Cedar and Stone

Destroy undead, banish djinn, and subdue sorcerers in this OSR mountain-crawl inspired by the ancient Levant. 

A thousand years ago, the people of this region believed that gods reigned from the Omhanon mountains, sheltered by its mystic cedar forests. Now we know that there is only one god, the Sound, and that the things that walk those crags and woods are merely echoes of its song. 

You are Vagabonds, defenders of those that have been forced to settle in the Omhanon mountain range, driven there by armies and bandits. Here they are safe from the machinations of nations—but at the mercy of things from beyond the mortal realm.  

Armed with steel, the Sound, and the kindness of strangers, you will wander between the settlements seeking to help where you can. Chimeric beasts stalk the wilds, hateful undead prey upon the living, and mischievous djinn abuse the Sound's creation. Worst of all are the sorcerers, humans who seek to bind these forces to their own wicked ends. It is up to you to protect the people of the mountains from these threats.
