Blood And Horn: A Black Jewels Trilogy RPG
The weaving of kindred and the sacrifice of the demon dead saved the realms once, but now such times have shifted into obscurity. What will save the realms this time?
The time of Witch is over. Witch, now legend and lore, has passed on into the obscurity of history. Still, the people look to the darkness for answers that it has yet to yield to its people. The land is in turmoil as the Taint begins its slow creep over the realms once again. Centuries have passed so few remember the time before. Relics, some demon dead, some dragons and even the rare guardian or artifact, have begun to emerge from the darkness....
....yet, though the darkness is potent and comforting, it is concealing and unknowable. In the crevices of the darkest places, beyond even the vision of the blood....there lies a secret. The secret shall crawl out, and it brings with it the new Taint. However, this decay is not just the contamination of mind and body....but now the pollution of soul and spirit. Ancient pacts are defiled and with the changing of the land, comes a Taint that spreads across the landscape and the borders between the realms have begun to fray....
Deep within the shadow realm, in the Paw Islands, Philan has been struck by the worst of the Taint yet. Twisted and sundered in mind, body, spirit and soul, the once proud faery-like beings that lived and thrived there are now malformed and cruel. However, the scars in this territory are not the only visible tears in the realm.
Little Terrielle has engaged in trade with other territories and lured the smaller territories into voluntary enslavement. The worse of all is the loss suffered by Tigrelan. The noble Tigre people now watch their once-grand society deteriorate. They have created an intricate law system that supports only dark jeweled members of their society.
Hayll's once-glorious empire has begun to fall. Home of the Hundred Families which is slowly declining in power and strength, the aristos of Hayll scheme and look at the local territories...perhaps wishing to expand their borders. However, Hayll's influence has been reduced as it moves into an entropic decay of power as it struggles under the rule of a mad Queen.
The land of Shalador has been ravaged by the other Territories for so long, that the Shaladorians have embraced their fiery nature. Fierce, nomadic tribes, that were once disjointed, now join to rally their new ruler. Seeking the protection that the new ruler provides under a dark jewel, the three tribes have come to wary agreements. For how long will this dangerous pact last?
Come join Blood and Horn. This game involves Demon Dead, Kindred and Every Blood in between! Brave the darkness and take a walk in our realms......
