Such a hidden gem of a game. Having this song play at the end of a hard fought campaign is amazing. Reminiscing over your fallen heroes and the sacrifices they made. It's so strange for such a simple game to tell such great stories.

I learned about it from Architect of Games; hopefully his inclusion of it as the focus of a video helps draw more attention to it, it sure did for me. :D It isn't *quite* what I expected (I imagined a bit more permanence to the world) but it's still a fantastic little game that also shows you really can achieve quite a lot with just good writing and serviceable assets if you're clever. Even its soundtrack, while great and oft suitably atmospheric the rest of the time, is pretty tiny. Unless you're a polymath of disciplines you'll always need a team but it's a great reminder that said team doesn't need to be enormous for you to produce a quality result if you're willing to lean into your strengths and stylize what you need to in order to get by.

I had two loner characters that fell in love. Hearing this music as the epilogue played showing that they found an old tower in the middle of nowhere, restored it, and used it as a home/place to store all of their books and treasures from adventuring was a greater ending then I've seen in most games.

One of my favorite things about this game is how things you don't even think about can change the story. I was in my third campaign and had brought on two Legacy heroes who fought Ulstryx together. One of them, Janloth Odd, still had the glass spear that struck Ulstryx down. During the campaign Janloth was struck down defending innocents from an incursion. I thought he was going to die but instead an option came up to destroy the spear instead, its story was over but it felt that Janloth still had more to tell. In that moment Janloth's spear was shattered, but the weapon he would pick up would later be used to slay the monarchs of the deep.

I have a mystic, Ongar Swift. He sought the Grimblade to free a friend from possession in his campaign. He came into a new tale by being freed from a Thrixl tapestry, with the aid of another legacy mystic he himself had trained. Ongar met and befriended a hunter named Jimm, but as they fought side by side, Grimblade was shattered, saving Ongar from a mortal blow. Later on, Jimm would become possessed, and Ongar would once again find himself wielding Grimblade to free a friend. Interesting how stories can interweave and repeat themselves.

My first team…Amla and Ema were lovers from the start. By the end they were married with two kids. Amla was reeling in her grave as she struck the final blow to Ulstryx. Ema did everything she could to assist, getting Ulstryx down to his last hit. She passed peacefully and went on to guard the forests as a golden fox. May the heroes rest forever still.

This is the legend of Ema the Warrior. Hillfolk raided Muddstead in the winters while Ema was a girl. Naturally she found an old wood-axe and helped fight them off. In a glade one morning she met a stag-man, who showed her the secret of disappearing. Sometimes it seemed she'd keep disappearing until the sunlight turned to glass and stained itself in the world's passions. She trained with a knight of the Warless Order, learning how to search out the physical geometry of magic. Ever after, she would work at aligning herself to the world's hidden shapes. Was part of a group that witnessed a shadowy giant pass among the misted pines of Cobhills. She defeated the Drauven threat alongside the Guild of Summer. Monsters Killed: 46

Goda Bairnton watched his father slain before him by the Deepist cult. He hefted an axe, a great two-handed skullsplitter empowered by the spirits of the ever-falling rain, and carved 70 years of vengeance into the cult. When the time came, he leapt at the great spirit-turtle's offer to go on guarding after his first body died.

My 'main' character, Ema Fenspear, had a story circling sacrifice. Every chapter talked about sacrifice. It mirrored the drauvgn side of the story perfectly. And Fenspear lost everything to save the world - first her friend, second her lover, 3rd her mother, 4th her son, and 5th her granddaughter. All alone by the end, age 82, and saved the world. Last words the game gave her was sitting alone in a tavern, watching as people danced and gave her, the 'dragonslayer,' free drinks. And yet there was not even a slight hint of happiness to be seen on her face. Her friend died holding off the enemy as they escaped an ambush, her lover died taking a dagger from the dravgn assassin the mage dravgn summons, her mother dies taking out Thravyn with her, her son dies saving his daughter as the cavern collapses, and that granddaughter dies after killing the dragon with the dragonkiller spear. First 'photo' the game showed was the very first moment when Ema and her lover first met in a brawling competition. While he had a great time fighting he could not stop looking at the hunter just off to the side watching them fight. Yeah, I completely forgot about that moment until the game reminded me and I crawled into a ball and cried. A photo with 5 characters and 4 of them died horribly with the 5th left all alone.

I love how organically the game can create stories that are unique and personal to the player. Something about it hits hard when a character loses something after we spent time watching them build it up from nothing.

