Wraithlands

In a vast uncharted sea, shrouded in deep mist, rests Nullona - the Unholy Isle, the Devil’s Retreat.

Nullona is cursed in two ways.

First: a thick rolling mist known as The Haar that ebbs and flows with the moon. Even at the lowest tide it disorients the senses, distorts the landscape, and disrupts the very nature of things. At high tide it can disappear whole villages and reveal terrible secrets.

And second: by the decree of the Underkirk Lairds it is forbidden to die.

Kickstarter launches on Saturday 4th Feb 2023

What is Wraithlands?

Welcome to Wraithlands, a dark fantasy tabletop roleplaying game set on the cursed celtic island of Nullona, a mist-sodden conquered land of giant beasts, desperate villages, haunted bogs and daemonic landowners.

Nullona is ruled by the daemonic Underkirk Lairds from the smog-bitten Mainland. Their infernal law has bound the spirits of nature and the souls of mortals into service in the Underkirk's factories and workhouses. All who die on Nullona are drafted into their eternal service.

All except you: the Wraiths.

Wraiths were once mortals summoned in death by the mists of the Haar. They are still mortal, they bleed, toil, and age, but can be summoned back to life in defiance of Infernal Law. To the people of Nullona they are mercenaries for hire, great warriors of legend, and nasty little freaks.

The only power that Wraiths have over their fellow mortals are in Relics, powerful haartouched items of legend, and in their oaths to the land, the people, and each other.

In the book you will find:

• A vibes-heavy rules-light system that encourages player inventiveness and risk-taking, character death and rebirth, and quests worthy of legend.
• Helpful guidance for referees and flexible procedures to help run the game for new and experienced roleplayers.
• Fast character creation with unique backgrounds, from the Skelka straw witches to Boglach otter-gremlins and the moon-blooded crustaceous Crayl.
• A rules-neutral island setting with hundreds of locations, groups, NPCs and adventure hooks so that no two Nullonas will ever be the same.
• Dozens of magical Relics that tell the history of Nullona, with procedures to generate your own and seed them into the world.
• Fully illustrated by artist Paul Jon Milne (Grave Horticulture)
