Publisher's blurb:
Tarvannion is a system agnostic toolkit for your old school fantasy ttrpg.
From the introduction:
Whither the lords of elfland gone?
And whither their glory, now left in stone?
Once verdant field now blackened fen,
And forgotten all that was back then.
Where now the spires that caressed the sky,
In elder days, in brighter time?
Those silver voices, a lost refrain,
That echo not in hall or plain.
Gone the wisdom, the ancient art,
That raised men's souls, enflamed their hearts.
Now forests mourn, dark rivers weep,
For secrets lost in dreamless sleep.
No more the forge’s fiery glow,
With heat from spells that ebb and flow.
Only ruins now, 'neath stars' cold light,
Still whisper tales of man’s lost might.
In dream alone, doth mem’ry stir,
Of days when men called elf “brother.”
In twilit wood their echoes call,
In lands where shadow deep doth fall.
So fades the age of myth and lore,
From mind of man, from shore to shore.
Yet in the hearts of those who yearn,
The fires of elder days still burn.
- “Whither The Lords of Elfland,” Connwyn Skald, 346.
