The old gods are dead. The Oligarchs have risen in their stead, and their reign across Erebos has begun. The inheritors of Fate - called the Blackbirds - stand against them.
Description:
BLACKBIRDS is a horror fantasy tabletop RPG set in a world inspired by Europe during the Hundred Years’ War. It can be summarized as an alchemical reduction of three literary styles of fiction: low fantasy, epic fantasy, and grimdark fantasy. The dead rise, magic is real, and a concealed dagger is as deadly as a polished longsword. Nobility and morality are in no way related. Every battle is a matter of life and death. But there are romantic elements, and a doomed world may also still be beautiful, permeated as it is with melancholic charm.
