YZ Worldbuilding: Ruins of Symbaroum Call of the Dark

March 7, 2023 by Charles Dunwoody Leave a Comment

The Bell Tolls for Kastor, The Howling of Damned Gods, and What’s Bred in the Bone all deal with religious matters. The PCs must take sides, and their decision will profoundly affect the campaign world going forward. Religion and politics are intertwined in this world, and the final adventure in particular, marries the two into a complex and dangerous scenario.
