Dark romanticism¸ beauty and death. Travel the Esteren territories.
Immerse yourself in the Shadows like never before. This visual journey will take you all over the Tri-Kazel peninsula and beyond.
This 12-page excerpt gives you a taste of what this book will be like.
Dark Romanticism is expected to clock in at 200 pages¸ spanning a selection of our best illustrations¸ as well as new artworks¸ along with game design notes and narrative pieces. It is a journey through the awe-inspiring¸ deadly lands of Tri-Kazel¸ featuring many creations by Gawain¸ Chris¸ Nicolas Jamme¸ and Chane! We are honored to have Yoann Lossel as a special guest.
This artbook will be organized in 8 themes¸ providing material to illustrate your role-playing sessions:
? Demorthèn: Spiritual guides¸ sacred druids¸ heirs to the Osag culture¸ Demorthèn embody the connection between the world of men and that of the spirits.
? Magience: Holders of a science from the faraway Continent¸ Magientists have the ability to change the world-for better or for worse. They are the ideological adversaries of both the Demorthèn and followers of the Temple¸ and follow a rational¸ humanist credo.
? Temple: Soustraine's faith brought major changes to Tri-Kazelian culture. A source of hope for some¸ a danger in the eyes of others¸ the Temple has quickly grown into one of the major factions of the peninsula.
? Occultism: Investigators of the supernatural¸ mediums¸ and sorcerers wielding forbidden powers¸ occultists must usually live in anonymity and remain on the move to avoid persecutions.
? Landscapes: The peninsula of Tri-Kazel abounds in grandiose¸ wild landscapes. They are the untamed soul of this windswept land.
? Lifestyles: Illustrations of Tri-Kazelian civilization and its ways of life.
? Figures: Esteren brings the human condition to the forefront¸ the struggle of men and women to achieve their goals in the face of adversity and tragedy. This section is dedicated to them¸ depicting figures of Tri-Kazel.
? Feondas and Creatures: In the depths of forests¸ at the bottom of lakes and rivers¸ creatures lurk-deadly beauties haunting Tri-Kazelian folklore. The focus of this chapter is Feondas¸ including many new illustrations.
