Rule Your Domains
When you rule your Domains for the coming

two seasons or more, take -1 to this roll. On a hit
all your domains grant you their tributes. On a
10+ without problems, on a 7-9 one domain is
also in need of your attention. On a miss, no
tributes, and at least two domains in need of
attention.
If you renounce the tribute, or reinvest it for the
good of the Domain, gain 1 String on this Domain.
You can spend the String to improve rolls related
to this Domain.

Use this when you gain the right to a
fortified keep. Name your keep:

Rule With the Iron Fist
When you extort exceptional tributes with force,
send out a small gang from a keep you own, for
each Domain to tax, and roll+Vigor. On a hit each
taxed Domain grants you an additional tribute of 1
of their coin. On a 10+ with no trouble, on a 7-9
with some trouble. You decide:
* They pay now but skip next season
* They pay now but you get the trouble of this
Domain
* They pay, but you get the coin late, only by
early next season
Mark this move every time you roll it. If both
your dice roll equal or below the number of
marks, you sucked them dry. Take an ongoing -1
to muster until you regain the favor of your
people, and regardless of how much you demand
from them, they just pay regular tributes from
now. Erase one mark per season, and when you're
back to zero, you can again demand additional
tribute and remove the -1 to muster.

 Improve this move for giving them +1
armor (for this battle only) if their gang
size is reduced
 Call to Arms
When you muster a gang of fighters, your
famous name attracts more or better men.
Spend one more than your roll grants you
(even if you don’t roll).

hold one. Spend your holds to have your
spies answer your questions as for Draw
Someone Out, Read a Person, Take Stock of
a Situation and relay those answers to you.

marks, your network is uncovered. Chose
one and erase it:
* Someone reveals your name, you erase
one mark, and the network is avail.
again only next season
* They reveal nothing, but the network is
destroyed for good; cancel this move
 Resourceful
In a situation of danger or tension, you can
make an Advancement without the necessary
XP. Use it to your advantage, and keep it. But
the first 7 XP you gain, you must allocate to
cover this Advancement. You cannot have
more than a single one at the time, this way.
 Cold Blood
When you Seduce or Manipulate, roll+Nervi
instead of Fascinatio.

Draw Someone Out

harmed by regular weapons – only by those
that are magic, blessed, cursed, or in silver.

immortal entities, and their emanation
in this world (like werewolves)

remote or sacred location
domain: Armory (2)
Use this when you posses a treasure of
unique weapons and exceptional gear.
On the contrary of “Armory (1)”, this gear is
not magical, not enchanted. If you are a
Slayer, “Armory (1)” is the sensible choice.
Your armory includes (pick four):
 An armor of ancient making and great
quality; 2-armor
 Gauntlets, sabatons, helm; if used with
the ancient armor, add +1-armor for a
total of 3-armor. You are hindered,

 Hidden blades; you are never unarmed
and they inflict 1-harm ap
 A shield with metal hooks; you can
spend its Fate for a +1 harm ap to the

repair, but hinders you (Nervi -1)
 A sword (4-harm): either O huge or
O really sharp. Its blade is (pick 1 or 2)
O dark as night, O dented, O curved,
O shining and impressive
 A spear (4-harm): either O simple or
O ornate. It features (pick 1 or 2)

and brave (Vigor+1), O spirited and
spooky (Atrum+1). Apply the bonus
when the steed is relevant to your roll
 All the weapons & armors make you
look (pick one): O clearly dangerous,
O trustable and skilled, O inconspicuous
To obtain the other items; the GM decides:
* Some NPC claims to know where it could
be, or who could forge another
* Some powerful NPC has it in their hands,
and has named a price for it
* Someone claims they’ve seen it in some
remote place or in the hands of Natives
domain: Keep
Use this when you gain the right to a
fortified keep. Name your keep:
Its cost this season (see below):
 To be restored (1 silver)
You rule the land from (pick one):
 An ancient and rugged stone keep
 An estate within city walls
 A castle carved into the mountain
 A high tower with a bastion
 A large bastion with a grand hall
 Other (detail):
Your keep cost is 1 silver per season for the
first feature you pick, +2 for the second, +3
for the third, etc... If a cost is not met for the
season, cancel that feature and pay the rest.
If you pay nothing, the keep is in a state of
abandon; mark “To be restored” and pay that
price before you can activate features again.
 Permanent garrison (medium gang of a
dozen warriors, 3-harm, 2-armor)
 Solid walls & towers (1 Fate defending)
 Deep ditch & bridge (1 Fate defending)
 A dungeon and a secret exit
 A trusted officer to rule the land (no
penalty when you’re absent)
 Feasts, hunting and entertainment (+1
Fascinatio while you're in the keep)
 Other (detail):
Rule With the Iron Fist
When you extort exceptional tributes with force,
send out a small gang from a keep you own, for
each Domain to tax, and roll+Vigor. On a hit each
taxed Domain grants you an additional tribute of 1
of their coin. On a 10+ with no trouble, on a 7-9
with some trouble. You decide:
* They pay now but skip next season
* They pay now but you get the trouble of this
Domain
* They pay, but you get the coin late, only by
early next season
Mark this move every time you roll it. If both
your dice roll equal or below the number of
marks, you sucked them dry. Take an ongoing -1
to muster until you regain the favor of your
people, and regardless of how much you demand
from them, they just pay regular tributes from
now. Erase one mark per season, and when you're
back to zero, you can again demand additional
tribute and remove the -1 to muster.

