Skald: Against the Black Priory
Skald: Against the Black Priory is a classic, turn-based role-playing game. It is set in a dark and gloomy fantasy universe: full of tragic heroes, violent deaths and eldritch, Lovecraftian horror. With a dark, gripping storyline and inspired by legendary titles such as Ultima and the Goldbox series, this is my declaration of love to the classic role-playing game. It's a tile and turn-based role-playing game where you lead a party of up to six characters on an epic and dangerous adventure.
Story
The Gallic Empire is in turmoil: thanks to its wizard princes, the empire was able to survive for a thousand years. Now the fabric of the empire is fraying. Inside, the ruling elite is losing its jealously guarded monopoly on the use of magic. From the outside, hordes of enemies threaten the realms of men. In these troubled times, heroes are few and far between. On the isolated island of Idra lies the Black Priory. Its great libraries were once a haven of enlightenment and wisdom. Today, far darker practices take place in its halls. The Wizard Lord sends an elite group of his best knights to bring imperial justice to the cursed monastery. But all is almost lost when disaster strikes on the high seas: The ship on which the group is traveling is lost in a storm. All perish but one: You. Stranded on the shores of the desolate island, you are the people's last hope for imperial justice! Gather as many allies as you can and prepare to fight the Black Priory - pray you're still sane!
