod Manager

4. Restart Rimworld and go back into mods, if it looks different and has new options, mod manager is working correctly.

5. Close Rimworld

6. Type EXACTLY(without quotes) "%appdata%/../LocalLow" into Windows Explorer (the bar at the top of windows folders, etc).

7. Open the "Ludeon Studios" folder. Then "Rimworld by Ludeon Studios" folder, then ModLists (this folder WILL NOT appear until you have enabled Mod Manager and Harmony in Rimworld, go back to step 3 and restart Rimworld.)

8. Paste the Mod Manager XML file from Google Drive into this folder (LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld by Ludeon Studios/ModLists)

9. Restart Rimworld ONCE the file has been copied

10. Go back into "Mods"

11. Click on the button called "Create, apply and manage mod lists" on the further right of the other button in the BOTTOM CENTER of the screen.

12. Click "Load mod list"

13. Click "Order of Black Death" file, if this does not appear then either restart Rimworld OR you haven't placed the file in the correct place. Redo steps 6 onward.

14. Restart Rimworld and you're done!
