Yarborn

Whisper of the Ancestors

A young Cossack. Old folk magic. A forest that watches, and answers those who know how to listen.

The story

The 18th century. Ostap, a young Cossack, comes back to the old forest of Kholodnyi Yar. His brotherhood is gone.

In the oak ravines something old wakes in his blood: the gift of the characternyks, the sorcerers of folk tales.

The forest is alive. It watches.

Characternyk powers

Grounded folk magic: cold mist, dark veins, birds that fall silent. Every power has a price.

  • Gaze Veil

    Закляття очей

    Enemies lose sight of you for a few breaths. Afterwards your own eyes and ears deceive you.

  • Iron Hide

    Залізна шкіра

    Blades and bullets barely bite. When it fades, your legs turn heavy.

  • Whisper of the Ancestors

    Шепіт предків

    See footprints, blood trails, hidden paths, and echoes of what happened here before you.

The Yar opens other powers to those who pay the price.
