Excerpt
History is a conversation between facts and possibilities. This companion takes historical periods (Rome, the Viking age, Sengoku Japan, ancient Egypt, the American Revolution, and Imperial China) and introduces a mythic or speculative catalyst. You will fight in Roman legion formations blessed by Mars, carve Norse runes to survive Fimbulwinter, contract yokai spirits for Sengoku clan wars, and use revolutionary alchemy against British automaton redcoats. The setting mechanics, from Legion Formations and Yokai Pacts to Sun/Shadow Balance and Tabloid Fame, anchor historical drama in tactical, spiritual, and social systems.
