## Challenging Battles

Combat in Fabula Ultima is reminiscent of the console games that inspired it — each character will have a few tricks up their sleeve, and only by properly combining clever tactics and coordinating with your allies will you emerge victorious... especially when fighting against bosses!

## Your World

Fabula Ultima has no default or "canonical" world, and that's on purpose! Your group will collaboratively create a custom world in which your tales will take place.

That said, the world and characters you create must adhere to eight core principles, known as the Eight Pillars — which you can find on the next page!

On the other hand, if you're not familiar with the classic tropes of Japanese console roleplaying games, you can find a useful collection of inspirational worlds starting on page 16!
