Dominated by the rising city-states of Ameena Noani and Sentem, facing each other along the great War Road, the Zaharets has always been home to powerful civilizations. Beastmen ruins dot the landscape, a constant reminder of the Kingdom of Sin and the fragility of the Law of Men. Even older are the great ruins of the Hulathi, the legendary sea peoples, and the Hannic mansions sealed beneath the mountains, awaiting those who would seek out the Lost Folk. Scars abound from the wars between ruined Keta in the north and Gerwa in the south. And, far to the east, the legends of Muadah still beckon occultists and Jackals who seek to plunder its corrupted ruins. <p/>Inspired by the myths, cultures, and history of the Ancient Near East, and by such ancient texts as the <i>Iliad</i>, the <i>Epic of Gilgamesh</i>, and the Old Testament, <i>Jackals </i>is a Sword & Sorcery roleplaying game set in a Fantasy Bronze Age. With mechanics based on the popular <i>OpenQuest</i> system, <i>Jackals</i> places players in the role of Jackals--adventurers, explorers, sellswords, and scavengers--and sends them out into the peril-filled land of the Zaharets to make their fortune... or perhaps fulfill a greater destiny . . .</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In short, it's outstanding!" - <i>Tabletop Almanac</i> <p/>"As soon as I purchased it I wanted to sit down and play." - <i>DrivethruRPG</i> <p/>"I give <i>Jackals </i>a very solid 8.5" - <i>TheGamingGang</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>John-Matthew</b><b> DeFoggi</b> has been fascinated by the cultures, languages, and myths of the Ancient Near East for most of his life.
