Fragments of Memories

A king facing otherworldly destruction accepts an occult boon from an obscure church, and with it, anoints immortal champions who would drive ruin away. As peace reigned and more were created to maintain and grow the Kingdom of Volinn, they became known as the Anointed. Thus began the Age of Legends.

Many ages have passed since then. The King has since been overthrown, the nobility locked in conflict and overthrown, the church driven apart and diminished. Anointed were locked away or localized. But destruction returned from beyond - perhaps by coincidence, perhaps waiting - and with no Anointed, all were unprepared. Thus began the Age of Darkness.

The end of the Age of Darkness is yet to come. You have been freed from your imprisonment. From his centuries-fallen throne, the king calls, impossibly but surely, for you to come to his side and drive out the darkness. And surely, you must heed the call.

It is, after all, your duty as Anointed.

Memory and Inevitability

This is a Souls-inspired game about the moment-to-moment struggles of duty-bound immortals in a ruined world. Exploring abandoned cities, ancient battlefields, and long-lost corners of the fallen kingdom, they will both recover old strength and obtain long-lost items necessary to survive when they finally reach their destination.

It contains:

  • Character creation and development based upon remembering centuries-old events in your life and dredging up further memories of past glories and defeats.
  • A combat system built using (an extremely, heavily modified version of) LUMEN that can be extremely tactical. It's unforgiving, but you are immortal, after all.
  • Armor, Weapons, Spells, Maneuvers, and other equipment that changes how a character approaches situations.
  • Both standard enemies and Major Threats, who represent important, unique threats to Anointed.
  • Rules for exploration, including noncombat challenge resolution and ways to shift the context of enemy encounters.
  • Some guidance for running the game.

Any chances of community copies dropping soon? I love anything with memory loss in it.

(+1)

Sure. (This is more a game about having lost your memories and regaining them though.)
