It is the year 993 in the world of Legend. Dark signs haunt the prophets with disturbing visions about the end of time approaching. Border Rulers surround the Plain of Krath. They attack the mercenaries there, but also forge an alliance with their worst enemies, in the face of an imminent war with a force they have previously believed in the disappearance of. All because the messengers return from the distant and war-torn Kingdom of Wyrd, driven to the brink of madness by the horrors they have faced. Few of the survivors were to witness gruesome rituals whose goal was one: to bring back to life the True Magicians, the five ancient and bloodthirsty charmers who ruled the Legend at the dawn of time.
This is the story that will be presented to you by the new Blood Sword, since yesterday on Kickstarter there is a collection for its release. As players, you will have to choose your path: you can become both members of a nefarious band of soldiers and engage in fierce battles to retrieve cursed artifacts. Such as, for example, the Blood Sword, the only weapon capable of countering the greatest threat in this world. The choice is yours.
And the rest of the game content can help you with that. First of all, a manual for the latest edition of Blood Sword consisting of about 250 richly illustrated pages with maps, heroes, enemies, monsters and other phenomena from the game world. Among them, the player will find a general description of the history and lands of the Legend, as well as four different classes to choose from: Warrior, Sage, Sorcerer and Deceiver. Five basic adventures based on the older Blood Sword editions will remain in the title , but there will also be some new, unlockable storylines.
In addition, the game will also bring other novelties that we could not experience in the previous games of this title. New talents, signature magic items, origins of main characters, rules for moodlets (Fear, Exhaustion, etc.).
