Article Summary

  • Free League Publishing unveils two new Ruins Of Symbaroum books for a grand campaign.
  • The Throne of Thorns Part I kicks off an epic adventure in Davokar Forest.
  • The World of Symbaroum book expands lore and provides new adventure landscapes.
  • Both new releases require the core Ruins Of Symbaroum books and are up for pre-order.

Free League Publishing revealed two new books for Ruins Of Symbaroum, in what will be a new series of releases for a brand new massive campaign setting. The two books are The Throne of Thorns Part I, which serves as the beginning of a massive campaign that will start you off down a new adventure, and The World of Symbaroum, which is more of an essential supplemental to give you everything you need for a more expansive experience in this game setting. No word yet on how many books will be a part of this campaign, beyond the obvious conclusion that we'll get a Part II. And it should be noted that both books require access to the Ruins of Symbaroum Core Setting Books, so you need the Player's Guide, Gamemaster's Guide, and Bestiary for full reference. Both books are available for pre-order at about $47 each, set to be released later this Spring. We have more info about both below.

The World of Symbaroum

Welcome to a world of mystery and adventure, of clashing cultures and ideals, a world constantly under threat from the darkness of the Eternal Night. This book expands on the lore and setting information presented in the Ruins of Symbaroum Gamemaster's Guide. It delves deep into the ancient history of the game world, and aside from general descriptions of people, places, and historical events, it provides the Gamemaster with lots of plot hooks and secrets, along with no less than seven detailed adventure landscapes centered around ruins in the forest of Davokar.

  • A player's section, introducing the game world's main settlements – Thistle Hold, Yndaros, and Karvosti – in great detail.
  • An in-depth look at the main settlements' history, memorable events, factions, conflicts, and establishments.
  • A Gamemaster's section describing what hides beneath the surface, with 18 historical secrets and 34 plot hooks.
  • Seven adventure landscapes for characters of 5th to 10th level, complete with conflicts, events, maps, and colorful NPCs.
