🌐 Overview -

Babayaga is a megagame of court intrigue and secret lineage. Players take on a role as one noble family member in a team of four, representing their House during the opening days of the Jarlsland Civil War.

On one side, Players will support ‘The Covenant of the Iron Watch.’ This is the loyalist faction based in the, ‘Central Territories,’ which have declared for the current Tribune, monarch of the nation. On the opposing front, Players will fight for their liberties, as part of ‘The Volchenks Union,’ which is an alliance of the ‘Outer Territories,’ led by the new claimant to the Tribunate and rogue Central Territory of Tenann. The stage is set for a bloody Civil War, based in the intrigue and lies cast from both sides.

However, on the very eve of the rebel’s march into the capital, the Babayaga appears. Somehow appearing before both the Tribune’s Court in Rolcebad, and the claimant’s war council on the same night, the Baba reveals to them that neither of the opposed monarchs hold a true claim to the Tribunate, and that she alone knows who is the heir to inherit. The Baba claims to have stolen away the true Tribune, many years before, or so goes her tale. In return for revealing the identity of the true heir, the Baba demands one hostage from every House be sent to her cottage court. These hostages are to trial as her new apprentice and only after eight weeks will she reveal the true heir, as well as her selection for an apprentice. Furthermore, the Baba claims that the true heir, the provable descendent of the original Jarl, walks amongst the aristocracy, unknowingly, even now. What happens next? That is yet to be written.
