The Pact of Pasaquine
Overview
From the back cover:
A Howl of Vengeance
For centuries the Pact has protected the peasants of Pasaquine from the enmity of Hrulgar, Prince of the faerie forest. But now the wolf cub of Hrulgar has been slain and the pack leader demands revenge. What sinister plot lies at the bottom of this horrible calamity and what will happen to the people of the village? More importantly, will this gnarled tree of events draw the covenant into its boughs and cause an irreparable rift between itself and the village?
This resource supplement for Ars Magica describes both the "peaceful" village of Pasaquine and the nearby faerie forest in a detail and depth rare to roleplaying. It also includes a connected story-adventure which will help bring your Saga to life.
