Blackthorn Winter

You were chosen to break the icy chains that shackle the land! Feel the pulse of Slavic folklore beating in tandem with the thrill of arcade games and the depth of RPG character development. Alone or in pairs, craft skill trees to overcome an ever-changing world where no two adventures are alike.

Hear me, warriors of winter's chill!

Blackthorn Winter calls you to a saga of shattered ice and twisted magic, where the heart of Slavic myths beats strong. Morena's curse has turned our world to frost and shadow; hearths grow cold, flames dance with death's green light, and trees crumble under the ice's cruel embrace.

Take your hammer, your wit, and your courage. Alone or with your brothers and sisters in arms, fight through the frozen wastelands and dark dungeons. Awaken Vesna's spirit, shatter Morena's chains, and let the seasons turn once more. This is our quest, our battle, our story. Will you answer the call?

Stand valiant, alone or amidst comrades in arms, in local or networked battles where unity triumphs over rivalry. Overcome a land where each attempt by brave heroes is met with unexpected twists and elements of surprise. Venture through a realm where every new adventure reshapes the land, drawing ever nearer to the cryptic Baba Yaga. It is she, cloaked in enigma, who may bestow the key to Morena’s sanctum for the ultimate showdown.

Plunge into the depths of dungeons, where a tabletop perspective lets you strategically choose your battles and challenges in a classic setting. Tread thoughtfully, deciding whether to engage fearsome beasts, uncover arcane spells within the dusty pages of forgotten tomes, or face the enigmatic Monolith—a test of your mettle that reflects the core virtues of the game: Praise, Salvation, and Honor.

In this shadowed land, every step is a dance with danger as the insidious Lurker creeps ever nearer, urging haste in your dungeon delve. Yet, caution beckons, for only the well-prepared dare to descend into the abyss. Each choice, each encounter weaves the fabric of a tale thick with tension, cloaking your quest in an aura of otherworldly enigma.
