From publisher blurb:
The Fair Folk of Winter are brilliant, dangerous, and keen. Do you have what it takes to walk among them?
In The Unseelie Saga, Players take on the roles of darkly magical Fae whose actions will decide the fate of the Winter Court.
Fae are living magic and as dangerous as that sounds. The Unseelie are Fae who are most powerful from the second half of autumn through the first half of spring. Our ideas of Unseelie are colored by the autumn hunts, the gathering of winter stores and smoking of meats, the bitter bite of the winter wind, the crunch of iced snow, the soft patter of spring rains, the brilliance of the hearth-fire and the gleam of the snowdrop. A Fae can wish for a lily, and a lily will appear, or wish for a dagger, and draw it from the air. What can challenge such beings? Oh, just wait.
This trilogy of adventures lets you tell the story of darkly magical Fae in a social structure that rewards the keen, the intelligent, and the fierce, as they confront the end of their way of life. In each adventure, the PCs have agency and opportunity to shift the narrative. In the final adventure, Withering Winter, the Thorn is dying.
The Players must decide: will they save the Glade, or shatter it?
The Unseelie Saga is written for the Cypher System role-playing game. Withering Winter is written for Tier 6 (high-level) characters. Withering Winter is set as winter turns to spring, when bright sunshine may nurture the young snowdrops, or fierce winds may unleash a final blizzard.
This adventure comes with fully-written NPCs, new cyphers, maps, and a wealth of possible endings. This adventure also includes The Unseelie Saga introduction, with new mechanics, tips for play, and the “Unseelie” descriptor.
Intrigue, manipulation, and betrayal are common among the Fae of the Midnight Thorn. Throughout these adventures, we offer alternatives for groups that prefer to avoid PC-PC conflict, and tips for playing PC-PC conflict in a way that keeps the Players enjoying the game.
Pull on your cloak to shield you from the icy winds. Take a breath. Turn into the falling sleet. For the last time, follow the call of the raven into the world of The Unseelie Saga.
