In this world, witches existed openly, but when the mundanes developed enough technology, they fought. The intervention of the fae and a new organization, The Order, set boundaries and control over witches, bringing a fragile peace. Yet, there is a need to be free, and those that push back are the enemy simply for the crime of non-conformance. Using the <strong><em>Forged in the Dark</em></strong> system, you challenge The Order as you and your Coven fight against the system. In terms of witches and sensitivity around their use, the co-authors are practitioners and they hired two sensitivity readers to ensure this project is compassionate in its portrayal of various cultures.

In this world, witches existed openly, but when the mundanes developed enough technology, they fought. The intervention of the fae and a new organization, The Order, set boundaries and control over witches, bringing a fragile peace. Yet, there is a need to be free, and those that push back are the enemy simply for the crime of non-conformance. Using the [B][I]Forged in the Dark[/I][/B] system, you challenge The Order as you and your Coven fight against the system. In terms of witches and sensitivity around their use, the co-authors are practitioners and they hired two sensitivity readers to ensure this project is compassionate in its portrayal of various cultures. Check out the campaign page for more details about this 240-page core rulebook.
