The shining city of Ilrien, the pinnacle of culture and class in all the Principalities, is home to the six great Houses of the Esultare. You are courtiers and retainers to the House Al-Mari, originally come to this fair city as foreigners and strangers, now risen to power and prestige through strength and skill. Today, however, that power is under threat. Lowly city guards – mere Twistjacks, policing that rudest and meanest of districts – have dared to lay hands on one of our highest nobles!
You, as our most capable and proven coterie of retainers, shall set this to rights. These mongrels bark about justice, as though the only justice in this world isn’t taken or won. They have not won. You will not let them. See our scion loosed from these chains, for the honor of House Al-Mari is at stake.
Court of Blades is a game of Shakespearean high drama, skullduggery, and intrigue set in a magical Renaissance city full of political scheming and the flashing rapiers of dueling bravos. It uses the Forged In The Dark system like Blades In The Dark, a narrative-first system that relies on six-sided dice to resolve conflicts. No experience necessary, pregenerated characters will be provided.
Thank you for signing up for my game! This game will be Court Of Blades, using the Forged In The Dark rules engine. All you'll actually need to bring is yourself, though anywhere from 1 - 4 six-sided dice and something to write with and on might be nice to have. Pre-generated characters will be provided, and no experience with the system is necessary. Please feel free to post any questions here, or send me an email!
