<h3>FABULA POINTS</h3>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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!
