FABULA POINTS

+ +

+ Fabula Points act as the core engine of the game, and they work as both a + mechanical and a narrative currency. The more hardships and defeats you face, + the more Fabula Points you earn; and the more you spend them to overcome + obstacles and challenges, the faster your character grows. +

+

+ In a way, Fabula Points represent the cycle of fate surrounding the + protagonists of the story: they gather resolve from defeat, channel that + resolve through the Traits and Bonds that make them who they are, and grow + stronger for that... only to be faced with even greater adversities. +

+

+ Is this truly a neverending cycle, or is it a spiral that can lead to new hope + for your world? Only by playing the game will you be able to reach an answer! +
