Ruins of Symbaroum Call of the Dark

Description

Ruins of Symbaroum – Call of the Dark

Call of the Dark is a 94-page hardcover book presenting two medium level adventures to be played using the special rules created as an addition to the 5th Edition OGL ruleset.

Inside you will find two adventures that in different ways relate to the growing internal divisions within the Ambrian realm. Call of the Dark plays out in the northern territories of the Lost Land of Alberetor, where the player characters will accompany a lowborn noble who is looking to prove the status of her family. The second adventure, Retribution, initially deals with the search for a person who has gone missing in the city of Kurun, but is soon shown to involve events which may have serious consequences for the relationship between the peoples of the Davokar region. Naturally, the player characters have a chance to influence the outcome of the stories, provided that they handle all the challenges that stand between them and a happy ending.

Ruins of Symbaroum invites you to join in the adventure! Explore the vast Forest of Davokar in the hunt for treasure, lost wisdom and fame. Visit the barbarian clans to trade or to plunder their treasuries. Establish a base of power among princes, guilds or rebellious refugees in the capital city of Yndaros. Or survive encounters with arch trolls, dark-minded blight beasts and undead warlords. But whatever you do, never ignore the warnings spoken by the wardens of the forest: tread carefully and do not disturb the ruins of old, for the darkness of Davokar is about to awaken…

With the Ruins of Symbaroum game line, the acclaimed setting of Symbaroum comes to the world’s most popular roleplaying game. Symbaroum emphasizes survival, tough choices, and the inherent dangers of a forest said to stir ancient evil.

A significant addition to the 5E system is a corruption system which sees characters accumulate corruption points. This leads to permanent marks on their character and introduces a new layer of risk, particularly when using magic.
