The second project, Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, is a tabletop role-playing game set during the Sarafan Order’s crusade against the vampire menace in Nosgoth. Employing the acclaimed MÖRK BORG ruleset, this TTRPG promises a streamlined, intense gameplay experience where players take on the roles of Sarafan warrior priests.
With six playable classes, unique weapons and spells, an official bestiary of nocturnal creatures, and the expansive landscape of Nosgoth, Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan offers players the chance to explore vampire hunts, uncover hidden histories, and venture into the spectral realm.
