Old-School Essentials Gamebook by Hellwinter Forge of Wonders
Betrayed at your father’s pyre, hunted by your own blood. Can honour be reforged in the fires of vengeance?
On a night of dim stars and bitter fjord winds, your world shatters. As Bjorn Ironthorn, rightful Jarl of Yskalden, you mourn your noble father, only to watch your venomous cousin, Daner Koltair, unleash a coup drenched in treachery. Mercenaries swarm your hall. Monstrous drakr darken the sky, spewing embers upon your people’s homes. Forced to flee with nothing but a dagger and your father’s legacy burning in your heart, you become a knight errant in a land turned hostile.
Now, survival is a blade’s edge. Will you hunt the dragon commanding the drakr? Seek counsel from the enigmatic witch of the Hills of the Dead, whose motives are as veiled as the northern mists? Or dare to parley with the forsaken outcasts—broken men and women who owe no loyalty to any lord—to raise a desperate army against the usurper?
Every choice is perilous. Every ally comes at a cost. Will steel and honour be enough to reclaim your birthright, or will the weight of vengeance forge you into something as cruel as the tyrant you fight?
In this epic gamebook set in the Obsidian Throne world, your decisions shape your destiny. Choose wisely: the fate of Yskalden depends on your heart of steel!
