The forest of Davokar is old, dark, and hungry. Beneath its twisted canopy lie the ruins of the ancient empire of Symbaroum, beckoning explorers with the promise of lost silver and forgotten sorcery. But the woods do not give up their secrets easily; every step taken into the gloom carries the risk of corruption – a spiritual rot that taints the soul of those who dare to disturb the slumbering wild.
Free League Publishing has long been the gold standard for atmospheric, high-production roleplaying games, and Symbaroum is arguably their darkest gem. This Nordic noir fantasy setting trades traditional high-fantasy tropes for a gritty, deadly struggle between a desperate civilisation and a vengeful nature. Now, thanks to Fanatical, you can secure almost the entire library of this hauntingly beautiful system for a fraction of its usual cost.

Mechanically, Symbaroum uses a streamlined, player-facing d20 system. Players handle all the rolls, whether they are swinging an iron axe at a blight-born horror or dodging a gout of necrotic fire, allowing the Game Master to focus entirely on the narrative flow and the mounting tension. The system’s core philosophy is built around choice and consequence; the more powerful the magic you wield, the faster Corruption takes hold, potentially turning your hero into a monstrous shadow of their former self.
The real jewel in this bundle is the inclusion of the entire Throne of Thorns campaign. Spanning six massive volumes, from the political intrigue of Wrath of the Warden to the world-shaking conclusion in Davokar Awakens, this saga is widely regarded as one of the most cohesive and evocative campaigns in modern roleplaying games. It takes players from the frontier town of Thistle Hold to the very heart of the haunted woods, deciding the fate of the Ambrian kingdom along the way.
Visually, the game is stunning. The artwork by Martin Bergström defines the “Nordic noir” aesthetic, filled with muted earth tones, looming shadows, and creature designs that feel truly alien and ancient. Whether you are interested in the tactical depth of the Advanced Player’s Guide or the terrifying lore within the Monster Codex, this bundle offers a complete library of dark fantasy excellence that will fuel your table for years to come.
Don’t let the shadows of Davokar swallow this offer. You can secure this massive library of DRM-free PDFs until midnight Pacific time on Tuesday, 28 April. All files are redeemed through DriveThruRPG, ensuring you have lifetime access to your digital hoard.
