BACKSTORY: The Black Knight of the Sword and his home, Nightfyre Castle, originated in a world called Chrusion. Six months ago, as most of the castle’s garrison was afield fighting another of the king’s wars, the ground shook and the sky flashed and the formerly landlocked Nightfyre Castle found itself on a cliff overlooking a thousand-foot drop into a tumultuous ocean. Sir Kyle explored the surrounding area of Karma before returning to protect his charge and tell his brother what he discovered, finding easy trade with the peaceful towns around, but unsure of how to accept these new surroundings.
Nightfyre Blades: Sir Kyle wields Navingar, the Sword of Darkness, and Rhaedynai, the Blade of Soaring Flame. These twin magical, bonded swords are passed down to Nightfyre Castle’s Knight of Swords, Sir Kyle being the current holder of that title. When attuned, these swords cannot be disarmed from their wielder.

The Sundering is an insultingly inclusive fantasy world with intricate politics, economics and of course adventure. One of the very few Black-owned offerings in the Fifth Edition TTRPG space, this work was created by Hannibal Tabu and Damion Poitier and published by Laguna Studios.
