Wolves of God: Adventures in Dark Ages England
It is 710 AD. It is an age of iron and ruin¸ a wolf-season amid the ashes of Roman Britain. The spears of the English tribes are raised against their rivals¸ and the Wealh of the western hills remember bitterly what was taken from them. The shattered caesters of past Roman glory litter the land¸ each one laden with forgotten troves hidden by desperate men of the last days. Sorcerous Arxes once sealed against a Roman rescue that never came are now cracking open¸ the changed refugees within now seeking vengeance for a ruin of centuries past. The holy minsters of pious monks and godly nuns stand as bulwarks against cruel and merciless bloodshed¸ but can their labors ever hope to tame the beasts within their kinsmen's hearts?
Wolves of God is an old-school-inspired historical fantasy game from the maker of Stars Without Number and Godbound. Set in 710 AD¸ PCs take up the roles of daring English adventurers: brave Warriors¸ holy Saints¸ and sorcerous Galdormen all setting forth to brave the savage wilds of post-Roman Britain. Whether plundering ruined caesters¸ delving into the bewitched halls of ancient Roman Arxes¸ raiding the cattle of rival lords¸ or helping holy abbots in need of strong arms¸ the heroes will plunge deep into the savage past of this half-conquered island.