character, you may gain XP also for:
 Fight a monster
 Suffer Wounds
 Erase a Fate
 Loot a monster’s treasure

playbook, you can mark XP two separate
times for the same type of action.
Once you added this Path, you can start
taking the following moves:
 Against The Monster
When you muster commoners to side with
you against a monster, roll+Vigor. On a hit
you get a war-band of half a dozen that
counts as a small gang, 2-harm, 1-armor. On
a 10+ take three, on a 7-9 take one:
* You muster a total of a dozen
* The mustered gang gains +1 harm
* The mustered gang gains +1 armor
* The mustered gang have horses
* The mustered gang have longbows
* The mustered will follow you on another
quest, as long as you provide for them
 War Paint
When you paint or tattoo your body with
symbols of monsters and terrors, you get 2
armor if you're naked or nearly naked; 1
armor if you wear clothes. If you wear
armor, use that instead.
 Supernatural Knowledge
When you encounter a monster, roll+Astrum.
On a 10+ ask two, on a 7-9 ask one:
* Where does it come from or goes to?
* Who (man or god or nature) made this?
* What does it want? Can we placate it?
* What does it fear the most?
Mark this move every time you roll it. If both
your dice roll equal or below the number of
marks, part of the monster will show on you.
 Not So Easy To Kill
Your dedication to kill monsters gives you a
+1 armor against them, in addition to what
you already have.
 Not Just A Human

gang, you count as a small gang yourself.

 Other (detail):

sharing your faith, or the locals fearing your
power, should bring you offerings. These
offerings usually consist of precious animals
and goods worth 1 Sacrifice. At times, they
might bring silver or even blood (willing or
unwilling) for your rites.
At the start of a season roll+Astrum. On a
10+ you decide what they bring (worth 1
Sacrifice; even 1 silver which you could spend
otherwise). On a 7-9 the GM decides what.

you what they demand from you instead.

gang of commoners praying here and
ready to defend you or the shrine
 Other (detail – you may use charms or
ceremonies for inspiration):
When those sharing your faith demand your
attention for the season, it’s usually for:
 Monsters and wild creatures
 Rebels or outlaws or brigands
 A challenge to your doctrine
 Other (detail):
domain: Land (3)
Use this when you gain rights over a piece of
land. Name this land:
Iron Fist marks: 

two seasons or more, take -1 to this roll. On a hit
all your domains grant you their tributes. On a
10+ without problems, on a 7-9 one domain is
also in need of your attention. On a miss, no
tributes, and at least two domains in need of
attention.
If you renounce the tribute, or reinvest it for the
good of the Domain, gain 1 String on this Domain.
You can spend the String to improve rolls related

 A castle carved into the mountain
 A high tower with a bastion
 A large bastion with a grand hall
 Other (detail):
Your keep cost is 1 silver per season for the
first feature you pick, +2 for the second, +3
for the third, etc... If a cost is not met for the
season, cancel that feature and pay the rest.
If you pay nothing, the keep is in a state of
abandon; mark “To be restored” and pay that
price before you can activate features again.

dozen warriors, 3-harm, 2-armor)

Rule With the Iron Fist
When you extort exceptional tributes with force,
send out a small gang from a keep you own, for
each Domain to tax, and roll+Vigor. On a hit each
taxed Domain grants you an additional tribute of 1
of their coin. On a 10+ with no trouble, on a 7-9
with some trouble. You decide:
* They pay now but skip next season
* They pay now but you get the trouble of this
Domain
* They pay, but you get the coin late, only by
early next season
Mark this move every time you roll it. If both
your dice roll equal or below the number of
marks, you sucked them dry. Take an ongoing -1
to muster until you regain the favor of your
people, and regardless of how much you demand
from them, they just pay regular tributes from
now. Erase one mark per season, and when you're
back to zero, you can again demand additional

When you extort exceptional tributes with force,

Domain
* They pay, but you get the coin late, only by
early next season
Mark this move every time you roll it. If both
your dice roll equal or below the number of
marks, you sucked them dry. Take an ongoing -1
to muster until you regain the favor of your