It's amazing how, without any doing from me at all, my hunter became the tragic hero of that campaign. Spoilers, I guess, for the gorgon campaign. Marcien, a poetical kid who loved stories and saw from the beginning that stories would be told about him and his companions. We recruited a warrior lass named Renona with red hair and a bit of a greedy eye, and from the beginning they were smitten. Marcien was the one who ended up being marked by the Gorgon in the end of the first chapter, and it turned him into a bit of a loner, but a loner who knew the threat the Gorgons posed. Through years of adventuring, they married, but no children came. In the second chapter, Renona fell in the battle for the spear, holding back the Gorgons while her love and her friends fled. She died, giving our mystic protection from a strike that would have ended his life and allowed him to make it to safety. But, a child did come, just not in the same way they'd pictured. Years before her death, Renona and Marcien adopted some little street urchin named Xanric (my own idea, that, because the kid only showed up in the 3rd chapter) who Marcien trained after Renona's passing. In the final battle with Ulstryx, Xanric... also died. Marcien slew Ulstryx in the next turn, with help from the rest of the party battering into him with magic and steel. In the end, it was the weapon Renona had died for that killed Ulstryx and scattered the horde of gorgons. In the end, Marcien ended up wandering, alone. I don't think he ever moved past what he lost, and the mark on his face would always be a reminder of what took it from him.

When I listen to this, I think of Lotarah. Lotarah lost her parents in a fire at an early age, and was ostracised by the townsfolk when rumors that she was responsible began to spread. Lucky for her, she had two good friends. One day, she found a strange book, with many stories, known and forgotten, and began to write on its blank pages. When she did, she gained strange powers, and her destiny was bound to the book. With this power, and together with her friends, she uncovered the truth behind the death of her parents and saved the world, but, sadly, that was not to be the end of her story. As all the others passed away, she realised the years did not weigh on her, not when she wrote those years and the stories within them in the book. Thus, she became the Mythweaver, tasked with recording the stories of heroes and legends of the world, even as all of them left her. Luckily, she wasnt alone. Her first immortal companion was a strange Knight, who praised the Sun, and enjoyed helping those in need. It would be him that witnessed many stories and relayed them to her to write. She then met a wolf woman, who had lost everything she once had in exchange for the freedom of the wild. And with her was a Crow Witch, a neofite of their coven, who had sworn to always look after the lost wolf to long lost friends. Those 4 would be her longest and most faithfull companions, but there would be others. An Enduring named Calkium, an eccentric individual even for an undead cyborg. The last of the Oldwane mystics, who wielded the most evil of weapons for the greater good. Andra Rootpiper, the mysterious wandering butterfly. When I hear this song, I think of Lotarah. I imagine her writing on the book at the end of a sunny day. She lifts her tired gaze, and is blinded by the sunset for a moment. In that moment se sees her friends, those that time forgot, to whom the people of today owe their age of sun and dry land. But when she blinks, its the knight, the wolf and the crow there. Yet, she smiles. For she knows many more adventures await them all, until the day her story ends, and the book finds its way to a new writer. For the moment a story ends, another begins.

This is the story of Eodsha and Valdin. Two lovers who took up arms to fight the Morthagi. During their travels, Eodsha remarked on her view of omens. She looked out for them, because omens are what led her to Valdin. She trusted the omens that came her way. One day, she found herself in possession of a cursed dagger. Her and Valdin set out to destroy it, but as she was faced with the fire she saw a vision. A vision of herself wielding the weapon to save everyone. Was this another omen? Was she meant to wield this weapon instead? In the end she decided to keep the dagger, despite protest from Valdin. Eodsha was never the same after that. Though she did become very mighty, able to strike down a Coachman in one blow, she lost something along the way. She slowly turned into a skeleton, having her humanity melt away with her flesh. By the time the transformation was done, whoever Eodsha was was gone. Her lover and son would never speak to her again. In the end, Eodsha led the charge against the Enduring to end the war once and for all. Her son and Valdin refused to participate, but she no longer cared. She destroyed the Enduring and saved everyone. With nothing left to protect and no one to stay for, she wandered far to the North. She was never seen or heard from again.

I've had an interesting coincidence. Other than one character most of the characters who got the Beasty transformations (wolf-touched crow-touched bear-touched) has been women. Started with Jamala, a warrior, who got crow-touched then later in the same campaign I think Thyma, another warrior got wolf-touched then her daughter Drimla, got crow-touched (and also fire-touched) in anther campaign I built a melee hunter (very fun btw) named wilni and she got bear-touched though it never progressed. then when I did all the bones of summer I had another warrior named Sable (daughter of one of the heroes who slew ulstryx who got the lightning transformation, Morn) who got Wolf-touched again. It wasn't until I went back and played Eluna and the moth that Gylcus, the younger of the two starting siblings got the moth wings and later bear-touched. His brother kalcus got the crystal transformation.
